You quit the show because you were now satisfied with the
way your character was was shaping up, then what made you
come back to Kaisi Yeh Yaariyan now?
I left the show because my character was turning too
negative for my liking. I had a word with the creatives, but
they told me that they will have to continue with the
negativity. In fact, they were going to make my character
more negative. I was not very happy with it coz when I
signed on for the show, they told me that my character
would be grey shaded, but it was becoming extremely
negative. I got a call from the creatives, 15 days back about
bringing Harshad back in the show. So they offered me the
role again. I had a long discussion with the team on how my
track would be in after my return; they told me that it will
be really good this time. So they wanted me to come back.
Actually it's not just that, people have been missing my
character in the show. I have been getting messages on
Twitter and Instagram asking when I'll return and things
like that. So I've mainly come back for them.
Now that you have come back, is the character going to be
negative, positive or grey?
See that is something I cannot reveal as of now. Today
they've shown my entry as I save Manik from goons. He is
very positive for now. They are going to now reveal as to why
my character hates the Fab 5, and the reason behind
Harshad's hatred for Manik (Parth Samthaan) and Dhruv
(Utkarsh Gupta), considering they were friends as kids. They
will concentrate on this mystery first. Secondly, Harshad will
also be caught between Navya (Veebha Anand) and Mukti
(Charlie Chauhan) and he will have to make a choice. It's
going to be exciting.
How does it feel coming back on the show?
It feels extremely great to be back on the sets of Kaisi Yeh
Yaariyan. People who are following me on Twitter and
Instagram are also extremely excited with my return to the
show. They've loved the entry and I hope they continue to
love what I do in the show.
You've also signed up as the ideal guy on the new show
Bhagyalaxmi (&TV), what is more challenging playing a
positive or negative role?
See I have a hang of playing Harshad because I've been
doing that from day one. Getting into that character was
very easy for me because I am a little like Harshad. But
playing the character in Bhagyalaxmi was a little difficult
because as Abhishek I am a Casanova kind of person, so
doing a role that's completely opposite of what I am is more
difficult than playing Harshad.
