After ‘Dharti Ka Veer...’, the 14-year-old actor will feature in the heroic ‘Dharam Veer’
The Delhi-based lad is just 14 years old and with his terrific performance of warrior Prithviraj Chauhan (in ‘Dharti Ka Veer Yodha Prithviraj Chauhan’, Star Plus) he has conquered the hearts of many. And now, Rajat Tokas is all set to take on another heroic character - that of warrior prince Veer in ‘Dharam Veer’ to be launched on NDTV Imagine.
So, what prompted him to take up another epical show? Rajat says, “To be honest, I had never I thought I’d come so far. My role for ‘Prithviraj Chauhan’ was supposed to be a cameo. But it received so much appreciation that it got extended.”
Ask him if he misses doing shows where he can play a contemporary character he says with a touch of arrogance, “The roles I play are of substance. Playing a contemporary character will not guarantee me as much satisfaction. The role of a warrior offers me great scope. I am required to perform several stunts - physical fights and sword duels. The swords are heavy and the exercise is extremely tiring.” In his tryst with swords, Rajat had even scarred his forehead and hurt his back recently on the sets of ‘Dharam Veer’.
On the personal front, he says, “I do get a lot of adulation from girls. I like it when they say, ‘I love you’.” Rajat says he is a good student and can balance schooling with shooting. He also enjoys partying and can be hooked to his play station all night.
