"I am not the person who tries and take inspiration from reel characters. I make sure that the role i play are real and I observe people around me and try to implement their mannerism for the required role," added the Baazaar star.
"One can witness the same from the character Subhendu. I have played three different ages in this series and I worked really hard to look completely different in all the three avatars of mine. From body language, expressions and everything, I have adapted the mannerism from the real people around me. I am not the one who tries to adapt from the reel characters. Atlast, I am happy people have started pouring love for my work." said Rohan.
