Pratick Sejpal revealed that he stayed hungry for several days and did not even drink water to look chiselled.

Pratick Sejpal became a household name after he appeared on Bigg Boss OTT’s debut season. Now, the actor is all set to impress the audience with his charm in JioCinema’s new show, Jab Mila Tu. Set against the backdrop of Goa, the drama series explores love and friendship amid chaos. Pratick opened up about his character on the show.

Pratik Sehajpal, who plays Jigar, said, “With Jab Mila Tu, I discovered a whole new side to myself. My character keeps a perfect balance of being the Dilli ka ladka who is smart, unafraid, and someone who can be intense, and not be swayed by emotions. The essence of the chaotic love story made me say yes to the script, as I had never done something like this before. It felt challenging at first, but as the show progressed, I had the time of my life playing Jigar. Playing this role has been a joyful experience, and I can’t wait for everyone to enjoy the laughter and surprises we have in store for the show!”

“At times even I was surprised with the spontaneous performance which arose during the middle of a scene. Organically and based on my personal experiences, along with the priceless insights, ideas and vision of our great director Lalit sir and the writer cum producer Neeshith sir, Jigar came into existence. From staying hungry for 24 hours plus on several days and abstaining from even having water to look chiselled multiple times to grabbing onto the accent, body language and tone, Jigar was born. I’m as excited as everyone else is to watch the magic,” he added.

The series also features Mohsin Khan, Eisha Singh and Alisha Chopra in key roles. The show will be available to stream for free from January 22, 2024. Jab Mila Tu is a 24-episode series, with four episodes premiering every week. Directed by Lalit Mohan, created by Nisheeth Neelkanth and Harjeet Chhabra and produced by Two Nice Men, Jab Mila Tu will also be available in Tamil, Kannada and Bengali languages on the streaming platform.
