Was looking for something with different shades: Mohit Raina on playing negative role
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Actor Mohit Raina , best known for TV show "Devon Ke Dev... Mahadev" and films such as "Shiddat" and "Uri: The Surgical Strike", says he was eager to break out of good guy roles and that's when "Kankhajura" came his way. Raina essays the antagonist Max in the SonyLIV series, directed by Chandan Arora. It also stars Roshan Mathew. "I was deliberately not taking up anything else because I wanted to experiment. And that's the time when this opportunity came to me and I just grabbed it. I really didn't have to think even for once whether I should do it or not. So everything fell in place for me because I was looking for something that has different shades," the actor told PTI in an interview. Asked if playing a negative role came with any challenges, Raina said it was just like any other project. "But yes, it requires some kind of homework and preparation. A little more than what you would usually do because that's something that you are playing for the first time. I don't have a habit of watching the monitor while working. "In this case, I would really look at my director twice or I would go and watch it to understand whether I have done the right thing, or we are going towards the same alignment that we thought about this character on paper... 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 Because what is there on paper and actually doing it while working, is very different," he said. Raina rose to fame with "Devon Ke Dev... Mahadev", where he essayed the role of Lord Shiva. The series ran between 2011 and 2013. He also portrayed Shiva in the 2013 series "Mahabharat". But the actor is done with mythological characters, at least for now. "I don't think I would want to go that route right now." However, he wishes to step into the shoes of a historical figure in the future. "If given an opportunity, I would want to play a historical figure because it's been really long. I have not done anything historical. someday, some historical part comes my way." The "Uri" actor also expressed his eagerness to explore the comedy genre. "Comedy is something that I really want to do right now. So, I think comedy is something that I want to do," he said. Raina is happy with the way audiences have received "Kankhajura", which is the Hindi adaptation of critically-acclaimed Israeli drama series "Magpie" (2019). Calling Mathew a "fantastic actor", Raina said he had a great experience working with him and has followed his work before. "I think Roshan is one of the most secure actors that I have met in my life. Usually, a two-character thing can become a little tricky to play with. I have followed his work earlier, 'Parasite' and other series and other movies, a couple of them in Malayalam also. I think he was a fantastic actor," he said. Following years of television and films, Raina made his OTT debut in 2019 with the drama series "Bhaukaal". The actor said the transition to streaming space was smooth. "I think I was fortunate enough that the makers were ready to work with me and they wanted to work with me. They had trust and faith. It was a very smooth transition and a very smooth platform for me."

Muneeb preaches kindness to animals this Eidul Azha
In a recent Instagram Story, Muneeb Butt shared a video clip of a camel hastily fleeing a busy neighbourhood. "Yes, this happened yesterday," Muneeb wrote, adding that he checked the CCTV footage to confirm what happened prior to the escape. "Some kids were throwing little stones at this poor animal. He broke his cord and ran," he explained. With Eidul Azha just around the corner, the Shiddat actor implored, "Please, teach your kids how to interact with sacrificial animals." Netizens nodded along to Muneeb's statement, agreeing on the importance of treating animals with respect and kindness prior to the slaughter ritual on Eid. One Instagram user asserted that the sentiment should apply even beyond Eid: "Not just sacrificial animals, but with all animals. Raise your children with empathy towards the creation of Allah. It breaks my heart when I see children treating these innocent souls brutally." Another added, "Parents should teach their kids about animal rights." Sacrificial animals have been the talk of the town as of late, since earlier, Alizeh Shah urged netizens to be more sensitive and not share content of animals being slaughtered online. "Every year, I see so much pain on the roads – blood, fear in the eyes of animals, their cries – and my heart breaks," she said, stressing that while animals may not speak, they do have feelings. "They love, they nurture, they form bonds – just like we do. They were created by the same loving God who created us, and to see them suffer so publicly, often with pictures, jokes, and memes shared on social media – it's something I personally find very difficult to digest," she admitted. Alizeh acknowledged that people's intentions are often pure and reverent when it comes to observing religious sacrifice. She emphasised that she does not oppose the act of sacrifice itself, but instead hopes for some empathy this Eidul Azha. Requesting her followers to make this Eid more about the spirit of humility, the Taqdeer actor added, "If it's possible, please be mindful of the images and videos shared online. Some of us are deeply affected by them," she wrote. "Islam teaches mercy, compassion, and dignity – for humans and for animals." Alizeh added that anyone is free to disagree with her, but it personally pains her to watch the animals in such a state. "You may disagree and that's okay. I respect all views," she wrote. "But I had to say this because the silence has been heavy on my heart."
