I did a thorough research
First, I tried to get learn more about Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar with the help of books which he has written. Secondly, I read many books on him written by others. (PC -Instagram) Interview by Vaishnavi Gavankar
He was an inspiration
I learned how much politically active he was. Learning about his personal life study was important too. I think I am trying my best to portray his inspirational personality on-screen. (PC -Instagram) Interview by Vaishnavi Gavankar
On-screen look
Our makeup artist designed my on-screen character and all credit goes to him. When you are facing the camera for a shot, you need to keep the research aside and get into the skin of the character. (PC -Instagram) Interview by Vaishnavi Gavankar
Why I agreed to play the character
At one point, I thought it was interesting because I have previously played P.L. Deshpande’s character. After that I wanted people to watch me playing Dr. Babasaheb. I have never done a biopic on television. (PC -Instagram) Interview by Vaishnavi Gavankar
I love challenges
The character was challenging for me. Basically, I love to accept the challenge that is the reason I have decided to play this character. (PC -Instagram) Interview by Vaishnavi Gavankar
Adapt his thoughts in lockdown
We all are aware of Babasaheb’s thoughts and respect his thoughts. There are no possibilities to come out and celebrate Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Jayanti during the lockdown period. We just should admire and adapt his thoughts during this lockdown period and I think that is the only way to celebrate his birth anniversary. (PC -Instagram) Interview by Vaishnavi Gavankar
