The opportunities that have opened up with the advent of OTT have made being an actor challenging and good. He is playing the role of Shubh in the movie.
It’s difficult being an actor because you don’t have time for yourself. If you work in a daily soap, you are committed to the show and everything else. I play the role according to my understanding of the character.
Maintaining my fitness routine has been a challenge for me because I can’t skip the gym or the schedule. He said that when he shoots he goes to the gym after he’s done with it.
The entertainment industry has a lot of ups and downs. There is work today but not tomorrow. He said that whenever he is free he keeps getting work offers.
He said that the response was very good. I had to shave my moustache and cut my hair. Many people like the look and want me to keep it. I do relate to the character a lot.
He said that people want to do different types of characters, but sometimes they don’t get what they want. I don’t do characters that I don’t like. If I don’t understand the character or don’t like the character, I don’t go for an auditioning. When I was summoned for Bajirao, I signed the show. I didn’t like the character so I had to let it go. He did not believe in complicating things.
