From the Tabbar to an intense gray character in ‘Khauf,’ Gagan Arora stuns with his versatility!

Mumbai, April 2025: From the endearing, ideal boyfriend Bagga in College Romance to a complex, chilling character in Khauf, Gagan Arora has proven that his acting chops are as versatile as they are powerful. With Khauf, he steps into uncharted territory, not just for his career, but for his conscience.

“Khauf was an extremely different adventure. I had never done anything like this before — in fact, I was scared. Scared of how people would react, scared of how I’d process the darkness of Nakul.”

Gagan’s portrayal of Nakul is more than just a role; it’s a psychological deep dive into the unsettling corners of society, and self.

The psychological toll of living inside Nakul’s head was far from easy. Gagan shares how the darkness seeped beyond set hours.

“There were days I couldn’t speak to my wife after pack-up. I couldn’t even sleep next to her. It wasn’t some method acting gimmick, it’s just that when you start believing in a character’s warped logic for too long, your own mind starts pushing back.”

With ‘Tabbar,’ ‘The Fame Game,’ ‘College Romance,’ and now ‘Khauf,’ Gagan Arora not only reinvents his screen identity, but impresses the audience in each role. And that, perhaps, is the truest measure of artistic success.
