As Dr Ashutosh, his look will be quite different and interesting. He will be seen as a lean, unshaved mature man wearing rimless glasses.
"I am quite happy with the character as it is quite new and fresh. I did see Dhoop Kinare but Kuch Toh… is a lot better as it is more contemporary," said Sharad
He has already started shooting for the show and he has been having a blast.
"I have been preparing for the role. Earlier, I played a goody-goody guy, a perfect husband and then portrayed a negative character. But as Ashutosh, I will get to do something new."
So what about being compared with Mohnish? "Mohnish has done a wonderful job and he is a senior actor. Reaching up to his level of performance is difficult. But I hope I can hike up the falling TRPs of the show. Whenever I used to get time, I watched Kuch Toh..."
Sharad, all the best! We hope that you win hearts as Dr Ashutosh. His entry will be aired this Monday (12 March 2012).
