OUR BUREAU Prashantt Guptha enters
New York
ctor Prashantt Guptha is set
to play a pivotal role in the
Anext season of India’s leading Bollywood AASHRAM
streaming platform MX PLAYER’s
hit web series, Aashram. The super
successful show is directed by veteran
Indian filmmaker Prakash Jha, and
stars Bobby Deol.
Now in it’s new season releasing
soon in 2022, Prashantt will make his
mark as the new entry in a very dy-
namic character.
Speaking to Prashantt, he ex-
pressed with much joy, “The show is
one of the most massively viewed web
series in Indian OTT history, and I am
delighted to be a part of its next chap-
ter. The highlight for me was to shoot
in Jaipur, my native city.”
Prashantt mentioned that the
location of the shoot was five min-
utes away from his ancestral village
of Kunda, near the historical Amer
Fort. When asked about the experi-
ence of working with a veteran film-
maker like Prakash Jha and a star like
Bobby Deol, he made some interest-
ing points. “I have never seen a more
enthusiastic and energetic man then
Prakash ji. His charisma and com-
mand would almost give me a com-
plex, such was my level of awe of him.
And Bobby Deol is a sweetheart hu-
man being. He’s a gentle soul and we
bonded very well. So much so when
I kept complimenting his fragrance,
he sent his boy to go buy me a bottle
of the same. The full circle of it all is,
years ago we were Co-Grand Mar-
shals in an India Day Parade in Long
Island, NY, and now we were co-ac-
tors in one of India’s biggest shows.

Born and raised in new york,
Prashantt guptha has long been
a mumbai resident and Bolly-

wood actor. He recently played
prominent roles in vivek agni-
hotri’s tHe tasHKent fIles
and Hotstar’s sPeCIal oPs.

Closing words on his experience of
Bollywood and where he has reached,
he now feels he wants to guide Bol-
lywood aspirants that are from the
US. And he extends a gesture to those
seriously interested to find him on
Instagram, @prashanttguptha, and
get in touch with him. “Having been
through what I have, I’d love to save
many much miseries and hardships.”
