'I have a good comic timing' - Akashdeep Saigal

After achieving success as negative lead , Akashdeep Saigal is turning to comedy. His new SET show, Kuchh Iss Tarah will hit the airwaves from 19th November. This daily from Balaji stables also includes, Sudha Chandran and a host of new faces. Talking about his character, Akashdeep said that "Ranvir Nanda, is an interesting rich dude. You can't call him negative or positive. All I will say is that he, is very finicky".

What would be unique about this show? "No Saas bahu jhadga out here, thank God for that . What really attracted me toward this role was that it's something which has never been tried before on Indian television", said a proud Akashdeep.

Is this you first venture into comedy? "No, I had done similar stuff in Supari. Unfortunately my role in the films did not come out as I hoped it would . I have a very good comic timing and hope to make the audiences notice the same this time around."

Since you have a negative image, thanks to Ansh and Eklavya(Kyunki), will the audience accept you in something else? "Yes, for television is more of a habit these days. Seeing the same character day in and day out, you are bound to get used to him. And plus since I am a good actor, who gives power packed performances, this change should be a breeze", he asserted.

Coming to Kyunki, Akashdeep said, "Wait for some major suspense and twists out there . You ain't seen anything yet", he ended.
