Merchant later went on to do shows with Swastik, Directors Kut and Rajshri productions. He is back with Balaji and will be seen in Imagine TV's Bandini. Yet again, he will be seen essaying a lover boy on the show.
Talking about his character, Merchant says, ''I am playing Vishal who is Dharamraj and Santo's grandson. He is a lover boy who is nice and sweet to everyone. He has been deprived of his rights as a grandson but he has no qualms about it whatsoever. It is a pleasure to be back with Balaji. I took up the show just because it's a Balaji production.''
About his lover-boy image, he quips, ''I have played all the characters right from a lover boy to an antagonist. I somehow get to play lover boy most of the times. Kya karu shakal hi aisi hai? (I have a face of a lover boy) (laughs).''
His entry is expected to air tonight on Bandini at 10:30 pm on Imagine TV.
