Gurmeet`s `fauji` background helped him ace RAW agent`s role

Actor Gurmeet Choudhary has shared how his father played a significant role in his preparations for a RAW agent`s character in the upcoming action series `Commander Karan Saxena`, helping him with a few training sessions on how to hold a gun and other practical aspects.

Gurmeet, who is known for playing Lord Ram in the show `Ramayan` (2008), said: "As I have always mentioned, I come from a `fauji` family so I’m very much aware of the struggles and disciplined lifestyle that come with it. Playing a RAW agent, which is a strong character, I tend to get carried away and embody that form and energy."

"To bring authenticity to this character, I drew heavily on my background and personal experiences. Additionally, my dad played a significant role in my preparations, helping me with a few training sessions on how to hold a gun and other practical aspects," Gurmeet added. The series is centered around a RAW agent unraveling a high-stakes mystery amid political intrigue and betrayal.

Also starring Iqbal Khan and Hruta Durgule in key roles, ‘Commander Karan Saxena’ will stream on Disney+ Hotstar from July 8. On the work front, Gurmeet has been a part of shows like `Kumkum-Ek Pyara Sa Bandhan`, `Geet-Hui Sabse Parayi`, and `Punar Vivaah-Zindagi Milegi Dobara`.

He also participated in shows like `Pati Patni Aur Woh`, `Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5`, `Nach Baliye Shriman v/s Shrimati`, `Nach Baliye 6`, `Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 5`, and `Box Cricket League 2`. The 40-year-old actor has been part of films like `Wajah Tum Ho`, `Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laaddoo Deewana`, `Paltan`, and `The Wife`. On the personal front, Gurmeet is married to actress Debina Bonnerjee. The couple has two daughters.
