CHETAN A.K. JANGID

Mentor Profile-:

Theatre Practitioner

My journey in theatre began with my debut performance in Samuel Beckett’s Endgame, directed by my first mentor, the esteemed veteran theatre director Mr. Deepak Pareek. Under his guidance, I was introduced to the depth and discipline of stagecraft, which laid a strong foundation for my growth as an artist.

Following this, I had the opportunity to perform in several plays in rajasthan and other states . Those productions gave me the chance to showcase my work at various theatre festivals across Rajasthan, with numerous live performances in cities including Jaipur, Bhilwara, and Bikaner and other cities.

During this period, I also assisted in conducting drama workshops in Jaipur-based colleges alongside Mr. Pareek. This experience not only enhanced my understanding of theatre but also helped me develop skills in directing and assisting, which became an integral part of my artistic journey.

I further deepened my knowledge by attending an acting workshop under the guidance of the late Mr. Alok Chatterjee, where I focused on acting techniques, voice modulation, and stage presence.

I then moved to Mumbai to pursue a professional acting course under Mr. Barry John. This experience was transformative, allowing me to dive into the world of camera acting, film performance, and direction. During my time at the institute, I acted in several short films and worked on improvisation, further expanding my versatility as an actor.

Alongside formal training, I also consider myself a self-learner. I’ve spent countless hours watching and analyzing great films and reading acting books — for me, cinema is also an institute. Observing the craft of legendary performers and directors has been a huge part of my growth and inspiration as an actor.

In addition to my artistic development, I am grateful to have the guidance of Saurabh Jain, a mentor who has been instrumental in helping me navigate both my personal and professional life. His wisdom on various subjects, including emotional intelligence, and self-growth, has profoundly shaped the way I approach my craft and life in general.
