Actor Arvind Swami, popular for films like Roja and Bombay , says he was a private person and hence stardom stifled him.
Arvind, who made his Bollywood debut with Mani Ratnam’s 1992 film Roja , is returning to the Hindi film world with debutante director Tanuj Bhramar’s upcoming film Dear Dad, a coming of age story, involving 14 year old Shivam and his 45 year old father Nitin Swaminathan. Arvind said: “I had started when I was 20 years old. I didn’t know how stardom would be like. Stardom and adulation that came in, kind of stifled me. I was a private person so, this stardom kind of stifled me and I wanted to get out of that for some time. I wanted to step out of that and do all the things that I wanted to do.”
Arvind, who has ruled the southern film industry for a long time, says he didn’t want to be a star. He said: “I just wanted to be an actor so, I moved away only because of that. Now, I can look back and analyse it. And today I feel I can deal with it much better. Those days, I was too young I could not deal with it properly.” Arvind, father of two children, says parenting is the most difficult job. “I have been parenting them for the last 10 years. The most difficult job is parenting because there is no perfect way to follow it. You have to deal with different situations and challenges.” the 45 year old said.
