Nothing defines glam like the lives of artists of the cinematic world. And HFM decided to row over to such a glamorous world and got across our city’s budding actor Avadhha Mehta!
Who is Avadhha Mehta?
Avadhha Mehta has starred in movies like Gujarat 11and Halki Phulki, and a television serial called Internet Wala Love.
He tries to masters his art of writing, production and acting in his short film – Laadki.
Spotlighting the hidden journey
It’s a fact not unknown how struggling is the life of an artist, especially an actor in the sea of aspirants. Avadhha, for the sake of it, enrolled in Anupam Kher’s acting workshop, and after months of vigourous training, he emerged with a dream to become an actor.
“It’s true when they say, Mumbai changes you. Acting got inside of me so much that every mundane thing of life came to me like a scene from a movie.”
After his workshop, he came to Surat, which housed auditions for a Gujarati film.
His father, ever the big supporter of his aspiring son, asked him to audition for the same. But he was skeptical to work in a Gujarati film, still holding the big dreams of Bollywood. His father insisted on opting for choosing local and he decided to give it a serious thought.
“I was the first one after the lead to be selected for the movie.”, says Avadhha Mehta with pride! Later, for shooting where his part was just about 8 seconds, he had to remain on set for 12.5 hours which highlights the amount of patience and discipline the industry demands.
Tales to tell
Talking to this lively optimistic personality, HFM got to learn quite surprising facts about him. Like his hobbies involve science and astronomy, and if not an actor, Avadhha Mehta would have aimed for becoming an Astronomical Engineer!
Talented and ambitious that he is, he also applied to New York Academy for Film Making and was accepted almost immediately, being personally invited by the campus handler Nelson lodgers.
He was all set to go, but alas, the pandemic hit! Blessing in disguise, team HFM was honoured to have known him! WINK!
Fitness stories, ft Avadhha Mehta
“Mental fitness plays a vital role for me than physical fitness. The film industry has a lot of competition, nepotism, and a lot of other things that can depress you. In such circumstances, if you don’t take care of your health, mental health to be precise, you end up with negative thoughts like self insufficiency.” Of course, this industry has a certain set of prerequisites for a physique which one likes it or not, is true. Hence I make sure I keep myself physically active.
Having a very strong metabolism, it's tricky for Avadhha Mehta to gain weight, which also became the reason for 17 rejections!
Hence to keep himself fit, he practices meditation. Moreover being an ardent Krishna devotee his nerves are at calm with different forms of devotional exercises.
