Rising
actor
Hirav
Mehta
has
steadily
carved
a
place
for
himself
in
the
industry
through
his
dedication
and
evolving
craft.
Known
for
his
sincerity,
discipline,
and
ability
to
adapt
across
roles,
Hirav
Mehta
has
been
gradually
building
momentum
as
a
new-age
performer
to
watch.
With
experience
spanning
television,
streaming,
and
now
film,
he
reflects
on
what
it
meant
to
work
alongside
icons
like
Ranveer
Singh
and
Akshaye
Khanna
to
name
a
few.
Hirav
revealed
that
stepping
onto
the
set
for
the
first
time
was
both
exhilarating
and
intimidating,
especially
when
performing
alongside
such
celebrated
talent,
“When
you’re
working
alongside
superstar
figures,
it
can
feel
overwhelming
because
somewhere
you
feel
the
pressure
to
rise
to
their
level.
On
my
first
day
on
the
set
of
Dhurandhar,
I
was
incredibly
nervous,
performing
scenes,
walking
in
sync
with
the
cast,
and
maintaining
the
right
presence,
especially
next
to
actors
like
Ranveer
sir
and
Akshaye
sir.”
The
young
actor
described
a
particularly
memorable
moment
of
encouragement
that
transformed
his
confidence
on
set.
“When
I
introduced
myself,
Ranveer
sir
told
me,
‘You’re
doing
great.
I’ve
been
watching
you,
you’re
performing
your
scenes
really
well.’ Hearing
that
from
someone
like
him
instantly
filled
me
with
joy
and
reassurance.
It
made
me
feel
like
I
was
doing
something
right,
and
that
truly
motivated
me.”
Hirav
Mehta
added
that
simply
observing
Singh
and
Khanna
perform
was
like
attending
a
masterclass.
“The
moment
‘action’
is
called,
something
shifts.
They
don’t
need
to
teach
verbally;
their
craft
speaks
for
itself.
The
variations
they
bring
to
their
delivery
and
performance
are
incredible.”
Hirav
also
adds,
“I’ve
learned
that
you
have
to
step
onto
a
set
with
a
clean
slate,
stay
open-minded,
and
allow
room
for
trial
and
error.
That’s
how
you
sharpen
your
craft
and
grow
as
an
actor.”
After
building
a
steady
and
diverse
body
of
work;
from
Mere
Sai
on
Sony
TV
to
Bade
Acche
Lagte
Hain
Season
4,
along
with
the
wider
recognition
he
gained
through
Netflix’s
Elite,
taking
on
Dhurandhar
felt
like
the
most
natural
and
forward-moving
step
in
his
career.
With
Dhurandhar
generating
strong
anticipation,
Mehta’s
heartfelt
insights
offer
a
glimpse
into
the
supportive
and
creatively
charged
atmosphere
behind
the
scenes.
