“In a mythological show, once you remove the wig and the makeup, no one can recognize you. This is a drawback of such shows. No matter how big the star is, it doesn’t matter. When you take off everything, only very big fans can recognize you. Also, your number of followers on social media is also less. That audience is that loves mytho dramas is different. When you ask your father or mother, they will recognize mytho actors. But if you ask a teenager, they might not be able to,” he says.

However, he isn’t complaining. “I don’t regret a thing. I still remember when fans used to meet me, they would tell me Jai Shri Ram. For me, this was the biggest achievement.”

Ask him if he agrees that the number of followers makes a big difference today, and he says, “Today whoever is seen on social media, that person is everything. There are so many tik-tockers with so much following. They are good performers but not actors. But their followers are as many as SRK’s. The number of followers matters in this field, yes, but also we are in the field of acting and that is different. We have to concentrate on our job as well, and not just social media.”

Tales of the Jagannath Puri temple : In the first tale, the viewers saw how Lord Krishna declared that in Kalyug, his rath would leave from Jagannath which is the equivalent of Dwarka and will reach Gundecha which is the equivalent of Vrindavan. In another story, Lord Jagannath’s devoted bhakt Madhav who goes in search of the Lord learns an important lesson and, in the last story, viewers examined how Lord Jagannath appeared in the disguise of Lord Ganesh and blessed his bhakt.

Intriguing facts of the Jagannath Puri Temple : The story took the viewers through Lord Ganesha reciting the story of Bedi walle Hanuman. The story revealed how Lord Hanuman saved the temple of Jagannath Puri from an adverse storm and ended up being chained there. While we all know about the revered temple of Jagannath Puri, this interesting fact enlightened people on why the Lord Hanuman’s statue is situated at the entrance of the temple.

Tales of Baiganwaali Bhakt : The story was about how a young farmer’s daughter who was a devotee of Lord Jagannath always used to chant his hymns in her melodious voice. During her birthday, the girl finds herself in an unexpected situation where her clothes were about to get torn. Looking at her situation, Lord Jagannath immediately presented himself in the farm to save her.

Witness the tale of Krutiya Banane ki Khatha : The story followed the trail of how Lord Jagannath helped his bhakt build a house disguised as Muraari. On the other hand, when Muraari builds the house in front of Madhav, he rejected it and said that this is not how the house is supposed to be made. Further, Goddess Laxmi portrayed by Rene Aarya changed her avatar to Vishnupriya and supported Muraari to decorate the house. On the other hand, Lord Ganesha was seen explaining the story behind the swar to everyone.

The Tale of Gopi Nath ki Bithak : The track narrated the Tale of Gopi Nath ki Katha. The story was about a temple pujari, who wants to chant and do puja of the Lord Jagannath Murti till his last breath.

Looking at this , Lord Jagannath turned himself into an Idol and sat down for him so that the pujari could easily do his puja.

It is so enthralling to learn about the events that took place during that time and how it came into existence. I hope I do justice to the story and my part. More than that, I hope that the viewers have something valuable to take away from the track. To be playing a role in imparting tales of wisdom to our devoted viewers, in the hope that it influences them and changes their perspective of life, is a surreal feeling, to say the least.”

“Sometime you do it out of choice and there are times when it has been a necessity. I take both positively. Now I want to do something more. I have been getting TV offers but they are not good enough, hence I did not take anything up yet. I am waiting for the right offer and also trying my luck in the web space. I enjoy watching web series myself and find the space thriving,” he adds.

While he has no qualms in doing mythological show, but he is more interested in doing films and web series now.

There is too much competition in the industry and the actor is ready for it. “Competition has always been present in the industry. In fact it’s there in every field of work. I never think about competition. I concentrate on my work and believe in myself. Before I got the opportunity to play Lakshman, I had faith that I would get the roles that I wanted to do and I got it. Moving ahead I am sure I will get opportunities in films and OTT too. Our industry takes our test and once you clear those exams you reap the benefits,” adds the actor.

Arun feels actors should also have an alternate profession. “If you depend only on acting then your future might be full of difficulties… This pandemic is the biggest educator to all actors. I know a lot of people who returned to their hometowns because they never tried a second option. I feel smart people always have a backup,” says the actor, who enjoys playing positive characters more.

His fans feel that his long hair is his USP. The actor too agrees, “I always feel my long hair is my lucky charm. I look totally different from other actors. My fans like my look too. I know there are not many characters for actors sporting long hair but I like my unique style more, I find it special. I am also very particular about my fitness. I never give priority to six pack abs because I don’t think abs won’t give you work. But you need to be fit to get work. Abs look good but are not necessary.”

In the current pandemic scenario no mythological shows are not being launched as they require a huge cast, crew, set and budget. “Yes that’s true. But when things get better such shows will happen again because we have a huge audience of such shows in India,” he adds.

Talking about how the pandemic has changed his lifestyle, the actor says, “There are two types of people in this universe, one who see everything in positive light and others who are usually negative. I see this pandemic in a positive way and I am focusing on learning new things and staying calm. I know these are tough times, but we should not panic. Rather we must follow norms and help each other,” he wraps up.
