Kanwar Dhillon, the talented actor currently winning hearts with his portrayal of Sachin in the popular television series “Udne Ki Aasha,” recently shared an amusing anecdote from the sets of the show. In a recent interview, Dhillon revealed that during an outdoor shoot, his portrayal of an auto-rickshaw driver was so convincing that locals mistook him for the real deal.
From Taxi to Rickshaw: Sachin’s New Journey
In “Udne Ki Aasha,” Dhillon’s character, Sachin, faces financial difficulties and is forced to sell his taxi and rent an auto-rickshaw to make ends meet. This new development in the storyline required Dhillon to master the art of driving a rickshaw, a skill that he seems to have perfected, at least according to the locals who witnessed his performance.
A Compliment in Disguise
Recalling the incident, Dhillon shared, “So the other day we were shooting for an outdoor sequence where I was riding the rickshaw, and there were so many locals who walked up to me and said that I look really good in the uniform and that I’m handling the rickshaw well. Some even thought I was an actual rickshaw driver and tried to stop me!”
For Dhillon, this was a huge compliment, as it validated his efforts to portray his character authentically. “That was a huge compliment for me as an actor because we always strive to make our portrayals as authentic as possible,” he said.
Embracing the Challenge
While Dhillon has played a driver before, he admitted that transitioning from a taxi to an auto-rickshaw presented its own set of challenges. “It feels equally exciting and equally challenging to play a rickshaw driver,” he said. “The current track has Sachin selling his taxi and renting an auto-rickshaw to earn his bread and butter. Since an auto is a three-wheeler, maneuvering it is a different ball game altogether. But having had some prior experience, I didn’t require much prep work.”
Despite the challenges, Dhillon embraced this new phase of his character’s journey with enthusiasm. “It has been a great experience shooting for these sequences,” he shared. “We are still in the middle of filming, and I’m positive that people are going to love this track and look forward to more.”
