Nirbhay Wadhwa, known for his iconic role as Hanuman in Sankatmochan Mahabali Hanuman, has captured the hearts of millions with his powerful portrayal of the beloved character. But there’s more to this popular television actor than his on-screen persona. In an exclusive conversation with BollywoodMDB, Nirbhay revealed his deep passion for animals, showcasing another side of his personality.
Nirbhay Wadhwa: A Man of Many Talents
Apart from his famous role as Hanuman, Nirbhay has made his mark in the entertainment industry with various roles, including playing the villain Dushasana in Mahabharat on Star Plus and Kaalasur in Qayamat Ki Raat. Hailing from Jaipur, Nirbhay’s journey in the entertainment world has been a result of sheer dedication and hard work. He’s not only an actor but also an active social worker, working with the Help in Suffering NGO in Jaipur.
Gratitude for Hanuman and His Impact on Nirbhay’s Life
In his conversation with BollywoodMDB, Nirbhay expressed his gratitude for the love and admiration he’s received for his portrayal of Lord Hanuman. “I am incredibly grateful for the love and respect from the public. Many people see Lord Hanuman in me, which is humbling,” he shared. However, he also admitted that at times, the reverence he receives from older individuals makes him uncomfortable. “Sometimes, when people touch my feet, I feel like I’m just like anyone else. I don’t feel worthy of such respect because, as a human, I know I must have done something wrong at some point,” he confessed.
The actor also discussed how playing Hanuman has helped him become a more thoughtful person. “Since portraying Hanuman, I’ve become softer in my speech. I’ve learned the importance of language and how it shapes you as a person. For instance, if someone damages my car, I don’t confront them, because I’ve learned to avoid unnecessary conflict and to be considerate towards others,” he added.
Nirbhay Wadhwa’s Love for Animals
Nirbhay’s passion for animals is another side of him that fans might not be familiar with. He is a proud pet parent to four dogs, including a street dog he rescued while working on Sankatmochan Mahabali Hanuman. He recalled how he found the dog playing in the rain and decided to bring it home, giving it a loving environment. Along with his dogs, Nirbhay also keeps tortoises as pets, with all necessary legal documentation. His fish tank is home to five shark fish, which he added when they were small.
The Actor’s Physical Transformation and Success
Nirbhay also reflected on how his physical appearance has contributed to his success in the industry. His chiselled figure, he believes, has played a significant role in helping him land prominent acting roles. “People appreciate my physique, and I believe it’s one of the reasons I’ve been able to secure good parts,” he explained.
With his deep love for animals and a commitment to his craft, Nirbhay Wadhwa continues to inspire both on and off the screen.
