The on screen baddie Akashh Deep Saigal is dancing to a different tune these days. Literally. He will be seen shaking a leg in Sharon Prabhakar's new music video Dilruba. So, what made him do the song? "It's not the first time I'm doing a music video," says the television actor. "But I thought it will be a refreshing break from the daily soaps, since I've not done a video in almost five years now." Does he do some crazy dance moves in the video? "It's a nice song, which was why I primarily agreed to do it. The video is more like a dream sequence; Sharon is the diva, the fantasy woman. But the visual effects are phenomenal, it's a completely futuristic video," says Akashh. Ask whether he prefers doing music videos to television soaps and Akashh admits it's a refreshing change. "A daily soap is a day in and day out routine, it's also very hectic. You're on the job 24-7. A music video is more chilled out; everything is taken care of, all you have to do is pose in front of the camera! Besides, there are no dialogues to be learnt!" laughs Akashh. And is there any particular artiste whose video he'd want to feature in some day? "Oh, it would have to be Shakira!" smiles Akashh.
