Actor
Mahir
Pandhi,
the
male
lead
actor
of
the
popular
fiction
show
Choti
Sarrdaarni,
recently
bid
adieu
to
the
show.
He
has
already
shot
for
the
last
episode.
For
the
unversed,
Mahir
played
the
role
of
Rajveer
Singh
Babbar.
The
actor
essayed
the
role
of
a
Sikh
boy
and
wore
a
turban
for
it.
Mahir
reveals
that
initially,
people
didn't
recognise
him
without
a
turban.
Recently,
in
an
exclusive
interaction
with
Filmibeat,
Mahir
Pandhi
said,
"Having
played
the
Sikh
character
on-screen,
I
wore
a
turban.
Initially,
people
didn't
recognise
me
when
I
took
off
the
turban,
but
now
that
my
pictures
without
a
turban
are
getting
viral,
people
have
started
recognising
me
as
Mahir.
I
receive
a
lot
of
messages
from
people
saying
that
I
look
like
a
completely
different
person
without
a
turban."
Mahir
further
stated
that
people
only
recognise
him
as
a
turban
boy,
not
Mahir.
He
said,
"Even
after
playing
the
lead
in
a
hit
show,
people
only
recognised
me
as
a
turban
boy
and
not
as
Mahir.
And
I
believe
it's
very
natural
because
they
have
connected
to
my
role
through
that
attire.
Initially,
when
I
wore
a
turban
for
the
show,
my
friends
didn't
recognise
me
in
that
attire."
Talking
about
how
he
felt
wearing
a
turban,
the
actor
stated,
"Wearing
a
turban
was
a
part
of
my
life.
I
spent
11-12
hours
a
day
wearing
a
turban.
It's
like
the
visibility
of
pride
and
flaunting
a
traditional
Sikh
culture.
It
was
a
pleasure
and
honour
to
get
an
opportunity
to
wear
a
turban.
When
you
don
a
turban,
you
feel
a
sense
of
responsibility."
Talking
about
his
career,
Mahir
Pandhi
shot
to
fame
with
his
first
show
Choti
Sarrdaarni.
He
has
also
won
the
title
of
Top
Model
India
in
2018.
Now,
he
has
started
shooting
for
his
upcoming
web
projects.
