Actor Ejaz Khan, famous for his cool attitude, was in the news recently due to his breakup in his personal life. At the same time, now he is in the news for his web series ‘Adrishyam: The Invisible Heroes’. Ejaz Khan has worked in many films and TV serials in his career so far. But being a TV actor, he had to struggle to work in films. Ejaz Khan was liked in the film ‘Tanu Weds Manu’. In the year 2023, he was seen in Shahrukh Khan starrer ‘Jawaan’. Now they are making waves on OTT also. During a recent meeting, Ejaz Khan made many revelations about his personal and professional life. Read:
These days, ‘Pathan’, ‘Jawan’, ‘Yoddha’, ‘Tiger’, ‘Fighter’… all are saving the country on the big screen. The situation is more or less the same on OTT also. Now in ‘Adrishyam’ you are also protecting the country. What do so many people believe is the reason for the patriotic content? Commerce or are these stories important?
Interesting question. According to me, such shows and films are being made because the audience wants to watch it. I believe that whatever is made, it is not made because we are trying to mold or change the taste of the audience in that way. So it makes sense that there is a market for it. The manufacturers certainly aren’t making these just for patriotism. They want to make a good show to make good money and the market for this thing is growing, but according to me our show does not come in that bracket, because it has undercover agents, but there is no heroism in it. You will relate to the character. You will see their shortcomings and you will also see them crying. We have tried to show his personal life also.

If ‘Jawaan’ has been mentioned then you yourself are a part of that film. How was that experience?
It was a wonderful experience. Still sometimes I think that because of this film I have been able to become a part of history. This is the biggest Hindi film. The most successful film. Still sometimes I can’t believe that I have got such opportunities and Inshallah I will continue to get such opportunities.
You started with television, then did films and now are doing OTT shows. How easy or difficult was it to switch between different mediums?
Look, different people have different thoughts. Like, when I was doing television, I was getting offers for films. I did films but they were not released because I was a TV actor. At that time it was said that who would pay Rs 200 to watch an actor in a film whom you see for free on TV and who is so over-exposed? This was the thought then. Now even in OTT casting, when I ask which actor they are casting, many times they say that we are taking only OTT actors. There are people with such thinking but this thinking will also change. There are still people who don’t think so. Hansal Mehta didn’t think like this while casting Karishma Tanna in ‘Scoop’, then every person’s thinking is different. If you are right for the character, a right casting agent will cast you. Every good actor can get good work especially on OTT.

What did you find special about your character Ravi Verma in the series?
Ravi Verma’s character is very different from my personal life. As much as I am a cool person, she is calm and tolerant, but I tried to find equality between the two. According to me both are good people. Both will not wish harm to anyone. Both are very professional in their work. What I liked about this story is that often when you make something on national issues, especially on terrorist attacks, you go into a very dark zone, but the effort of our makers was to make it entertaining, a balance. Be kept and I have not done such a thing recently. I have done a lot of intense work, serious roles, negative roles, so it was refreshing for me to go and do work every day that would make me laugh.
As an actor, have you ever set any limit for yourself that I will not do such a role?
Yes, I don’t like intimacy roles. Many times I get roles where intimacy has to be shown but I am not so comfortable with them. I have issues with that. I don’t like those characters.
Why did Ejaz Khan sit at home for 3 months before the shooting of ‘Adrishyam’? Divyanka said this about her husband
Shah Rukh Khan Jawan: Ejaz Khan told what special thing Shahrukh used to do daily on the sets of ‘Jawaan’ after the shoot.
In the series, your character goes through ups and downs in his married relationship. Nowadays even in personal life, maintaining love relationships has become complicated. How much do you agree with this?
This is a very individual thing. Only they know what happens between two people. You can’t apply this to everyone that all relationships have become complicated these days, but yes, when you are public personalities sometimes the pressure is different. Sometimes you are forced to think that people are judging you every day. The rest depends on those two people as to how they maintain their relationship. According to me, if two people are together then it is very important to have the right intention that you want to maintain that relationship.
