When I auditioned, the makers put a condition on me that I would have to shave my head off if I bagged the role. I had auditioned for this show in October last year. Every actor goes through the phase where he does not get work.

The reality is that I was not getting any offers. I won’t say I was flooded with a lot of offers and I declined them all. Yes, I was not doing much television in last 3-4 years. We didn’t see you much on television in last couple of years. I have just wrapped up a Gujarati film with their team, where I also worked in the capacity of a co-writer, assistant director and male lead. These are the people who taught me acting, writing and direction, something which is helping me a lot today. I am really grateful to Aatish Kapadia and Deepesh Shah. It has been phenomenal! If people like my work today, then a lot of credit goes to the whole team of Hats Off Productions. So how has been the experience working with them? As you just mentioned that you have worked a lot with Hats Off Productions. I have done four shows with them as a writer, assistant director and creative director. This (Tenali Rama) is my first serial outside Hats Off Productions. Initially, I only worked with Hats Off Productions. I came here and started getting work after a while. I believe if you are really talented, you get work in Mumbai. I opened my dance school in Ranchi, and then came to Mumbai. I learnt Bharatnatyam for seven years followed up by several other dance forms. Afterwards, I also trained myself in various dance forms.

I first auditioned at the age of four and got through it. My father is also an actor in theatre and works with Akashvani and Doordarshan also. So, at the age of four, I started doing Akashvani and Doordarshan shows in Ranchi, which is my hometown. Krishna Bhardwaj Krishna, tell us about your beginning in the field of acting.
