Tenali Rama's Aditya Redij reveals who ignited his love for acting; says ‘Shah Rukh Khan's journey has always inspired me'

Time of India04-06-2025
Aditya Redij, currently seen playing the regal and wise King Krishnadevaraya in Tenali Rama, recently opened up about his beginnings in acting—and the icon who inspired him to dream big.
Known for his strong screen presence and layered performances, Aditya shared how acting wasn't something he actively pursued at first—it found him.
'Acting found me before I found it,' he said. 'I was always drawn to storytelling—whether on stage or in front of the camera. What cemented my decision was the joy I felt every time I slipped into a new character. That feeling was addictive—it made me want to dive deeper into the craft.'
The turning point in his aspirations, however, came from watching Bollywood's King Khan rise through the ranks. 'Shah Rukh Khan's journey has always inspired me. He came from a non-filmy background, faced struggles, yet carved a place for himself with sheer talent and hard work,' Aditya shared.
What resonated with Aditya most was SRK's iconic transition from television to the big screen. 'His transition from TV to films was proof that dreams can come true if you stay focused and believe in yourself.

Watching him succeed gave hope to many of us who started on similar paths.'
Aditya's own career has followed a steady and dedicated path, with performances across television and films that showcase his range. With Tenali Rama, the actor shared revealed how the show resonates with him personally and professionally.
'As an actor, I believe you have to experiment; you have to try different things out,' Aditya explained. 'Ek hi cheez try kar kar ke monotonous ho jaata hai. That's the reason I've been doing different genres. After this, I think I've covered almost all genres—except horror! I believe in exploring roles that are fictional, fantasy, drama, action, and now comedy with Tenali Rama.'
As King Krishnadevaraya, he brings a mix of intellect, authority, and warmth—qualities that reflect both his dedication to his craft and the inspirational trail set by the legends before him.

Mahhi Vij breaks silence on divorce rumours with husband Jay Bhanushali; says, ‘Why should I tell you?'

Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij are in the limelight for their alleged divorce rumours that are circulating all over the internet. However, the actress has finally reacted to the news and mentioned how she doesn't want to react much to it and give it too much importance. She recently appeared on The Male Feminist podcast, where she spoke about her personal and professional life. Mahhi briefly explained how people make a big deal out of others' marriages and divorces. She further opened up about the trolls she faces on social media on a daily basis. Talking about the divorce rumours, she shared, 'Even if it is the case, why should I tell you? Are you my uncle? Will you pay my lawyer's fee? Why do people make such a big deal out of somebody's divorce or separation? I see people writing in my comments section, 'Mahi toh decent hai, Jay aisa hai' (She is decent, but Jay is not). Then somebody else writes, 'Jay accha hai, Mahi hi aise hai' (Jay is good, but she is not). They just want to blame someone. Do you even know the truth? What do you know?' she said. The actor added, 'Here, people look at single mothers and divorces very differently. They assume there's going to be drama, now that it'll turn into a big issue, that the two will start throwing mud at each other. I feel there's a lot of pressure from society. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Just live and let live.' Mahhi rose to major fame for her role of Nakusha in Laagi Tujhse Lagan and Nandini in Balika Vadhu. Mahhi and Jay Bhanushali got married in 2011. The couple together have three kids: two foster—a boy, Rajveer, and a girl, Khushi—and one biological child, a daughter named Tara. They welcomed Tara in 2019.
