Rahul Bajaj emphasizes that while looks matter, embracing individuality and authenticity is what truly resonates in today’s entertainment landscape.
He believes a character’s appearance should enhance the story, not overshadow it.
In today’s entertainment industry, where looks have often taken center stage, actor Rahul Bajaj offers a refreshing perspective on the importance of individuality and authenticity.
Currently seen as Bipin in Prateek Sharma and Parth Shah’s Studio LSD’s, Tumm Se Tumm Tak, he believes that while appearance still holds some relevance, the true value lies in staying true to oneself.
Reflecting on the evolving standards of beauty in showbiz, Rahul Bajaj explains,
“Looks will probably always matter to some extent in showbiz, but I feel the pressure has shifted rather than reduced. Earlier, there was one ideal—fair, slim, conventional beauty. Now, the pressure is more about fitting the vibe or the character’s priorities.”
He emphasises that although expectations remain high, there is now greater acceptance of individuality and realness. “Being the original version of yourself is more important, according to me,” Rahul Bajaj adds.
Rahul Bajaj also addresses the significance of how a character’s appearance can shape their impact. He says, “Certain characters are meant to portray power, charm, or aspiration, and their styling becomes part of that storytelling.”
This highlights that looks should serve the story and not just superficial standards.
When asked if he would be willing to experiment with his look to better embody a role, Rahul Bajaj enthusiastically affirms this.
“I believe a look can completely transform how a character feels, not just to the audience but to me as an actor, too. Whether it’s cutting my hair, changing my style, or even toning down the glamour for a raw role, I see it as part of my job to adapt to what the character demands or how the creator envisions it so long as it serves the story,” he concludes.
