Rohit Saraf said- I would like my partner to also have this quality

Actor Rohit Saraf, who has won the hearts of the young generation with his/her cute chocolatey look and lovely characters, is now coming to tie people in the love trap of Ishq Vishk. We had a special conversation with Rohit, who is currently garnering attention for his/her film ‘Ishq Vishk Rebound’, about this film, box office pressure, love, partnership, etc.:

Rohit, whatever films you have done so far, be it Dear Zindagi, The Sky is Pink or Vikram Vedha, have always had some big star with them. However, this time you have a huge responsibility on your shoulders, are you feeling some pressure of it?
To be honest, I don’t think like that. For me, responsibility doesn’t come by looking at the size of the screen. I feel equally responsible towards every work. If I wasn’t responsible towards my character in Mismatched, it probably wouldn’t have received the love it deserved. When I did Vikram Veda, I was feeling equally responsible. I don’t really understand box office or figures. They are not in my control either. I can’t change anything I do, so I don’t want to take that pressure. My job is to go on the set, perform well. Make my character such that people can believe in it and promote it properly. I give my hundred percent in all these things. Apart from that, I don’t understand the math that if my film is made in 5 crores or 10 crores, how much will it have to earn to become a hit. All this is the producer’s job. I leave it to him/her.

After your web series ‘Mismatched’, you are now bringing a love story to the big screen. What does love mean to you? How similar or different is this character from you?
I believe in old school romance. I believe that love should be such that when you go home, you feel safe, secure, comfortable. You can be exactly who you are in that relationship. That is love for me. Right now I am single but I want that whenever I have a relationship, it should be such that I can feel secure in it. As for my character Raghav in the film, he/she is very different from me. he/she is very confused in life. he/she cannot say no to anyone. Whereas, I say no boldly. I am not that confused in life. I have clarity about my things.

You yourself represent today’s young generation, yet believe in old school romance. Then, what kind of new romance is being talked about in the film? How do you think today’s love is different?
Our generation is actually that of millennials, so we only understand that old love. Whereas, in the film we are talking about Gen Z. In this generation, love, relationships are quite different. First of all, their tags are different. In the earlier times, if you are in love, then you know that it is love. There used to be a clarity whether it is love or not. Now this clarity is not there because maybe there are too many options, so there is more confusion in this generation. When you watch the film, you will feel that you have seen such people around you. When I read this story, I felt that I know these people.

What is the status of the third season of ‘Mismatched’ and your next film Sunny Sanskari’s Tulsi Kumari?
The shooting of ‘Mismatched’ season 3 has been completed. It will release by the end of this year or next year. Sunny Sanskari’s Tulsi Kumari is a very exciting film. Its entire team is amazing. Director Shashank Khaitan and Varun Dhawan, Janhvi, Sanya Malhotra, all the actors are great, so I am very excited about it.

What is the one thing you absolutely cannot tolerate in a love relationship? And what qualities do you want in your partner?
I cannot tolerate dishonesty in a love relationship. Respect is very important for me in a relationship. Apart from this, it is very important for me that my girlfriend or wife is very ambitious. This is a quality that I like very much. I am very excited by ambitious people who want to do something in life, want to achieve something, want to bring some change, so I would like my partner to have these qualities too. I have three sisters at home, my mother, sister-in-law and niece, so all the women around me have been strong, so it is very important for me that whoever my partner or wife is in the future, she should be very ambitious and self-reliant because I don’t think that if she is not like this, I will be interested in her.
