Yogendra
Kumaria
plays
the
role
of
Mahindra
in
Gauna:
Ek
Pratha
on
Shemaroo.
The
show
is
produced
by
Yash
Patnaik
and
Mamta
Patnaik's
Inspire
Films.
The
show
touches
upon
an
important
subject
and
beautifully
depicts
how
such
things
impact
humanity.
The
actor
talks
about
his
journey
on
the
show.
"I
play
Mahindra,
who
is
a
politician,
and
he
can
go
to
any
extent
to
protect
his
daughter.
When
the
role
was
narrated
to
me
I
was
convinced
about
it.
I
have
never
done
a
character
like
this
in
a
daily
soap
and
therefore
found
Mahindra
very
intriguing
and
I
was
like
I
must
play
the
character," he
says.
About
how
much
he
relates
to
Mahindra,
he
adds,
"The
day
you
start
prepping
for
a
role
or
when
you
play
a
role,
you
put
a
part
of
yourself
in
the
character.
In
this
case
too,
I
relate
to
the
emotion
of
a
father,
who
can
do
anything
for
the
happiness
of
his
daughter."
That
Yogendra
is
enjoying
his
stint
in
the
show
is
evident.
"I
have
great
expectations
as
the
script
is
quite
interesting
and
we
have
a
very
talented
team,
who
has
put
in
all
the
hard
work
to
make
this
show
a
grand
success.
It
has
all
the
ingredients
to
keep
you
hooked
to
the
show
that
has
drama,
love,
bonding
and
all
kinds
of
emotion," shares
the
actor,
who
enjoys
unwinding
with
good
food
and
sleep
after
a
hard
day
at
work.
About
working
with
Yash,
Mamta
and
team
Inspire
Films,
he
says,
"It
is
my
good
fortune
to
have
this
opportunity
to
collaborate
with
the
team.
My
last
stint
with
them
was
Rakshabandhan
and
it
was
a
wonderful
experience.
Along
with
the
great
memories
I
made
during
my
last
show,
I
have
come
back
for
a
new
venture
hoping
to
spend
more
such
unforgettable
times.
It
has
always
been
a
great
pleasure
to
work
with
Yash
Ji
and
Mamtaji.
I
am
happy
and
thankful
that
they
keep
considering
me
again
and
again."
The
TV
industry
has
evolved
over
the
years.
And,
the
actor
has
also
been
a
witness
to
some
of
these
changes.
"Yes,
the
scenario
is
changing
day
by
day,
and
new
content
is
coming.
The
channels,
producers
and
creatives' are
trying
different
ideas
and
concepts
to
hook
the
audiences
to
the
shows.
And
they
are
doing
a
wonderful
job
because
it
is
not
easy
to
engage
the
audiences
along
with
their
family
without
any
vulgarity,
sexual
content
or
abuses.
I
think
that
TV
Is
doing
quite
well
and
it
will
get
better
with
time,"
he
adds.
OTT
has
given
competition
to
TV.
"TV
is
to
be
viewed
with
friends
and
family
and
OTT
basically
is
for
private
viewing.
The
majority
of
shows
on
OTT
are
for
private
viewing,
you
cannot
watch
it
with
family.
OTT
is
extended
entertainment
like
you
have
social
media
and
other
modes
of
entertainment.
Similarly
OTT
is
one
mode
of
entertainment.
The
stories
that
you
cannot
watch
with
your
family,
you
can
watch
on
OTT,"
he
says.
