Interview
Tejas Barve tells us his story! Read.
We can`t get over the fact yet that we are not seeing ever so charming and handsome star from Mrs.Mukhyamantri everyday with our parents and secretly blushing and also finding ourselves totally crushing on this star Tejas Barve.We are not so secretly stalking him on social media too!
We are so sorry boys but Tejas Barve is just raising the bar higher with his smile and looks that can kill! (I know most of you girls can relate to this and are jealous if you are a boy!)
From Zindagi not out to Mrs.Mukhyamantri his eyes did the magic, so his acting touched many hearts with his roles that made him a household name.
So for you guys I asked some Real questions to the actor while wishing we met in person!
Was acting your forever passion ya waqt ne kiya kya haseen sitam?
I can`t say it was passion but I loved to mimic people around me, my teachers, my parents but I had no idea I would be an actor some day and this helped me later on! But I was somehow always attached to art whether be in music form(I used to play Tabla) or acting in fests later on.
Which role you love to play onscreen?
I don`t have such list of roles I like playing, I try to play every role I get convincingly. that I like playing some particular role. I love to explore the versatility as an actor. And fortunately I have got different roles to play in my journey whether that be a teenage boy from Zindagi Not Out or a obeying son and a husband balancing two roles in Mrs.Mukhyamantri. I have loved playing every role from my heart.
Who is your favourite from the industry?
I can`t choose one because I haven`t taken any course in acting as such but through out the journey I learnt it from various actors from Laxmikant Berde to some budding artists, my journey has been graced by every actor out there. But for a special mention Sushant Singh Rajput have inspired me a lot and I relate to him a lot. Also not to forget, Shah Rukh Khan has great influence on my life and thoughts, he is someone I have always looked upto.
How was it being a Zee face?
Its every artists dream to work on Zee and fortunately I have worked for Zee Yuva as well as Zee Marathi. I am very thankful to Zee because due to Zee I reached almost every household in Maharashtra. As a child we always have a dream to feature under Zee banner and of course for me it was a dream come true moment.
Which Bollywood character you would love playing online?
There are many roles that I would like to play and I am well aware that to reach that level of acting it would take a lot of time but if given a chance it would be some Amir Khan role because I find his movies unique and worth watching say Akash from Dil Chahta Hai, you need to potray that character in such a manner that it wouldn`t look vulgar nor Sober. So I would definitely like to hop into something like that.
What was your experience while struggling in the initial days? Did you thought that this would come so far
I did various plays in my 11th and 12th. The first year of my college I participated in every event I can because I thought it was my last year to do so and from second year I took external because as a normal middle class student I wanted to settle down so immediately after that I started to interview for companies in Pune. Never thought I would take my acting this level seriously and pursue acting as my full-time career it was all destiny I guess.
How does it feel to be more samar than Tejas barve ?
Actually I guess being summer is a responsible task because he is one of the ideal personalities we can find and also in the serial summer is always under the pressure and very opposite at my house atmosphere is more friendly. But with samar he was always under pressure but still calm, composed and sweet. Of course there are many similarities between us and that is the reason I could play samar other more convincingly on screen
Do you watch yourself on screen what are your thoughts on it?
No I don’t usually watch myself on screen I don’t like to actually! When someone tells me that this scene you have played brilliantly then I watch it and also if someone tells me that this scene can be improved I watch it just to see what improvements were needed in the scene.I usually think watching your self on screen again and again limits yourself to yourself and you can’t explore more and more.
What are your ultimate goals in this acting career?
Ultimate goal is to explore various characters to tell different stories to play some challenging roles convincingly and more importantly it is important that you yourself and acting well playing a role along with the audience. So ultimate goal is to explore and prepare myself to be a better actor.
What message would you like to give to your fans?
Thank you Tejas Barve for taking out time to know more about you!

Paradox gets candid and stocks up the inspo from none other than Rajesh Yadav!
1) When did you begin creating material professionally? Was there ever a spontaneous notion or incident that altered your perception of content creation as a profession?
Rajesh Yadav: In December 2015 I started making content, and by God’s grace, my first video drew a big audience. My second video later went viral, making the characters well-known. As my first video went viral, I was motivated to work even harder on my content creation and no longer had to worry about making this my career.
2) Were there any other role models you admired before beginning your journey?
Who motivated you to keep going?
Rajesh Yadav: I liked watching TVF and AIB’s funny and caustic videos before I started working in this field. After seeing their work, I became a fan and started making videos.
3) When did your life change for the better?
Rajesh Yadav: Creating my first video marked a turning moment in my life because I had never before considered a career in the arts or as a content developer. Although I didn’t have much experience in this sector while I was in college. I joined a theatre organization because I had some free time, and I worked there on the weekends.
4) How did you find acting as Sandy in the Campus diaries?
Rajesh Yadav: Sandy from Campus Diaries was my first role in a web series. Due to his many varied characteristics, including the fact that he begins as a friend and ends up as a villain, Sandy is an extremely distinctive character. I had never portrayed a somewhat pessimistic role before. For the first time, I had the opportunity to participate in something brand-new; perhaps the second season will have even more surprises.
5) Whoever would you like to work with if you had the chance to work with any artist in the world, and why?
Rajesh Yadav: Shahrukh Khan is the person I would choose to collaborate with if given the chance. Shahrukh Khan is someone we have all admired and been inspired by since we were young kids, no matter where he is today. I’ve wanted to meet Shahrukh Khan since I was a young child, and if I ever had the chance to work with anyone I wish, Shahrukh Khan would be my first choice.
6) What difficulties did you face at the beginning of your journey?
Rajesh Yadav: The major obstacle I had to overcome at the beginning of my adventure was learning how to produce original and creative videos for the audience. My goal was to come up with concepts that I might potentially employ in novel ways over the long term rather than to produce something that couldn’t be used in the future. Thankfully, I had only encountered these challenges in my first video.
7) Your thoughts? Is that your greatest success to date?
Rajesh Yadav: Any success I may have feels enormous to me as a regular person who enjoys watching superstars and I always had fantasies about meeting them. Nevertheless, now that I’ve recently collaborated with Nawazuddin Siddiqui, communicating and working with them. It is an accomplishment. After following him in college and attempting to meet him, it’s an enormous accomplishment for me to be able to communicate and work with superstars.
8) What is your greatest professional goal?
Rajesh Yadav: We are all aware that every one of us has different goals. My current objective is to play the main character in a movie or web series so that I may discover my talent and exhibit it to others. This is my current objective, and after I reach it, I’ll think about pursuing some more challenging objectives.
9) How have you found performing and writing for MensXP? It is a truly new platform that requires robust connectivity in order to function.
Rajesh Yadav : Four years of working with MensXP has been a wonderful experience. You can work there with complete creative freedom whether you’re writing or acting. It’s critical that you are given the freedom to complete your task on your schedule without interruption. As a result of the drastically different environment you find yourself in, the genre is quite varied and contains humor.
10) What is the final message you would like to convey to your supporters and well-wishers?
Rajesh Yadav: I can only advise my well-wishers to take care of themselves. In this society when everyone is scrambling for something, we all neglect to take care of our physical and mental health. Sometimes we continue to put our physical health first while ignoring our mental health. I, therefore, urge every one of my well-wishers to take care of both themselves and others around them.
