Television actor Sharad Kelkar, who is replacing Mohnish Behl in 'Kuch Toh Log Kahenge', says he won't copy the former's style and will just play the lead character of Dr. Ashutosh.

"The director thought since the character requires a certain amount of maturity so I would perfectly fit into it. But I am not stepping into Mohnish-ji's shoes. I am stepping into the character's shoes. He acted very well and was brilliant in the show. But I am not going to copy him," Kelkar said.

"I have my own style and attitude when it comes to acting. No two actors can be the same. So I hope viewers like me in my own avatar and not compare me with Mohnishji. I will try to fulfill all the requirements and expectations of people," he said.

Before shooting for the show, Sharad did a two-day workshop with other actors in the show.

"I had a meeting with the team and that time I had some prior commitments, so took some time to decide. It seemed like a challenge to me, but then I thought one should go ahead and said yes," said the actor who hails from Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh, and is an MBA in marketing.

Sharad agreed that the industry does not have many roles for senior experienced actors.

"It is a tragedy that there are not much roles for senior actors in the industry. One reason could be that they charge a lot more money😉 than the young and fresh faces that are introduced. Second, the trends in television industry. There has always been a trend that is followed. So I believe a trend will come when senior actors will play major roles," said Kelkar.

The actor best remembered for his role in the TV show 'Saat Phere' and was last seen playing the role of Digvijay Thakur in Balaji Telefilms serial 'Bairi Piya'.

Post completion of the show, Sharad had been busy with the shooting, dubbing and promotion of Marathi feature film 'Chinu', releasing March 9.

It's better if he doesn't copy MB. It'll lead to futile comparisons in which he will always come out second best because MB is such a good actor.

If he brings in his own little flavour, I think it won't be too long before most of this forum warms up to him.

Don't worry Sharad Kelkar. Mohnish Behl only had one constipated look through out. He had no style. Many times I wished that the creatives throw this character under the bus. Good they did. Now we will get to see good acting and hopefully an actual chemistry between the leads. Please keep your spouse away from the shoot and live the character. Welcome real Dr. Ashutosh.

Thanks Shamil.🤗
One question...does SK have a dimple? Im asking cos I used to love your phrase 'Dimpled doc'. 😛
And where's Sanju? She's not stil in mourning is she? Maybe I should PM her and tell her the new Doc looks just fine!

Am new to this forum mainly here to support Sharad as he is going to be part of this show soon. Though I have watched and loved this show with Mohnish must say Sharad will be a fab replacement.
He gave a brilliant performance in Bairi Piya where he was both the villain initially and then the hero. I mean I was kind of giving up this show after Mohnish but now with Sharad stepping into it I must say the it is all looking too good and I will watch the show with more passion.
I guess all fans of MB will be a tad uncomfortable to accept somebody else but mind you a few days with this new replacement and u would be glad and thanking God for this change. Sharad is that good.
Am too happy to express as words fail me to say the least. Though this is my first post hope to be in good healthy interaction with u all in the coming days.
