When asked about his first reaction and thoughts about the recent twist in the show, Naman said, "When I found out I'd be playing a grown man with the mental age of a 7-year-old, I was super excited! The audience knows me as Adit, the alpha male, but seeing me run and hide behind Mangal like a child will be a hilarious contrast. I think they'll truly enjoy this fresh dynamic between Adit and Mangal – it's going to be a fun twist!"
Talking about prepping for the character, Naman said, "My team provided some references, but I wanted to keep my portrayal original and not draw inspiration from anyone specific. Observing my 4-year-old son helped – I picked up a few gestures from him that felt authentic. On the first day, we experimented with different approaches, and with my director's guidance, we refined it into a specific direction that worked well for the character.
Naman further added, "I'm truly grateful to our makers for giving me the chance to play a character with so many layers. It's both challenging and satisfying to portray different shades. Initially, I thought playing a childlike character would be easy, but I was proven wrong. The energy required is immense, and by the end of the day, I'm completely drained. Maintaining the character's consistency is crucial – one slip-up can show on camera, so it's a constant effort to stay in character."
We're sure the viewers are loving the current track and Naman's performance in Mangal Lakshmi.
