In the glittering world of Mumbai entertainment, Mihir Ahuja opens up about the silent challenges of his role in the newly released ‘Shabd – Rit aur Rivaaj’. Playing Ghuppi Singh, a teenager crippled by stammering, Mihir finds dialogue-free acting to be the pinnacle of performance art.
‘Silence isn’t empty; it’s profound,’ he told us candidly. Actors often chase the spotlight through eloquent speeches, but Mihir believes the unspoken steals the show. ‘Dialogues are just the surface. The subtext – those swirling emotions and intentions – truly captivates when no words are spoken. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s riveting.’
The story dives into Ghuppi’s turmoil: a famous bhajan singer father pushing devotional traditions, while the son yearns for the soccer field. This poignant clash of generations and dreams forms the heart of the series, handled with nuance and grace.
Mihir and co-actor Suvinder Vicky praised the production’s collaborative spirit. Layers of emotion drive the plot, touching on bonds, beliefs, aspirations, and societal strains. It’s a tale designed to connect with viewers everywhere, transcending cultural boundaries.
With a portfolio boasting Super 30, The Archies, and Mission Over Mars, Mihir continues to redefine young talent in Indian cinema, one silent scene at a time.
