The only difference in Bollywood is that you shoot for a film for one month and then jump out of the character, while in TV you have to play a character for long," Mishal told IANS over phone from Mumbai.
"Television's reach is way more than films, unless you are doing a film with superstar like Salman Khan, then your reach is great," he added.

He is back with his charm and intensity on TV through a new love saga 'Ishq Ka Rang Safed'.
Set against the backdrop of culturally rich Banaras, 'Ishq Ka Rang Safed', aired on Colors channel, narrates the story of how a youth Viplav falls for a widow Dhani and how society reacts to it.
Mishal says Viplav may come across as a carefree person at first, but the role has a lot of layers to it.
"The initial part of Viplav is very light and fun. He is a carefree person, who is having lots of fun in life with his friends. I picked the role as I thought I will get something different to do. Then he falls in love and gets all intense and serious," he said.
