True strength comes from within" – Arjun Bijlani on Dussehra

Arjun Bijlani, known for his role in Pyaar ka Pehla Adhyaya: Shiv Shakti, recently shared his thoughts on portraying Lord Ram in a modern-day adaptation of the Ramayana.

Expressing his admiration for the iconic character, Bijlani said: "Lord Ram embodies patience, virtue, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. In today’s world, these qualities are more important than ever."

The actor highlighted how Lord Ram’s journey teaches us to stay true to our values and have faith, especially when facing challenges. “His sense of responsibility and leadership is something I really admire and would love to portray on screen,” he added.

As Dussehra, a festival celebrating the victory of good over evil, approaches, Bijlani shared how its message resonates with his life. He spoke about overcoming his biggest challenge—balancing his professional and personal commitments. “Work has been intense, but I’ve made sure to stay organized and make time for my family. Dussehra reminds me that with determination, we can overcome anything life throws at us,” Bijlani explained.

He also emphasized that the festival teaches self-belief and standing up for what is right, even in difficult times. “It’s a reminder that true strength comes from within, and every obstacle is an opportunity to grow,” he said, adding that Dussehra inspires us to persist through challenges and trust our journey.

When asked how he balances traditional values with modern celebrations during Dussehra, Bijlani noted that it’s about blending both worlds. "I love the traditional aspects like visiting temples and watching Ravan Dahan, but I also enjoy modern gatherings with family and friends. Festivals evolve, and so can the way we celebrate them. It’s important to keep the essence alive while adapting to today’s world," he concluded.

Bijlani’s reflections serve as a reminder that the values and lessons from Lord Ram's journey are as relevant today as ever, offering timeless guidance in navigating life’s challenges.
