Mumbai, Aug 22 (IANS): Rapper Raftaar, who is set to make his acting debut with the upcoming streaming show 'Bajao', has revealed that he used to be super quiet while on the sets of the show. He wouldn't talk much in order to stay true to his character.

The rapper further mentioned that for the show, he drew a lot of references from his life.

“Things are a bit exaggerated in the show but mushkilon ka samna maine bhi kiya hai, udaas main bhi raha hoon, Masti main bhi karta hi hun, music se mujhe bahut pyaar hai hi. Toh yeh character bahut dur nahi tha mere self se (I too have faced difficulties in life, I have been sad, I do have a lot of fun and I absolutely love music so this character is very close to who I’m in real life)," he said.
