MUMBAI: Actor Zayn Ibad Khan, who plays Shiva in the streaming series "Gunaah," has described his character as a hopeless romantic. He has even gone so far as to isolate himself and refrain from using his phone for ten days to express his true emotions.
Speaking on similarities between him and his character, Zayn stated, "I think Shiva is hopelessly romantic and I think I am also the same. He is a little selfless and I think I am also selfless when it comes to my loved ones. This has been one of the toughest characters that I have played in my life."
Zayn is also well-known for his performance in "Aashiqana," went into further detail about his preparations for his role and shared, ''The emotional dilemma and the trauma that Shiva has been through was the toughest part for me. This is because if I am playing the character, I would need to do complete justice to him. So to portray these real emotions I literally isolated myself - I didn't talk to my family, I didn't use my phone, except for work purposes, for a good 10 days."
"We were doing all the emotional sequences in one go, so those 10 days were the darkest days of my life. I haven't even met eyes with the people on set because it was so challenging and emotional. I was living Shiva's pain and feeling every ounce of it. I genuinely did not speak to anyone on set except when they said roll," he added.
Actors Tanmay Nagar, Zayn Ibad Khan, Gashmeer Mahajani, and Surbhi Jyoti play key roles in 'Gunaah.' Zayn is working on the Colors TV show Suhagan Chudail, starring Nia Sharma. Disney+Hotstar is currently streaming the show, which is produced by Nissar Parvez and Alind Srivastava’s Peninsular Pictures.
