How did you make it to the television industry?
I was modeling for a couple of products. Then I did a series on Doordarshan called Aakrosh. I played the lead there. That was followed by a negative role in Bhabhi on Star Plus. Then I was offered a character in CID Special Bureau. The latest addition to the list is Sindoor on Zee TV.
'Rudra' sounds interesting. Tell us about your role in it.
Like I told you, I play Rudra. He is a slightly grey-shaded character. His mother brings him up single-handedly. She is disowned by her lover. Later, I discover that the person is quite happy in his life. I feel that my mother should get her rights. So I kind of take revenge from my
father's family.
You must be sharing a great rapport with your co-stars, especially with your wife being around.
With my better half being with me all the time, life has become easier. Besides, the people I am working with are great. They are all professionals. We all share a great rapport, as I have known most of them for some or the other reason.
Which is that one performance that you really cherish or will cherish?
I think this performance in Sindoor is my favorite and most cherished. I would cherish it for a number of reasons. This is one character that I am playing that has got variety in shades. Besides, working with one's beloved and friends is a great experience
in itself.
What are your future plans?
There are really no plans as such. I would not work on anything as of now that does not really grab my attention. I will continue acting for sure. Recently, I did this film called Uttarayan that won a national award. So I would look forward to doing classy and challenging cinema besides doing television.
