Amit Pachauri who plays the role of Tantya Tope in Ek Veer Stree
Ki Kahaani… Jhansi Ki Rani speaks on his experiences in the serial so
far
With round-the-clock shooting, historical attire and a profound
personality that he converts on the small screen, for Amit Pachauri it
feels special and stern each moment as the character takes him to a
different era and with patriotic convictions. Playing Tantya Tope in Ek
Veer Stree Ki Kahaani…Jhansi Ki Rani, Pachauri says the serial more than
anything else depicts the power of a woman and the respect she
commands.
In the city to converse about the experience after completing
almost 63 episodes of shooting, Pachauri spoke about all the skills he
had to imbibe and the wonder kid Ulka Gupta who plays Jhansi Ki Rani. "I
have extensively read about Tantya Tope and it is indeed great to play a
man who was one of the most commanding warriors of that time. I learnt
horse riding, sword fighting and most importantly, postures, to get into
the character, whose demeanour I cannot relate to even an inch in my
real life," adds Pachauri, who prefers remaining humorous otherwise.
Currently shooting in Silvasa and having shot in Jaipur and
Indore earlier, Pachauri says the five-day-a-week serial on Zee TV is
fast catching up. "In fact, people recognize me wherever I go and there
is a positive response each time. Moreover, Ulka is one of the best
child actors I have ever seen and is very talented. She keeps the
spirits high on the sets. While a few shots, such as the one where I am
hurt in the leg, took almost 65 takes before we could get it right,
others like sword fights and horse riding are relatively easy. However,
one important message that we attempt to bring forth is to break the
illusion that women are meant to remain in the background. Even in the
contemporary world, it is not easily accepted and portraying it through
history, we are proving the point that they too can fight and
righteously so," says Pachauri.
