Aditya Redij Embraces Negative Role in Dr Aarambhi After Years of Positive Characters
Aditya Redij, known for his roles in popular television shows like Tenali Rama and Mere Rang Mein Rangne Wali, is making a much-anticipated return to the small screen with the new series Dr Aarambhi. The actor, who began his career portraying characters with grey undertones before transitioning to predominantly positive roles, is now thrilled to delve back into the realm of negative characters.
Exploring Grey Shades: A Return to Performance Depth
Expressing his excitement about this new venture, Aditya highlights that roles with grey shades offer a broader scope for performance. "When a character has grey shades, there are many variations to explore. I haven't done such a role in a long time. My first show had those shades initially, but it eventually turned positive. This time, there's no chance of that," he says. This marks a significant shift from his recent work, where he has been largely associated with positive and heroic roles on television.
Intentional Career Breaks: Family, Health, and Mental Readiness
Aditya Redij has taken several breaks over the years, and he emphasizes that these were always intentional decisions. "Whenever these breaks came, it was my personal choice, whether for family, health, or simply to be mentally ready for a new project," he explains. He acknowledges the physical and mental toll of long shooting hours and continuous schedules, stating that taking time off was a conscious decision to recharge and prepare for future endeavors.
After his stint in Tenali Rama, Aditya returned to work within a few months, deciding he did not want to extend his break further. However, one of the primary reasons for his earlier slowdown was fatherhood.
Fatherhood as a Priority: Dedicated Time for His Son
Aditya shares that becoming a father was a key factor in his decision to step back from work. "I didn't want to miss the initial years of my child's life. For two years, I gave my complete time to my son. I wanted to raise my own child and not pass on that responsibility," he says. His son is now three-and-a-half years old, and Aditya feels more comfortable being away from home, which has motivated him to resume his acting career with renewed vigor.
This balance between personal life and professional commitments reflects Aditya's thoughtful approach to his career, ensuring he remains mentally and physically prepared for the demands of television acting.
