Gashmeer Mahajan: Transitioning between mediums hasn’t made any difference in my performance

Gashmeer Mahajan in his recent conversation with Pinkvilla said that he emphasised that the transition between the mediums and it doesn’t affect his performance.

Actor Gashmeer Mahajani, who has been a renowned mark in the Marathi industry, now is winning million hearts with his leading role of ‘Aditya Kumar Tripathi’ in Imlie. The catchy story-line of the show and his character has pulled a lot of positive attention. Gashmeer in his interview with Pinkvilla has said that he doesn’t believe in the dichotomy drawn between the medium.

The actor stated, “I have been working in the Marathi industry for the past 6 years. And I have only done films in Marathi so far. And if you ask me about the transitioning experience of one medium to the other. I don’t believe it has made any difference to me. The work pattern or the way they take shots on television is slightly different. It took me 10-12 days to adapt into it psychologically. But apart from that, I have always believed that if you put me in front of the camera and if you sell me as your product on TV, web or in a theatre I don’t think about that and I shouldn’t be thinking about it. It’s me who’s performing, so you just say action and I will perform the way I perform”.

The actor also tarnished the word ‘transitioning’ which was associated with him, the actor explained, “The medium I am performing in does not matter. So these terms like ‘Transitioning into the TV’ really screw up with your head as an actor. You are an actor and you are in service of your own. I tell my producers also, I am working for myself. I am providing myself a service and I see that as a competition, that’s it! So I am just working for myself so the medium does not matter in such cases. My only motive I did something yesterday and I want to do better than it today. Whatever medium it is whether it is TV, stage, or whatever that is irrelevant while I am performing”.
