Shardul Pandit took weeks to prepare for his look in the music album 'Todiyega Aisa Dil'

Shardul Pandit, known for his hosting skills and stint on Bigg Boss 14, has recently garnered attention for his commitment to his craft in a new realm—music albums. Transitioning from his background in radio and television acting, Pandit's latest venture demanded extensive character preparation, pushing the boundaries of his artistic expression.

Currently dividing his time between Dubai and India for work, Pandit takes on the lead role in the music album "Todiyega Aisa Dil" alongside Vidhya Tiwari. The album delves into a Hindu-Muslim love story, portraying the couple's journey through challenges and sacrifices.

Pandit's immersion into the role of a lover grieving the loss of his beloved was profound. He underwent a meticulous transformation process to authentically convey the character's emotional turmoil. This involved meticulously crafting his appearance to reflect the character's anguish, shedding his usual persona for a lean, sorrowful look. Crucially, Pandit's eyes became a vital conduit for conveying the character's pain.

Check out Shardul's look here:

Shardul ,who has recently shot for a music album, took weeks to prepare for this look. He had to outgrow his beard and look haggard and lost. It was a process as his eyes had to emote the feeling as much. When asked on it further, he says, " It was a character I play of a lover who has lost his love. The part had to do justice without looking over the top, and my eyes had to emote what I was trying to show. I stopped meeting my friends over parties and lived with the character for a few days while I was simultaneously outgrowing my beard in a manner to give it some realism. Being indoors post-work for the longest time, I had begun to lose my appetite as well, so it all added to the look that has finally come out and is now for all to see.

The life of an actor is not always a bed of roses. Sometimes, to prove one's worth, one has to undergo real situations. It took me to really dark places and reminded me of many things in life that were not the best of times. I hope the audience likes me in it. I have definitely and truly worked hard on this one."
