Ssharad - Daily bhaskar - earlier skeptical of doing MP

Ssharad Malhotra will be seen as Maharana Pratap, taking over from Faisal Khan, who essayed the character so far. Ssharad became a household name with his debut show Banoo Main Teri Dulhann, but left television to pursue a film career.

About his TV comeback, Ssharad says, "I finished shooting for my film around May-June and wanted to get back to TV. I got offers, but didn't want to do a saas-bahu show. Then I thought why not a historical drama? Initially I was hesitant about Maharana Pratap, but then I started reading about him and realised what a hero he is in Rajasthan. I went with my instincts and accepted the role."

For the past three weeks, Ssharad has been training in horse riding, sword fighting and reading up on the character. "You need a certain body language, you need to look royal. The detailing in such shows is usually lacking and I'm paying attention to that. When I signed on, I asked the producer for a couple of DVDs with Faisal's episodes so I could study him and pick up the role from where he left off," he adds.

Ever since Dulhann ended, fans have wanted Ssharad and his girlfriend Divyanka Tripathi (formerly his co-star) to reunite on screen. But the actor says that won't happen in the near future. "I'm just back to TV and she's busy with Yeh Hai Mohabattein. Six years ago, things were different. But now there's so much competition. You need to grab the audience's attention. I got busy shooting for my film and now have to concentrate on my TV show," says Ssharad.

Honestly Im not liking his attitude in IVs...its offputting - skeptical of doing MP - its not like he is doing favour on us by doing this show...he should be grateful he bagged this iconic role and he has faisal as the brilliant child actor to live up to...which seems incredibly difficult right now, then he thinks detailing lacks in historical shows, I dont know about others, but contiloe shows are quite particular about getting things right...

I hope this attitude doesnt come in way of my appreciating his performance as MP...

exactly like yaar Niyati, the way he is talking abt MP, so callously...

then faisal said, sharad was style marroing on sets, I mean faisu ofcoz said it in a lighter vein...but somehow I can picture sharad just acting pricey...

severe need to humble down and ideally understand what and who he is coming in place of...
