Substitues Or The True Heroes...
Abhishek who plays the BODY DOUBLE for Maan singh Khurana in a hit Star One show Geet-Hui Sabse Parayi
When the main lead is absent on the show due to health problems or is
off on a holiday , then what does a production house do ? Well in such
circumstances they appoint a person who can play the character but at a
distance. His height , his mannerisms , his attitude gives the viewers a
feel of the main lead always being present on the show. In the world of
Television these people are called "Body Doubles".

today introduces you another face that also plays Maan Singh Khurana. No
we are not talking about a replacement here. Gurmeet is unwell, and
hasnt been able to shoot for the last few days. The show however must go
on, and Maan is still very much a part of the daily episodes. If you
are wondering how this is possible, this is a good time for us to
introduce you all to Abhishek, that plays Gurmeet's body double in his
absence..On quizzing him about his role , his aspirations, his
contribution to such a popular show , this is what he had to say…
...
"I enjoy playing Maan Singh Khurana.MSK has become very popular and is
larger than life.My first time as the body double for MSK was when Geet
got married the second time round.In reality Gurmeetji was himself
getting married, so I stepped in his shoes and did the role. I have done
many other scenes too where Gurmeetji has been away.Off late I have
been also essaying small roles in the background of the Geet .It feels
nice to know that you are contributing something vital and show is
moving on.Gurmeet ji and Drashti both have helped me a lot in inacting a
scene.Even with Dhrasti when the seen becomes a little
uncomfortable,she completely relaxes me and help me in the shot.I would
love to continue doing MSK till I can and do a lot more too.There is a
sense of satisfaction that one is a part of such a pivotal character."
It was a sheer pleasure getting to know Abhishek and the role he
potrays . Today the body doubles have become very popular and important
to any show.The show must go on even if the main leads are not
present.Body doubles are definitely the production houses knight in
shinning armour.
