How does one play a vampire?
(Laughs) It's very, very difficult, trust me. It's such a tough job ' I have to remain expressionless the whole time! People may think that's very easy, but let them try and be poker-faced 24x7. Indian television is predominantly about being over-the-top, but from the beginning my brief from Ekta Ma'am has been: no emotions, no expressions.
When it comes to playing such unconventional characters, there is a very thin line between credible and comical. I was very scared that Abhay Raichand would degenerate into a spoof, that people would laugh at me. Even today, I do a lot of research before every episode because I don't want the character to lose the popularity that it has got in such a short time.
