Aditya Rawal, son of veteran actor Paresh Rawal, is currently starring in Disney+ Hotstar’s latest web show Aar Ya Paar. He recently said that he looks up to his father and hopes to someday match up to his work profile.
In an interview with Indian Express, Aditya said, “The one thing I really admire about him is his humility. He doesn’t desire the fame or power, that’s the thing that draws me. He has worked for 40 years. It’s that longevity, you can’t set yourself a (deadline) of next year, or the year after, because it is such a long journey. That brings in a sense of calmness.
Aditya also said that his father keeps a sharp eye on his work. “Whenever he watches any of my work, we sit down and analyse it for hours on end,” he added. Paresh Rawal is married to fellow actress Swaroop Sampat.
Interestingly, the Rawal family looks at this line of work in a different way than most people would do. “The one thing we share as a family is that we take a very blue-collar approach to our work,” added Aditya. “Yes, it is artistic, but it is work – you need to prepare, need to have certain things ready, need to know yourself, deliver even on a day when maybe you are not feeling it. We focus on these things a lot.”
Created by Sidharth Sengupta, Aar Ya Paar also stars Sumeet Vyas, Patralekhaa, Ashish Vidyarthi and Shilpa Shukla in pivotal roles. The show tells the story of people belonging to the Deoghaat tribe.
