Ashish Sharma of Rangarasya.
Mumbai: Unlike Bollywood, where newcomers really have to struggle to get a break, in television it's the established stars who find it difficult to get lead roles because when it comes to soaps, producers and directors always prefer to go with new faces. In order to tackle their short reign, many actors are turning producers.
Ashish Sharma, the male lead of the hit show Rangrasiya, is one of the hottest men on small screen, but instead of basking in his success, he is branching out to producing serials.
Ashish, who even directs a few parts of his own show to gain experience, says, "Yes, I have been directing a few episodes with the permission of my director. Apart from this, I have also produced a Rajasthani serial."
He says that he enjoys acting, directing and producing and believes that it helps one become a better actor when one is familiar with the technical nuances that go on behind the camera.
Before Rangrasiya, Aashish didn't enjoy super star status as an actor on TV, but he was busy directing and producing shows. "I have directed a digital show on MTV called Saturday Nights," he says, adding, "I am also producing a Rajasthani film, Chore Tera Gaon Bada Pyara. The story is from a girl's point of view."
