Currently seen as Krishnadas Chundawat on Sony TV's popular historical show 'Bharat Ka Veer Putra - Maharana Pratap', actor Shaize Kazmi has come a long way in this industry.

Earlier seen in episodic shows such as 'Savdhaan India - India Fights Back' (Life OK) and 'Crime Patrol' (Sony TV) Shaiza aspired to take up a good show and after many auditions and rejections, he finally bagged the daily soap which has now turned into a good platform for him to progress in his career.

Expressing his thoughts on the same, Shaize said, "Prior to acting, I worked as an LIC agent in Lucknow and had an inclination towards acting. People encouraged me and I came to Mumbai in 2010. I have faced a lot of struggle as here there are people who cast actors on the basis of their physical attributes and not talent."

Having worked with Yash Raj Films on a digital movie the actor aims at taking a bigger leap to doing films. While he recently shot 'Haunted Rooh', a film produced by Royal Fame Production World, Shaize aspires to do substantial roles in future.

He averred, "I want to essay characters which have substance. Even if I am playing a sidekick role, I should have a parallel story-line running. I always tell people that I do not know what kind of roles I want to do but I know what roles I do not want to take up."

Well said Shaize!
