He has got type casted as the Chocolate lover boy or the intense lover. On top of that i feel he doesn't get offered the best scripts out there. So makes do with whats there. So in such a situation, considering that he is a big name in the industry, (not sure how big though) i wish he took more stand for his characters.
Both Sultan and Shahzaib were exceptional heroes (with their own flaws). But half way through the story got butchered real bad. We wouldn't be lying if we say that at this point its "danish ke liye kuch bhi" with a very sad feeling that our fav character was not made to remain its own iconic self. 💔
I personally feel he did some really good shows which did not garner that much attention. So now he is trying to balance between finding something different and doing what his audience would like.
Moreover I think he is aware that his fan base is younger than most actors. I mean the guy is nearly 40 but can pass for late 20s! You cannot really cast him in mature love stories opposite heroines his age because he only does not look his age. 😆 Its kind of the Ian Somerhalder situation where he was 31, but playing a 24-year old in TVD...and now he's also 40+ but doesn't look like it.
For an actor its important to maintain your existing fan base and only add to it. That's why he does love stories, because that's how we want to see him. However he has been choosing shows which has family troubles going on in them too, so that the older groups also watch.
Danish seems to be aware of what I call "Tumblr kinks" a.k.a rich, stylish guy with intensity that will take your breath away, the bad boy with a bit of Yandere qualities. This is the ultimate fantasy come to life. Shahzaib also qualifies for this even though he is not a villain. Girls have a thing for such characters.
