I am trying to copy Ghanashyam Nayak's mannerisms as Nattu Kaka in my own way, says Kiran Bhatt
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah recently got a new Nattu Kaka when theatre veteran Kiran Bhatt stepped into the shoes of the character which was earlier essayed by late Ghanashyam Nayak.
The actor, who is enjoying being on screen, shares, “To play this iconic character of Nattu Kaka is a very good feeling.
I was called for the audition for this role by Asit Modi ji and the makers liked my way of doing it and so that is how I bagged it.
Asit ji ne bola you have to do the role and I couldn’t say no to him. I had met Ghanshyam ji several times in the past.
I used to tell him how good the show is not realizing that I will be a part of his show one day and would be replacing him.
The first day of the shoot was a very emotional moment for me.” Ask him if he is following the body language of the original Nattu Kaka or is he trying to bring his own flavour to the role, Kiran says, “Yeh jo Nattu ka character hai usko live rakhne ke liye I am trying to copy his mannerisms in my own way.
People used to like him a lot and so I am sticking to how he used to portray the character.”
