India, Oct. 2 -- Few actors have consistently embodied Mahatma Gandhi as Pratik Gandhi has, across both stage and screen. The 45-year-old has portrayed the 'Father of the Nation' for years on stage and even has a web series coming up, titled Gandhi, in which he plays the role. And to add to the coincidence, he is also performing a stage play today on Gandhi Jayanti, where he plays him yet again. The actor believes it was destined: "Me playing Gandhi was written the day I was born in a Gandhi family. It has been an extremely important, poignant, and rewarding experience in itself." He says, "Gandhi is more relevant in these times than he was ever before for the whole world. We need over a thousand 'Gandhis' in this world today, considering everything that we see. And what a coincidence it is that this year, Gandhi Jayanti is on the day of Dussehra. There are so many ravanas that we need to burn and kill within ourselves with the Gandhian approach." Ask if Pratik himself imbibed any qualities from Mahatma Gandhi's life, and he is quick to respond: simplicity and self-belief. "Achieving simplicity in today's complex and hyperdigital world, is a virtue and a privilege to a lot of people. Gandhi ji also said that true strength does not come from physical power, it comes from indomitable will. After performing the character for a long time, I actually understand where it comes from," he shares....
