And, of course, you know, you feel different because you are wearing clothes that you would not normally wear on a regular day. So, that's the difference. The look is different. The setting is different. But apart from that, playing this character or playing any other character, there is not much difference in terms of building a character.

Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, television's grand historical epic, continues to captivate audiences with tremendous storytelling, grand visuals, and strong performances. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now , who plays the character of Karpura Devi, exclusively shared with Times Of India TV what went behind preparing for the role. The actress also shared her excitement about working with the same team again after . Anuja on working with the team again Very, very exciting because the last show that I did on TV was with the same production house, and now I'm again coming back on TV with the same production itself. So, it's very exciting. It's a great feeling because I know everybody, I've worked with them, and I know how they mount their historical shows. They are specialised, we can say, in making historicals and everything. So, it's great. It's great to be back. And back with the people that I already worked with. What went behind carving a role like Kapura Devi? So, basically, this part of the culture I was completely unaware of. Culture, history and reading up about it and knowing who was involved in this particular region and how the kings ruled and what the history was that went behind it and all of that. That was very new to me. Also, the language part where we have kept the nuances of a little bit of Marwadi and a combination of Hindi. Of course, it's more of Hindi and very little Marwadi is used. But I think that accent and those nuances matter a lot. So, I had to have an understanding of how those words are spoken, what the accent is and how these things are said. Because in the meantime, I had done lots of different work, where it was modern Hindi, English mix, English as we call it. And now going back to the roots, the pure Hindi-based with little Marwadi was a little tough part for me in the beginning. So, I sat with the creatives, and I read the script. We had episodes in our hands already. So, I sat with them so that they could correct me at that given point in time and tell me how it's pronounced. These kinds of preparations went on into putting something into this character. Keep reading this space for more updates.

The actor got candid about his character in the show as he spoke exclusively to Times Of India TV: How do you feel this role is different from the ones you've played before? I've never played a character who's a mathematics genius and also street smart—a geek, yet streetwise. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He's emotionally mature but struggles to express himself clearly. This contrast, yet the realistic nature of the character, is something completely new to me, and that's what makes it so fun to play. What excites you about this role? As I mentioned, the contradictory layers of the character really excite me. I've met people like this in real life. This might be my shot at portraying a multi-layered personality on screen. Being into fitness, how do you manage time between studies, shoots, and workouts? It definitely affects your schedule, but you have to find time—either before or after shoots. I don't strictly follow a gym routine. I prefer cycling, swimming, jogging, and weightlifting. When I have late call times or an off day, I make the most of it. Saud was last seen in the mythological series Shrimad Ramayan.. he also appeared in TV shows like Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah', Pushpa Impossible, Meri Durga, Mast Mauli, Kumkum Bhagya, and Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. He has also featured in popular Bollywood movies like Azhar, and Golmaal Again, among others.
