Mahesh Manjrekar draws inspiration from his personal life

Portraying a character that is unlike you is not easy. It needs to look effortless, yet convincing and actors often turn to their muse to perfect their part. Seldom does one turn to themselves for inspiration but veteran actor Mahesh Manjrekar felt differently about his role in MX Original series, Pawan & Pooja. His character, who tends to find happiness in every situation, finds inspiration from the actor’s personality, he says. In the series, Manjrekar and Deepti Naval play Pawan Kalra & Pooja Kalra, a loving couple in their 60s.

Talking about his role, Manjrekar says, “I believe it’s so important to love life, enjoy it for its small moments and live without regrets – life is so unpredictable. When I was reading the script, this is the first thing that I noticed about my character Pawan and this is something I could relate to. So, it was fairly easy to get into character and seldom do you get to play such innocent and real characters.”
