Mohan Galla inspired from Mahatma Gandhi : Harshad Chopra


Harshad Chopra, who is essaying the lead role in NDTV Imagine's "Dharampatni", admits that his character, Mohan Galla, has "slight inspiration" from the life of Mahatma Gandhi, but says it is not based on his life.

Dharampatni' is not about Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, it's not about Kasturba Gandhi. It's about Mohan Galla and Kastur. There is a slight inspiration in the fact that Mohan grows up to be a man who brings about social changes in his country, like Gandhi.

The initial buzz around the Imagine TV show, which will go on air Aug 16, was built by rumours of it being based on Gandhi and Kasturba's life.

The problem is that when we say a show is loosely inspired from someone's life, people always forget the 'loosely'. They only remember that it is inspired from somewhere and draw parallels. That's what's happening with the show.

Harshad's character Mohan is a a foreign educated man, who hardly cares about Indian culture until he is sensitised by situations in his own country upon his return. He also meets a girl, Kastur, (played by actress Aasiya Kazi), who is cheerful, optimistic, and grounded in her culture.

The story rings a bell! It takes you back to Shah Rukh Khan-starrer "Swades", but Harshad says the show has no hints from that movie.
