| Most actors prefer to play safe by doing only socially acceptable roles. But some actors really go out of their way to play characters that carry social stigma. Well, ex-newsreader-turned-actor Sachin Sharma doesn't have any problem playing an impotent husband who hid his physiological sexual inadequacy from his would-be-wife only to confess the same to her after marriage. He didn't even hesitate or think twice before accepting the role simply because he took it as a golden opportunity to play a daringly different role. "I don't have any apprehensions in playing an impotent husband," admits Sachin. "It's an excellent role and such roles rarely come your way. It has given me a lot of freedom to portray a variety of shades and emotions." Aryan Jaisingh, son and heir of a business tycoon is determined not to leave his wife, come what may. "He wants his wife to be known as Vaidehi Aryan Jaisingh. And he will go to any length to keep Vaidehi as his wife. As the story progresses the character will acquire many more shades," reveals the actor who feels impotency should not be treated as a taboo subject anymore. The actor feels very strongly about bringing the problem of impotency to light. He says, "Aren't we talking about AIDS and HIV very openly? Isn't a massive campaign going around to create awareness about AIDS and HIV virus? When people are being told to have safe sex and have one sex partner why should we shy away from talking about impotency. Like AIDS impotency is also a disease. It's good that Vaidehi is dealing with the subject without beating around the bush." Talking about his character Sachin says Aryan is a complex character. "He is a nice son who is in awe of his father. He shares a positive bond with his father. But with mother his relationship is negative. As a woman and a mother she is too emotional and emotions have no place in Aryan's life. To the outside world he is a dignified man, a good son and good husband. He is very nice to Vaidehi and the world knows her as Aryan's wife. But in the bedroom there is a clash between the two." The various shades to the complex character will unveil as the plot thickens. "Aryan is an arrogant and a very negative man. But so far the negative trait of his personality has not been explored," he adds. A lot of drama is waiting to explode. "A lot of things are going to happen in the family and every character will go through his or her own agnipariksha. And Aryan will go from a negative to a totally black character. He will be like a stone, without any feelings. He won't care for anyone. He will come out as a completely self-centered and ruthless man. He won't let Vaidehi go from his house and out of the marriage," says the actor adding that he has got lots of positive response for the role. "Touchwood, people have appreciated and accepted me in the role. The response has been tremendous. I take it as great support to the hard work I am putting in." Ask him about Manav Gohil's entry in the serial as Neel who will be another surprise element in the show in coming weeks Sachin says, "He belongs to the family. He was brought up by Jaisingh." But refuses to elaborate any further. |
