Sharad Malhotra wants to move on
Sharad Malhotra confirmed that he is leaving his debut show Banoo Main Teri Dulhann after three fruitful years as its lead. The actor, who will wind up with his character in the first week of May, says that he took a very long time to decide to quit. He now wants to explore new acting opportunities…but first, he's going to clean his house.
Why are you leaving?
I want to learn new things. I devoted three years of my life to this show and it has been number one and we are still struggling to make it the number one show again. But as an actor, I am always unsatisfied and I need to learn new things, work with new people. Though, I think that my producer is a great person and if I get the chance, I would like to work with him again.
Was deciding to quit tough?
Yes, it was a very tough decision for me. I thought about it twenty thousand times before coming to a final decision. But I want to take some time off for myself. The show started off in a great manner and now my character's track should end in a nice way too.
How did the production house Shakuntala react to your decision? Did they try to convince you to stay?
My production house was sad about it but they respected my decision and wished me luck in my career. I really appreciated that. They were shocked but when I explained myself, they didn't say anything.
And your costars?
It was announced that I am leaving only last week so my costars are still shocked. They are also sad about it. Initially, even my mother was not happy with my decision as she got to see me on TV everyday. But when I explained to her why I was leaving, she was happy and supported me.
With you gone, will the Dulhann soon wrap up?
No one should spread rumours about the show wrapping up because we actors and the production house are trying hard to make our show number one again. The channel has not taken any decision about the show's fate as of now.
How will your track end?
They are still working on that.
Will you miss going to the sets?
I am going to miss my show terribly. I got along well with everyone right from the director to my costars to the spot boys. The show is very dear to me as I debuted with it. When I think about my last day, meri aanken num ho jati hai.
What's next?
Right now, my mind is blank. But within a week I should get a clear picture. My first priority is to pay my bills and clean my house which I have not been able to do for a while! Then I'll look out for a new house in Mumbai. I won't be going on holiday; not even to my hometown in Kolkata.
Sharad starred as Sagar and Amar on Banoo Main Teri Dulhann. He was also a part of the reality show Cinestar Ki Khoj and dance reality Yeh Hai Jalwa.
