Arnav Maggo blends music and acting in Hai Junoon
Actor-singer Arnav Maggo plays Saransh, a passionate college vocalist, in the musical drama Hai Junoon . Starring alongside Neil Nitin Mukesh, Arnav brings a mix of musical experience and acting skill to his role as a member of the band Supersonics at Anderson's College, where Neil plays their mentor. The role allowed Arnav to draw from his real-life background as a trained musician. 'Saransh's journey mirrored my own — a singer chasing his dream,' he says. 'It felt like I was telling my own story on screen.' His musical roots helped him during the audition and throughout the show's performance-heavy sequences. Hai Junoon marks Arnav's second major screen appearance following his debut in Neeraj Pandey's The Freelancer . He also led the short film Aloo Bhujia , directed by Lakshmi Iyer and produced by Gul Panag. The film was showcased at various festivals. Although Arnav and Jacqueline Fernandez , who also debuts on OTT with this series, don't share scenes, they met during promotions. 'She is extremely sweet,' Arnav says. The show follows a campus music rivalry between two bands — The Misfits and Supersonics — as they compete for the GOATs Trophy. Arnav, who grew up in Delhi and studied in New York, splits his time between Dubai, Delhi, and Mumbai. He shares a personal connection to Kolkata, where his mother was raised and his grandfather lived. He fondly remembers childhood visits, especially the food at Bengali weddings.
