Chetan
Talks
About
Mahabharat
&
Mythological
Shows
BR
Chopra's
Mahabharat
in
which
you
were
seen
as
a
child
actor
is
being
telecast
currently
on
the
television.
How
does
it
feel?
It
feels
amazing.
Even
after
30
years
people
love
watching
it.
It
feels
fantastic
to
know
that.
Any
memorable
moments
from
the
show?There
are
many
memorable
moments.
I
remember,
when
I
saw
Arjun,
Karan
and
Bheem,
I
couldn't
believe
how
big
they
were
as
they
were
all
tall
and
muscular,
especially
Bheem,
I
was
like
oh
my
God!
What
is
this
(laughs).It
was
pretty
interesting
as
when
I
was
shooting
that
show,
I
was
14
and
at
that
age,
we
grow
rapidly.
I
finished
the
shoot
after
7-8
episodes
and
we
had
a
break
for
4-5
months.
Later,
there
was
a
flashback
shoot,
and
when
I
went
to
do
it,
I
had
grown
6-inches.
They
were
like
what
do
we
do?
(laughs).
Then
we
did
the
whole
flash
back
shot
sitting
down.
After
Doordarshan
re-aired
mythological
shows,
other
channels
too
started
the
trend.
What
do
you
have
to
say
about
the
mythological
shows
ruling
the
channels
amid
the
nationwide
lockdown?
This
has
been
there
for
a
long
time
now.
India
is
where
mythology
works
and
general
public
is
very
interested
in
it.
So
not
only
during
lockdown,
in
general,
all
mythological
shows
always
do
well
in
India.
Shows
like
Mahabharat
and
all
will
permanently
do
well
as
people
are
interested
in
mythology,
and
also
because
the
dialogues
and
the
way
BR
Chopra's
Mahabharat
was
written
was
outstanding.
Upcoming
Projects?
You
were
seen
in
Naagin
3,
and
currently
doing
RadhaKrishn.
Tell
us
about
your
upcoming
projects.
Is
work
hard
to
come
by
in
these
tough
times?
Right
now,
shootings
are
off.
The
last
show
I
did
was
on
Dangal
TV
(Alif
Laila),
which
will
probably
be
aired
after
a
month.
I
am
playing
a
wizard
in
the
show
and
It's
a
very
interesting
role.
But
as
of
now,
everything
is
on
a
stand
still.
I
think,
it
will
take
a
couple
of
months
before
we
start
shooting.
How
was
it
working
with
Dangal
TV?
It
was
fantastic.
I
had
a
good
time
working
with
them.
They
were
professional.
The
script
(Alif
Laila)
was
very
interesting
and
it's
a
fantasy
kind
of
show
that
I
had
not
done
before.
It
was
fun.
Will
we
get
to
watch
you
on
digital
shows?
I
hope
so!
I'm
looking
forward
to
doing
some
digital
shows/films,
as
I
still
haven't
done
any
in
that
platform.
Memorable
Moment
On
TV
Which
has
been
your
most
memorable
role
on
television
till
date?
There
were
a
lot
of
episodes
from
Ssshhhh...Koi
Hai
and
in
one
of
the
episodes
I
played,
Pahadi
Raja,
which
is
a
fantastic
role
and
is
being
remembered
by
people
even
now.
Also,
another
role
that's
memorable
is
Sasha
from
Kahaani
Ghar
Ghar
Kii.
Chetan
On
Non-Payment
Of
Dues
&
Advice
To
Fans
The
Coronavirus
outbreak
has
impacted
the
world!
The
movies
and
television
shootings
have
been
stopped.
Many
actors
and
cast
members
are
facing
non-payment
of
dues.
What
do
you
have
to
say
about
it?
It's
not
fair!
People
don't
pay
saying
Coronavirus
hai
tho
office
band
hai.
It
is
very
shameful!
We
actors
don't
get
regular
cheque
and
are
relying
on
cheques
which
anyway
comes
3-4
months
later.
Now,
they
have
got
this
reason,
saying
office
bandh
hai,
so
It
is
very
unfair.
Some
government
body
or
CINTAA
should
take
action
as
so
many
actors
are
struggling.
Lastly,
what
is
your
message
to
the
fans
during
this
difficult
period.
I
know
that
it
is
difficult
and
people
are
frustrated
already.
Now,
in
Bombay
the
lockdown
is
till
May
30,
and
further
lockdown
might
be
extended,
if
condition
gets
worsens.
So,
at
these
difficult
times,
don't
get
frustrated.
Try
and
learn
something
new
in
this
time.
There
are
so
many
courses
online,
better
yourself
by
doing
them,
instead
of
just
watching
television
or
movies
the
whole
day
and
wasting
time.
Do
something
positive
and
creative.
Time
will
pass
faster.
