Actor Rohit Purohit, who essays the role of Dr. Vikrant Saxena in the show ‘Dhadkan Zindaggi Kii’, recently talked about the difficulties he faced in understanding the medical terminologies during a conversation with BT.
Rohit shared, “It’s intriguing and thrilling. When I started working on ‘Dhadkan Zindaggi Kii’, it was not easy, unlike some of my earlier shows here, things have to be kept quite natural and subtle. It had to look like we’re doctors and not actors who are playing the role of doctors. So, basically, it was challenging, medical terms were difficult, also how dealing with a patient needs to look authentic was tough.”
He further adds, “The title, much like the show, is relatable. Since this is a medical drama based on the life of doctors and their struggles, sacrifices, and contribution to society, the title goes with the theme.”
Talking about his character in the show, Rohit shares, “Vikrant, my character in the show, is that of a very egoistic man. He is in love with doctor Deepika (Additi Gupta) but again he has different demands from life, as his upbringing has taught him that men are superior to women and that men are always a step ahead of women. Vikrant also goes with the flow of society. He is very ambitious and is one of the top surgeons in the country. His transformation is very interesting.”
When asked if he relates to Vikrant, the actor said, “I have never had this thought that men are superior to women as I’ve seen many strong women in my life, be it my mom, my wife, and many others, and I know what they can do. But yes, I’m ambitious like Vikrant is,” he concludes.
