MUMBAI: Be it television, Bollywood, or any other movie industry, we see fan bases for stars and celebrities. But what most of the people miss out on is that all of these movies would be incomplete without the hard work that goes on-set and off-set by a lot of other members of the cast and those who are sometimes left unnamed. There are many actors who climbed their way up but only got recognition after doing something big. We cannot deny the fact that these shows and movies will be incomplete without the side characters.

TellyChakkar got in touch with the actor where he revealed a lot about his experiences with actors.
Tell us about the character that you’re playing in Kundali Bhagya?
My character name is Vishnu, who was hired by Arjun to torture Rishabh. We kidnapped Rishabh, got him in the truck but later Rishabh was injured a little more than required. Therefore, Arjun gets angry and fights with Vishnu and the gang. Moreover, Vishnu wasn’t even paid later. So now, my team and I are trying to chase Arjun, getting into different places and trying to ask Arjun for the payment. Sometimes we dress up as waiters or we enter the house and blackmail him. The character is negative but also very comical.
How was your experience working with the cast of the show?
These are some very good people, I must say. They are so cooperative. Shakti sir is such a humble person. I’m having an amazing time with everyone. Sameer Kulkarni, Abhishek Kumar and Aman Varpe, the directors of the show are some of the best directors I’ve ever met.
How was your first break in the industry?
My first break was in Ishq Ka Rang Safed. I have a theatre background with 20 years of experience. I’m also a chemical engineer. The place that I come from, acting wasn’t something that would ever occur to someone. My dad used to work in a company where they had a cultural department and that’s where I used to have fun and act in dramas. I used to participate in festivals also. Acting wasn’t a plan but just something that happened. I just did it because I was having fun. Meanwhile, I was also doing engineering. Around 9-10 years ago, my family and I had come to Mumbai and thought about going and checking out the film city. I met Swapnil Joshi sir in the canteen. I told him I want to become an actor and that I have experience in theatre. So I got my work there itself.
Tell us about your experience since you’ve worked in both Bollywood and TV industry. What’s the difference?
Movies are more realistic, according to the way times are going now. There is a good graph of performance. There is a difference in equipments that are used.
Which is the most memorable moment in your life?
The most memorable moment was when I got to work with Ajay Devgn sir. When I met him, I told him how big of a fan I am and that I’ve been following him since the time I had watched his film, Phool Aur Kaante. It was an emotional moment for me. Ajay sir was very happy when he heard this and he also started joking with me later on.
