Article-Mahesh shetty is bad but perfectly good at it

Mumbai: Mahesh Shetty is really
good at being bad. After playing
a baddie as Sid in Bade Achche
Lagte Hai, the actor will be seen
in a negative role again on crime-
based show, Encounter. Turns
out, Mahesh loves to be hated. "I
have played a lot of grey
characters. In fact, I bump into
people who hate me for the roles
I play, but I love what I do," he
says.
Mahesh prefers a grey character
to a positive protagonist. "As the
good guy you don't have to use
your head " all you get to do is
be sweet and smile. Occasionally
make a nice face and say
dialogues like, Aap khana
khayenge?' I can't identify with
such roles. On the other hand, as
a baddie, you get to do a lot "
you get to have a different body
language and experiment with
your looks. Moreover, the
audience is like a teacher, always
ready to scold you and I like
that."
The actor, who has been a part
of Bade Achche Lagte Hai for a
while now, says that he's happy
the way the show has shaped
up.
"When you have actors like Ram
Kapoor and Sakshi Tanwar in
your show, the level of acting
automatically goes up. I have
been getting a lot of positive
feedback for my acting as well as
the show," he says.
About his upcoming show, the
actor says, "The interesting part
about Encounter is that the show
has a different take on a
gangster's life. It recreates their
life in a very challenging way."
When he isn't shooting, the actor
spends time with his family,
which is his priority. "I am not
into partying. I would rather
spend my free time at home with
family and friends or go for a
trek," he adds.
