Chandan Roy Sanyal is thrilled with the way his latest role has been lapped up by audiences.
His Bhopa Swami, Bobby Deol’s ruthless sidekick in the Web series Aashram, is getting him appreciation as well as anger.
“Women are frightened of my character, so I guess it’s coming from there,”
Your performance in Aashram has been appreciated.
It’s amazing for any actor to get recognition and appreciation for their work.
I have not tasted success for a very long time, so it feels good.
Some people in my building have watched the series, when I take the stairs, they call me by my character’s name ‘Bhopa Swami’.
A girl on Instagram got very angry with me and wrote, ‘Yeh toh shakal se he harami lagta hai, yeh real life mein bhi harami hi hoga.’
I was like okay, thank you very much (chuckles). Women are frightened of my character, so I guess it’s coming from there.
Most of your scenes are with Bobby Deol. Did you see a friend in him?
Yes, yes. I think whatever chemistry and magic you see on screen is because of the rapport we share and it grew with time.
Now he is like a big brother to me.
During the lockdown, he had been calling and checking up on me.
I think it’s going to get better and stronger in season two.
What was it like working with Prakash Jha?
He is an accomplished film-maker.
He is constantly working, you will never see him sit in one place and chill.
He told me to keep things real and not overdo it.
