His diverse body of work includes a role in the Hollywood film Blood Diamond, participation in Bigg Boss 10, and appearances in films such as Humne Jeena Seekh Liya, Men Will Be Men, Bachchan Pandey, and Gadar 2. Last seen in the 2023 film Lakeerein as Dudhari Singh, the actor is now set to make his television comeback with the popular soap Pushpa Impossible.
According to a report by ETimes, Gaurav Chopra signed a pivotal role in the television show Pushpa Impossible, which began airing in June 2022. This will also mark the actor’s comeback to the small screen after a hiatus of almost 5 years. FYI: He last appeared on the TV show Sanjivani as Navratan (NV) Singh, which aired on Star Plus channel in 2020.
Talking about Pushpa Impossible, the plotline of the serial is centred around the life of a mid-40-year-old woman named Pushpa Patel’s journey from being a house help to navigating through various struggles. Here, Chopra’s character is believed to bring a fresh dose of energy.
Now, in a candid conversation with the same portal, the actor opened up about accepting the role and said, “I am one of those fortunate actors, who has been offered interesting and not the cliche roles on TV. Pushpa has an interesting story, and my role is well-written,” adding that he never had planned to stay away from television. He continued, “TV is a great medium and I have always enjoyed playing roles which have a challenge and depth. I have preferred to keep away from roles which are common in social dramas. In the past few years, while I was acting in films and OTT shows, I had never decided to keep away from TV. I was waiting for the right roles.”
The 46-year-old further discloses, “I play a lawyer, who becomes a mentor to Pushpa after much reluctance. The mentorship is earned, and he motivates her in her journey ahead.”
“I tend to make strong opinions when I watch shows or any content, so I prefer to do my homework on a show when 1 am approached for a role in it. I do watch TV shows, but not on a regular basis. I also don’t watch OTT shows. I prefer to watch classic films at home, and there is a lot to learn from them,” he concluded.
