The soft spoken and humble Navi Bhangu is slowly and steadily climbing the ladder to gain prominence in the television circuit. With unique series like Amrit Manthan, Yeh Dil Sun Raha Hai in his kitty, Navi is currently busy with his latest venture Suryaputra Karn (Contiloe) on Sony TV.

Donning the character of the Indian mythological hero Arjun, Navi shared with us his experience playing the character. “Firstly, Arjun is an iconic character, who is regarded with high esteem. Moreover, my character name in Yeh Dil was also Arjun, which was loved by fans. I believe that I have some connection with the name Arjun and hence, agreed to do it.”

Being your first mytho show, how difficult is it to enact the character? Navi quipped, “The grand scale outdoor shoot definitely takes a toll on the health. Many might not realize that the mighty war sequences shown in the mytho series need more physical effort than the family dramas. After a certain period of time, the extensive shooting schedule leaves one completely exhausted.”

Finally we quizzed him about the preparations he made for the role and the artist replied, “Though I have referred to earlier versions of Mahabharata on the small screen, I feel there are certain limitations to such characters. Since every epic narrates the tale of a particular period, it is indeed difficult to put much of the creative inputs into it. Hence, we have to abide to certain acts.”

We wish the young man all the luck!!!
