Actor Rohan Gandotra rose the popularity from Ashutosh Gowariker’s TV show “Everest”, where he played the role of Aakash Joshi. Later, he has been part of shows such as “Qubool Hai” and “Kaala Teeka.”
Rohan says being a part of the television industry has changed him as a person. He said, “I used to be a very reserved person, who did not know how to speak. But being in this industry has made me more confident, more reliable, independent and a decent actor too,” He added,”The interesting thing about being an actor is that I love my job. When you love your job, it does not feel like you are working. It’s fun doing what you love.”
Moreover, he added,”I never thought I would be acting at any point of life. I was living life a stress free life. Everything in my life happened gradually and I just went with the flow. It was during my college days, when I started modelling for the college fest because I was friends with the designing students, who used to make clothes to showcase on the ramp. I got a good response there but later in my 3rd year of college, I realised that ramp modelling is not for me and I can try my hand at other kinds of modelling. Back in those days in Delhi there used to be a lot of print modelling assignments, hoarding shoots and all. I was 19 when I got my first professional photographs clicked. I was modelling for some time after that and did around 30-40 good brands alongside my college and later when I was doing a job too.”
Rohan says being an actor is not easy, many people follow you, and that forces you to make responsible decisions. He said, “An actor, who is loved by the audience, has the power to influence because people relate to them or their character onscreen. So it’s very important for us to make sure that whatever character, we are playing onscreen, should not influence anyone in the wrong way.”
