Mumbai, February 27 – Actor Mihir Ahuja, in an exclusive conversation with IANS, has opened up about how he managed to remain calm and composed during emotionally intense scenes while filming "Shabad-Reet aur Riwaaz".
The young actor revealed that the music and the positive atmosphere on set helped him navigate the impact of emotionally draining scenes.
Speaking about filming in demanding conditions, Mihir told IANS that he relied heavily on music to stay calm and focused.
"I think I relied on music. You know, when you're shooting in the outskirts, there are a lot of things and challenges. Sometimes, even basic necessities are not available, and shooting in such circumstances becomes mentally difficult."
He added, "I remember that everyone on set had fallen sick with a viral infection. But despite all that, the atmosphere on the set was very positive. It was a fun environment," he added.
The actor further spoke about his co-star, Suvinder Vicky, and how his presence on set made filming even easier.
"Sir is not like his character in the show. He's a very fun-loving person. His warmth kept us all awake at night. So I think if there's energy on the set, then whatever difficult working hours you have, or whatever circumstances, it becomes easy automatically, if the people you're working with are good and passionate," he added.
The actor had also previously spoken about his experience on "Shabad-Reet aur Riwaaz", a series that explores relationships, faith, and the complexities of life. During the interaction, both Mihir Ahuja and Suvinder Vicky reflected on the show's emphasis on underlying emotions and layered storytelling.
Talking about "Shabad-Reet aur Riwaaz", the show gives a glimpse into the world of Ghuppi Singh, portrayed by Mihir, a 16-year-old boy living with a chronic stammer, and his determination to achieve his dreams, which stand in stark contrast to his family's deeply rooted legacy.
His father, Harminder Singh, a respected singer, expects Ghuppi to carry forward the sacred tradition of devotional music. However, Ghuppi is more drawn to football. The series explores themes of generational tensions and expectations that lead to conflict within relationships.
For those unfamiliar, Mihir Ahuja, who has made a name for himself with impactful performances, is known for his roles in projects such as Super 30, The Archies, and Mission Over Mars, among others.
