Vardhaan Puri: Acting Is Like Therapy

(MENAFN- IANS) Mumbai, April 24 (IANS) Actor Vardhaan Puri, who is the grandson of late star Amrish Puri, sees acting as a deeply personal experience that helps him grow with every character he plays.

Vardhaan, who made his debut in the 2019 film“Yeh Saali Aashiqui,” said:“Each character helps me understand my own emotions better.”

He talked about how slipping into different roles allows him to explore hidden parts of his own personality.

“Acting, for me, is like therapy. When I take on a role, I don't just pretend - I live it. Whether it's love, pain, anger, or joy, I feel it all with honesty. That process helps me deal with my own emotions and makes me stronger.”

He feels cinema has the power to heal, not just for actors, but also for the audience.

“I want to tell stories that stay with people, that make them feel seen and understood,” he adds. For him, cinema is a way to turn emotions into art one role at a time.

The film is directed by Kunal Kohli, who is known for 'Mujhse Dosti Karoge', 'Hum Tum' and 'Hiccups and Hookups'.

Produced by Jyoti Deshpande, under Jio Studios and Mohaan Nadaar from The Production HeadQuarters, 'Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story' released on February 11 digitally.
