What made you sign Rabb Se Hai Dua?
The Kundali Bhagya actor said, "I found the character very interesting and something new for me. The show already has its fanbase and getting into an ongoing show is a challenge for me and to be honest, I love taking up challenges. I want to keep working and keep trying out different things and that is what I am doing."
Have a look at a video from Rabb Se Hai Dua posted by Dheeraj Dhoopar:
What was your wife Vinny Arora's reaction to the show and your performance?
Dheeraj revealed, "She (Vinny) loved me as Subhaan in the show. She says that this character offers me a lot of scope to perform and gives a new identity to my personality. Before every character, I do or take up, Vinny and I discuss the character in depth and then take a call."
This is the first time you are playing a Muslim. How easy or difficult is it to have the mannerisms correct?
The Naagin actor added, "I spoke to a lot of my Muslim friends and actors with whom I have worked before and spoke to them about the smallest gestures and words that can be used. It is definitely something different and very exciting to be a part of. I won't say that it is difficult at all but it is different. There are some very small gestures and mannerisms that I felt as an actor I need to imbibe for this role and that is what I have done."
Did you take workshops or do some homework to get your Urdu right?
Dheeraj Dhoopar said, "Not workshops as such, like every other character that I have played, for this one too I worked on myself. I started living the character and I worked on the smallest of the things that I can use to enhance the character. I worked on my Urdu diction to get into the character. Not that I am speaking the entire time in Urdu but it definitely helps to enhance the character."
Your experience shooting with Yesha and Seerat?
Sharing further, Dheeraj revealed, "We bonded really well on the first day of shooting. We are still bonding as a team but definitely seem to be a great team to work with."
After playing a dark character in Saubhagyawati Bhav 2, do you think it will be difficult for people to accept you as Subhaan?
"I don't think so. After Kundali Bhagya this is my third project and with every project that I have done people have always appreciated me for the roles that I have played. So, I don't think people will find it tough to accept me as Subhaan."
