A chat with Bijay Anand(Janak)

@bijayjanand @SiyaKeRam_SP any particular reason of coming back with this role ? #LoveSKR

@ashish_sharmaFc @SiyaKeRam_SP Sat Nam. As a yoga teacher, whatever philosophy I teach is the same as what is spoken by Janak in every scene

@SiyaKeRam_SP @bijayjanand are u comfortable in the clothes n jewelry u have to wear?#LoveSKR

@ashish_sharmaFc @SiyaKeRam_SP Yes. I love them. I find the outfits worn by Janak to be very artistic, simple, subtle and elegant.

@bijayjanand does the challenge of playing the character 'maharaj janak' intimidate you?#LoveSKR @SiyaKeRam_SP

@1Amarkumar @SiyaKeRam_SP Not at all Amarjit. I am only playing myself in this role. Which is exactly why they casted me for it. :-)

@bijayjanand sir, What excites you on this role as Janak? #LoveSKR @SiyaKeRam_SP

@SiyaKeRam_FC @SiyaKeRam_SP The philosophy & values that Janak lived by. His compassionate, kind & loving nature & his relationhip with Sita

@bijayjanand @SiyaKeRam_SP I see Janak totally in a new light altogether now.Do u think his charater was less explored until now #LoveSKR

@NiloPriya @SiyaKeRam_SP Janak was a combination of a saint and a King. U can make an entire serial out of this character. Very unexplored.

@bijayjanand what about dialogue delivery is it easy to use sudh Hindi / Sanskrit? #LoveSKR@SiyaKeRam_SP

@ashish_sharmaFc @SiyaKeRam_SP It's not easy but not too difficult either. I have done Ramayan and Mahabharat before so I had practice :-)

@SiyaKeRam_SP @bijayjanand sir as we know Janak also known as RajHrishi... do you feel this same thing as in you ? #LoveSKR

@theRajatHR @SiyaKeRam_SP Yes Rajat. That is exactly why I agreed to act again after 17 years. This character is a mirror to what I am today

@bijayjanand can you explain #SiyaKeRam in a word? #LoveSKR @SiyaKeRam_SP

@1Amarkumar @SiyaKeRam_SP In one word? LOVE

@bijayjanand @SiyaKeRam_SP what is ur opinion about #SiyaKeRam Director Nikhil Sinha?Ur experience working with him? #LoveSKR

@NiloPriya @SiyaKeRam_SP Hi Mano. Nikhil Sinha is an amazing director to work with. He will be doing big movies very soon. Really talented.

@bijayjanand anything u imbibe from #Raja Janak #LoveSKR @SiyaKeRam_SP\

@ashish_sharmaFc @SiyaKeRam_SP Nothing to imbibe from Janak. We are one and the same..

chartha gaglani @Chartha0083

@SiyaKeRam_FC @bijayjanand @SiyaKeRam_SP how did u prepared ur self to act this character, sir??

@Chartha0083 @SiyaKeRam_FC @SiyaKeRam_SP I did not have to prepare for this role Chartha. As Nikhil Sinha said, I was born to play Janak.

@bijayjanand how's working with the young Sita #LoveSKR @SiyaKeRam_SP

@ashish_sharmaFc @SiyaKeRam_SP Young Sita is awesome. You just feel so much love and awe when you look into her eyes. She is just amazing..

@bijayjanand sir, after 17years, how do u feel to do work in mytho show #SiyaKeRam? #LoveSKR@SiyaKeRam_SP

@1Amarkumar @SiyaKeRam_SP I am really enjoying it and loving it. It's a great feeling to be acting again after so long.

@bijayjanand is there another character that you have dream of portraying? #LoveSKR@SiyaKeRam_SP

@1Amarkumar @SiyaKeRam_SP I am not sure if I want to continue to act after SKR gets over. But any character that teaches loving and kindness

@bijayjanand @SiyaKeRam_SP Does ur character have interaction with Raja Dasrath?#LoveSKR

@patralekha01 @SiyaKeRam_SP So far no. But at the time of Ram's wedding with Sita yes. We do meet at the shoot almost everyday :-)

@bijayjanand what do u think about Ram and Sita casting.I mean Ashish Sharma & Madirakshi#LoveSKR

@NiloPriya I think that they are both awesome in their roles. Both really look the part. As does everyone in this wonderful serial..

@bijayjanand @SiyaKeRam_SP from yoga teacher to actor ... how?

@BinduTomar01 @SiyaKeRam_SP I just learnt some beautiful things about life that I wanted to share with the whole world.

@bijayjanand do u all remain serious in sets or off screen u all chill out #LoveSKR@SiyaKeRam_SP

@bijayjanand @SiyaKeRam_SP how is working with nikhil...is he strict

@patralekha01 @SiyaKeRam_SP Not at all. @nikhilsinhaa is almost like a Yogi himself. He is the coolest director that I've ever worked with.

Siya Ke Ram OFC @siya_kram

@bijayjanand u changed ur looks for this particular role or it's ur permanent style? #Love SKR

@vimala_suresh Lol. I don't even wear any make up. My beard is real and I've had it for a few years not. So yes, it my permanent style :-)

@bijayjanand @SiyaKeRam_SP #LoveSKR Sir shooting in ramoji film city is completed. Do you like film city...?

@Yashwanth9966 @SiyaKeRam_SP We will be shooting in Ramoji till the end. It is not completed. I love it here. It is an amazing studio.

@bijayjanand any outdoor shoots? #LoveSKR @SiyaKeRam_SP

@ashish_sharmaFc @SiyaKeRam_SP We already shot in Bhuj, Darjeeling, Lepakshi. Maybe Bhutan may happen..

@bijayjanand @SiyaKeRam_SP #LoveSKR Sir can we visit shooting will you allow us...?

@Yashwanth9966 @SiyaKeRam_SP I have no idea about the permissions required to visit Ramoji. They are very strict about entry to visitors.

@bijayjanand I also request u to show some philosophy of 'Astavakra Gita' and 'Yoga Vashishta'.

@dp_iec I can only act or do what is written by the writers but I know that they are following the most authentic version of Ramayan..

@bijayjanand @SiyaKeRam_SP Sir Your first reaction when you were offered the role?? #LoveSKR

@chetandhadwe @SiyaKeRam_SP No thank you was my first reaction. I've refused at least 40 films/serials in the past. So I was not interested.

@bijayjanand thanks for chatting with us will be waiting to see how ur character unfold.Any message for fans #LoveSKR @SiyaKeRam_SP

@swetabhandari @SiyaKeRam_SP Just open your hearts to love. The more you love, the more you will be connected to God. Be kind, honest & pure

@bijayjanand @SiyaKeRam_SP So how did they managed to convince you..?? #LoveSKR

@chetandhadwe @SiyaKeRam_SP They just showed me some scenes and dialogues of Janak. It was same as what I was teaching in class everyday..

@bijayjanand where did you shoot for the barren land of midhila .It was awesome.

@vimala_suresh Last answer for today.. Have to go back for shooting. BHUJ.. that's where we shot..
