Mukesh Rishi’s happy doing few but quality roles
When it comes to maintaining and appreciating old ties,nobody does it better than actor Mukesh Rishi. Frequenting town for friends and their kids’ weddings,this time round “it’s a venture by a friend’s son” that saw him inaugurating Just Brands in Sector 10. “Aditya Verma always had a room open for me when I was studying in Government College-11. Even at 12 at night I had full access to it and so am more than happy to be here for them,” Rishi goes back in time to the “carefree life and the city,the charm of which always lures him back”.
Currently working on a serial ‘Padmani’ on Sony,where he plays the role of Allah-ud-din Khilji,”I am also working on a few South Indian movies and Gup Chup Gup Chup and Manu the Great,” he says that now he’s happy doing few but quality roles. “Though I always wanted to do negative roles,by the end of it I had too much. Now,I want to do character roles that challenge my potential,” Rishi feels that’s where medium and small scale films step in.
Having started his career with Tipu Sultan and moved on with movies like Sarfarosh,”it’s my will to constantly do better that helped me survive,while others in the game along with me have simply vanished,” Rishi tells us that while shifting from modelling to acting,what also came in handy is the fact that he’d experienced everything. “Travelling by bus to enjoying the glam world,I had done everything and so getting into any character’s easy,” he smiles,but not before adding,”the industry is a battle field and you have to always be prepared like a soldier.” Yes sir!
Guuci,Ed Hardy,Calvin Klien,Prada,Fendi… the store Just Brands houses it all. Nestled in the back market of Sector 10,”it has all export surplus and caters to the age group of 13 and above,” informs the owner Aditya Verma,as he shows us a collection of halters,tunics,knee-length dresses. You can pick trendy hand bags,belts and slip-ons. The price range starts at Rs 250.
