Mumbai (Maharashtra): Legendary lyricist Hasrat Jaipuri’s grandson, Aadil Jaipuri, recently received an award for his talent in the field of performing arts. The award was given to the actor at ‘Gems of India’, an awards night organised by Mid Day in Pattaya, Thailand.
This award came after his recent stunning performance in Wild Buffaloes Music’s music video called ‘Saajan’, which was sung by singer Ankit Tiwari. The actor has mentioned a couple of times that the music video was quite a novel idea and demanded quite a lot from him as an actor and a trained dancer as well.
Set in a dystopian world infected with a virus leading to zombie attacks, Saajan was a novel romantic music video that showcased Aadil Jaipuri and his co-actress in a different light. Produced by Wild Buffaloes Music, the music video was conceptualised and directed by the founder of the music video, Divyansh Pandit. Aadil played the role of a professional dancer, who is in love with a girl who is also a professional dancer and has just been bitten by a zombie. When the actor was approached to know his experience of essaying such a role, he said, “So there were 4 dominant emotions that I had to carry throughout the music video, love, anger, helplessness and morbid satisfaction. Now all these emotions had to be emoted through the craft of dance while maintaining emotional and technical synchronicity with my co-actress. It was not easy at all, and I feel profusely glad to have been able to pull it off. Honestly, none of this would have been as easy as it was, had Divyansh, the director, not shown the conviction and clarity that he did. So yes, that was a big boost.”
Aadil Jaipuri received the award at the hands of the business heads of Mid Day and Amruta Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis’ wife.
During his press interaction, he expressed his gratitude as he said, “I am of course, elated to be here at this stage and get recognised. I remember vividly that my grandfather would feel utmost satisfaction when the audience would laud his lyrics and not when he earned his paycheque for his craft. It is today that I understand the emotion behind his intangible source of happiness. I thank Allah and then team Wild Buffaloes and Divyansh for vesting their faith in me. I would like to extend my gratitude to my family and my peers as well, for they have been unconditional support to me. Hereon all I strive for is to keep giving the audience much more than I have and hone myself in every way possible.”
