Acting is one of those crafts which seems effortless and accessible enough but is deviously tricky to master. And understandably so! It’s hard to figure out oneself let alone a completely different person whose skin you need to get into. Many people use acting as a form of escapism; they take refuge in the storytelling and enjoy being someone else for a while. And some do it to explore things they wouldn’t do themselves but can do as a character.
One of Shakespeare’s most famous lines is, “All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players”. Maybe we do use acting without even realising it, who knows? Archak Chhabra is a young actor who is not limited. He has starred in short films ‘Khujli’ and ‘Shunyata’. And also in the music videos of ‘Kesariya Balam by Avanti Patel’ and ‘Tore Bin by Avanti Patel’.
In more active roles he has starred in ‘Asur’- A Voot Select original in which he played the role of Aditya Jalan. But that’s not it. He’s also appeared in a feature film directed by popular director Ram Gopal Verma called ‘12 o’clock’. His trajectory has only gone upwards and we can expect him to go even higher!
Born and brought up in NTPC Dadri (about 40kms from Ghaziabad, U.P) in a township, Archak attended Amity University to pursue BSC in IT. But for him, pursuing acting isn’t mutually exclusive to other learning opportunities. Apart from acting, he also loves coding and music. His life changed when he attended a workshop by the ‘adishakti’ theatre group in Pondicherry.
He gets his motivation from self-awareness and his family and believes that it takes time for people to realise what their unique talent is.
We wish him all the best for his career and can’t wait to see him become the ‘next big thing’!
