I’m left with a headache and racing heartbeats: Ankit Gupta on performing intense scenes for ‘Udaariyaan’

Here’s what Ankit Gupta aka Fateh of ‘Udaariyaan’ has to say about preparations and after effects of intense and aggressive scenes.

Colors’ show ‘Udaariyaan’ has been keeping the fans entertained with the interesting twists and drama in the show. The current track of the show revolves around Fateh misunderstanding Tejo of having an affair with his friend Buzo. Fateh has decided to run away with Jasmine and stay in Canada as he is deeply hurt thinking about Tejo’s betrayal. Fateh has been acting quite rude with Tejo leaving her confused.

‘Udaariyaan’ featured two very important scenes recently which had gained accolades for actor Ankit Gupta who plays the character of Fateh in the show. One of the scenes had Fateh knowing about Jasmine wanting them to caught red-handed by Tejo. Fateh lost his cool for the first time in front of Jasmine and lashed out at her. He got furious to another level and decided to even break-up with her. In the other scene, Fateh feels that Tejo has been cheating on him. He gets angry and hurts himself.

We got in touch with Ankit and congratulated him on his performance in the show. We asked the handsome lad about how he prepares to ace such intense scenes. He quipped, “I tend to imagine as and when I read the script. I picturize and visualize the entire scene and try to make additions and subtractions when I go on the floor to perform such scenes. I seclude myself from everyone when I learn that I have a heavy scene to perform in the schedule. Music does the trick for me. I get into the mood listening to the songs that are close to the emotion that’s required for the scene”.

We asked him if he notices any after effects of heavy scenes. He added, “I’ve known and read about a lot of actors who follow the ‘switch on and switch off’ rule. Honestly, that doesn’t work out with me. I take a while to snap out of the character, mood and zone. After extremely heavy scenes, I’m left with racing heartbeats, shivers and headache”.

‘Udaariyaan’ is produced by popular television actors Ravi Dubey and Sargun Mehta under their production banner Dreamiyata Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. & Devirosh Films.
