Raj Singh Arora, last seen as Mihir, in Yeh
Hai Mohabbatein a year back, is looking to
make a big comeback.
"I am really kicked about the new content
doing the rounds, especially on the web.
There is so much new being made for Alt
Balaji, Netflix and Amazon.
"And I don't believe that sex and sleaze
are the mainstay of desi web, as many
claim. What will you say about Ekta
Kapoor's Kehne Ko Humsafar Hain then? I
loved Ronit Roy and Mona Singh's work in
this Srishti Arya production.
"As for TV, I am ready to play a 30+ father
in an urban setting; many actors shy away
from such roles. For me, the character has
to be real- may be a techie, facing the
uphill at work and at home. I regard
normal small-screen romance as pass. I
am not looking for TRP alone, but
something which challenges the actor
within.
Any chances of a YHM comeback? "I
should have, having been quite popular,
but I don't see it happening, for various
reasons. I really enjoyed the show, for it
was different. Normally, you don't see
couples fighting for the custody of a child.
It also had a very progressive, educated
story till I was around.
Among all his TV shows, Raj considers
Remix, The serial and YHM as closest to his
heart. "The above Star One show, Remix,
which has survived the test of time, saw
me essaying a slightly negative avatar. It
was a challenge playing myself in The
Serial.
Besides web and TV, Raj, who has done 7
films so far, says, "I am quite a realist,
hence prefer Indi or new age cinema. I
don't think I fit the prototype Bollywood
hero. Though I have done my fair share of
out and out commercial flicks (Gabbar Is
Back and Teri Meri Kahaani), I would like
to follow the footsteps of fellow TV actors,
Vikrant Massey and RajKumar Rao, he
ends.
