Male actors are merely 'patis' on TV: Mohammad Nazim

TV shows in India mostly cater to women and the 'heroes’ are conveniently sidelined.

Well, we are talking about the tall and good looking Mohammad Nazim, who has a million dollar face and a body to die for. He has become a household name with his show Saath Nibhana Saathiya (Rashmi Sharma Productions) on Star Plus.

Yes, the actor is disappointed that TV shows do not give chance to actors like him to show off their great body and acting chops. “In films, there is ample scope for actors to show off their well built body, but TV shows are strictly against it. The maximum that one can do is going shirtless. That too hardly for a few seconds. All the effort that a TV actor puts on his physique goes wasted completely," he said. 

So what was the restriction, we asked him. “To be honest, TV is a medium only catering to women and men are simply ‘patis’ on TV shows. There are not many shows that give a chance to men to perform or even share equal screen space. This is the reason I really enjoy watching Yeh Hai Mohabbatein as it gives both the leads equal footage,” said Nazim.

Talking about the kind of shows he would like to do, the actor said, “I would like to do a full-fledged action show. It’s high time we made some different and exciting shows of all genres.”

We asked him if he would like to do shows with some steamy romantic scenes. “Mil jaaye to why not (winks). As an actor, I don’t think we should have any inhibitions towards it. I would love to present a different avatar of Nazim on screen. And if I have to choose a co-star for it, it would be Katrina Kaif!" 

(Bas itni choti demand?)

We hope to see you in a sexy avatar soon, Nazim!!
