Your character initially was more negative but it has now turned into positive. How do you feel about the change?
It's actually a long story. When I was approached for the character, the makers of the show were candid about the fact it was just going to be a cameo. The character was only supposed to be there for 10-15 episodes. They approached me because they wanted someone like me who looks very strong as well as soft from inside. But it was never meant to be a conventional character. If you have watched the show, you will know that he is very trivial. There's a mystery around him. That mysteriousness around me left a huge impact in audience's mind that they decided to make it a proper character. So it would be very unfair to typecast it saying it's a negative or positive character. It has shades of both.
