| 'I'm not suited for saas-bahu serials' | ||
| ||
| A. I initially refused the role because of my image as comedian. But my producer convinced me to accept the offer and now I'm happy with the decision. I play Amber and Dhara's grandfather Mahendra Pratap Singh. Mahendra Pratap is a happy-go-lucky man who believes in living life to the fullest. He came to Panchgani during the British era and settled there since then. He is a proud Indian with a great British hangover, which is reflected in dressing and lifestyle. He loves Amber and Dhara and always supports them in whatever they do. | ||
