Aakash Nagi on joining Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan: The biggest challenge was playing a bilingual character
Aakash Nagi and (right) as Jaal in Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan Aakash Nagi is excited to be part of Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, which also marks his debut in the historical genre. He plays the role of Jaal, an Afghani character who infiltrates the Rajput camp in Ajmer under the orders of Ghiyassudin. Speaking about his role, Aakash shares, 'For me, the most challenging aspect was that my character is bilingual — he speaks both Afghani and Marwari/Rajasthani. Another major challenge was performing action scenes while constantly wearing heavy costumes and accessories. However, my theatre experience helped me a lot in managing these demands.' One of the intriguing aspects of playing Jaal is the character's use of disguises. He explains, 'Jaal takes on various disguises — as a trader, a soldier, a dancer, and many more — to accomplish his mission and assassinate as many Rajput kings as possible, including Someshwar and Prithviraj.' Working on the show also gave Aakash the opportunity to collaborate with veteran actor Ronit Bose Roy, who portrays King Someshwar. Aakash says, 'It was a dream come true to work with Ronit Roy sir. We've shot some scenes together, and he's extremely accommodating on set. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 새로 나온 '실비보험' 최적가 가입추천!

I haven't had the chance to shoot with Padmini ma'am yet, but I did get to interact with her. She is truly a gem of a person.' Aakash's journey into acting is a unique one. Originally a mechanical engineer, he completed his engineering degree in 2018 and began working in the field. However, his passion for cinema eventually led him to pursue acting full-time. 'I was always drawn to cinema. During my engineering days, I used to watch up to three movies a day,' he recalls, adding, 'I started doing theatre in college, and it laid the foundation for my acting career. Initially, I did unpaid roles while working my day job. I landed my first paid acting role in 2020 with the Punjabi show Kamli Ishq Di, which was shot in Chandigarh.' Following that breakthrough, he made the decision to move to Mumbai and try his luck in the mainstream entertainment industry. 'Moving to Mumbai was a difficult decision and surviving there was a struggle at first. But once I started getting commercial work, it became a bit easier to sustain myself. I eventually landed my first lead role in the Hindi television serial Mere Desh Ki Dharti, and things started to fall into place after that,' he concludes.

Ronit Roy sheds 8 kilos to portray King Someshwar in Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan
Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, premiering from 4th June at 7:30 PM, every Monday to Friday is set to captivate audiences with its grand historical drama. This magnum opus chronicles the inspiring journey of Prithviraj Chauhan, tracing his transformation from an innocent young prince to one of India's bravest kings who kept the nation and his people above everyone. Crowned at a tender age, Prithviraj Chauhan was known for his unwavering dedication to protecting the nation. Even today, the epic battle between one of history's greatest villains, Muhammad Ghori, and Prithviraj Chauhan continues to stir pride in the hearts of many. Bringing alive the legacy of this iconic warrior and his lineage is celebrated actor Ronit Bose Roy, who will be seen essaying the powerful role of King Someshwar, Prithviraj Chauhan's father. Known for his intensity and unmatched screen presence, Ronit Roy has undergone a stunning physical transformation, losing a whopping 8 kgs to embody the persona of the wise and dignified king. Speaking about the transformation, Ronit Bose Roy said , 'To do justice to a character of such stature and legacy, I knew I had to go beyond just understanding his emotional journey—I had to physically transform myself to embody the strength, discipline, and royal bearing that a king demands. Over the span of two months, I lost 8 kgs through a rigorous and highly disciplined fitness regimen. My days would begin with strength training sessions in the morning, followed by intense cardio workouts in the evening. Alongside that, I trained extensively in martial arts and stick fighting to capture the warrior aspect of King Someshwar. These weren't just physical drills—they helped me tap into the mindset and spirit of a seasoned ruler and protector of the land. It's been an exhausting but incredibly fulfilling process. The goal was not to just look at the part, but to feel it in every scene. I hope the audience feels the same power and pride that I did while bringing this magnificent character to life."
