“My father has been a Kirtankar since I was a child,” he told the journalists. Gayan, the Vedas, the Puranas, the Gita, and the Bhagwat should all be familiar to Kirtankar. Understanding all of them and concentrating on them is crucial. Since I was a youngster, I have seen all of Maharashtra’s renowned Kirtankars. Thus, I had extremely deep roots. I have thereby maintained a connection to my heritage.

Since I was in school, I’ve been interested in working in theaters. I wanted to be an actress, that’s for sure. In seventh grade, I made this decision. Since I was a little kid, I have been fascinated by theater. After that, I participated in inter-school, inter-college, and interstate contests, became a pro, and began writing plays. I began making movies later, but back then, moviegoers would only see one or two sequences. I eventually experimented with the medium of film after doing TV programs as well.

He said, “If you are all journalists, you are the fourth pillar….” in reference to social media and taking responsibility for one’s written content. We live in a mobile era. Even for two minutes, they lack consistency. Not for a minute at all. All they need to do is watch anything. And is this habit—is it for them, or is it for our convenience? Therefore, nothing has to be written in order to make the news exciting.”

Chanakya, Ek Mahal Ho Sapno Ka, Rau (Marathi), Sangdil, Kabhi Souten Kabhi Saheli, and Mura Raska Mai La (Marathi) are among the TV shows in which he has acted. In Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat, he portrayed Chanakya.

Hungama, Hulchul, Dhoom, Bhagam Bhag, Chup Chup Ke, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, and Billu are some of his other works.
