Samarth Jurel Opens Up About His Role in Buddh Dev, Shares Challenges and Excitement
Actor Samarth Jurel, known for his stint on Bigg Boss 17, is ready to amaze fans with his upcoming mythological web series, Buddh Dev. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Samarth shared his experience of stepping into this challenging role, revealing how the journey has pushed him out of his comfort zone.
A Shocking Script
Samarth admitted that he was “shocked” when he first received the script. Unlike most scripts written in Hindi or Roman, this one was in pure Sanskrit. “When I read the script, I was shocked. I told the production house it’s in proper Sanskrit and asked if they could provide it in Roman. They said the director would help, but it wouldn’t be as enjoyable,” Samarth shared.
Despite the initial challenge, Samarth decided to embrace it. “I worked on it for 15 days, but only one episode came out during that time. I kept wondering how I’d manage. But once I understood the story, everything clicked. I stayed up until 4 a.m. reading the script and performed the next morning,” he recalled.
Why He Took the Role
Samarth said he took up Buddh Dev to explore new genres and characters. “I don’t want to get bored doing the same type of roles. Reality shows are tough, but I like pushing myself and trying different things,” he explained.
What Buddh Dev is About
The series explores the fascinating story of Buddhadev, who represents the planet Mercury. The show delves into his origins, focusing on his birth, parents (Brihaspati Dev and Chandra Dev), and his role in maintaining stability in the solar system. It will also showcase his love story and his strong bond with his mother.
The series is set to have 22 episodes, offering a deep dive into Buddhadev’s journey, his thirst for knowledge, and the cosmic significance of Mercury.
From Reality Shows to Mythology
Samarth, last seen on Bigg Boss 17 and the TV show Udaariyaan, is excited to take on this new challenge. “I love exploring different opportunities, and this role gave me a chance to learn and grow,” he said.
