00:00In this way, I was tired of doing sweet roles.
00:05When I went to a negative role, the directors told me that I didn't like it.
00:09How can we cast you?
00:11In the regional films, there was a lot of challenge because
00:14you have to understand the language,
00:16you have to learn a little mastery of your language.
00:19You don't have to learn your language.
00:21Raksha Kumar goes to the world with how many stunts they do.
00:24So if Raksha Kumar is doing it, it's a very good thing for the show.
00:30This director, his name is Vijay Agarwal.
00:34This is an NRI from India.
00:38At this time, the character of Aditi,
00:42who is a girl who says that he is a son of Parvati,
00:48there is a connection with this character.
00:51What is the connection you will always know.
00:54It will continue to grow.
00:57There is also a connection with his family.
01:01So this character is something like that
01:02it will slowly reveal itself.
01:04There are layers in this character.
01:06After that, it will also be released.
01:07You have seen such a character in Kum Kum.
01:10When you love Kum Kum and that is the sequence of the college.
01:15Is it something similar to that character?
01:18No, it is a character of Kum Kum.
01:21He was a straight forward, stark negative character.
01:26He didn't have anything hidden in it.
01:30He was an obsessed lover.
01:32He was a genuine man who loves Kum Kum.
01:35This character is not such a character.
01:38There are some grey shades.
01:39He will not reveal itself so quickly.
01:41He will not know what he wants.
01:46In this character, it is not about your character.
01:49Yes.
01:50So, does it have a role in this character?
01:52Is it negative or positive?
01:54This character is very difficult.
01:57How much of this character is negative.
01:59When it is negative, when it is not negative,
02:01when it is positive.
02:02This character is something that will make this character interesting.
02:06When you set your career in the beginning,
02:09you were very cute looking at the boy.
02:12And you have made an anti-hero type.
02:15How does your fans feel?
02:17What kind of experience you have to do with that?
02:20I have no idea of my fans.
02:23But it is a bizarre thing.
02:26With the age of age, you have to progress.
02:28Now, I am 38 now.
02:31So, at 38, I can't look like a college boy.
02:34Who is dancing around with young women.
02:37I don't like it.
02:38I find it very frivolous.
02:40I don't like it.
02:41I don't like it from inside.
02:42And in that sense,
02:45I was a bit tired of doing sweet roles.
02:49Because I remember that when I went to a negative role,
02:53the directors would say,
02:54I don't like it.
02:55How can we cast you?
02:57Now, I am growing a little.
03:00I am growing a little.
03:01The majority of the show is now.
03:02So,
03:03I think that now,
03:04the directors would not be able to do the roles.
03:06What was your comeback with Kumpumar and Aldham.
03:11What do you think about TV planning on TV?
03:15Actually, I didn't have a comeback on TV. I had a comeback on daily soaps after 2 years.
03:20I don't think that if you don't have a daily soap, then it doesn't have a comeback.
03:25Before I had a daily soap on K-Street Pali Hill.
03:28After that, I hosted a Fair Factor, a reality show.
03:32So, I didn't have a daily soaps after 1-2 years.
03:35Then, when the road came to Kum Kum, I felt really interesting.
03:39Because there was a one-character-centered track.
03:45When it was there, the whole story came across.
03:49So, I liked it.
03:51So, in the story, do you feel like this?
03:54Yes, it will feel like this, but it will feel a little different.
03:57So, do you feel like this cameo?
04:00Is it a short or long road?
04:04Yes, it is a cameo.
04:06It is a little bit short, but it is a little bit short.
04:09It is not so small.
04:11This series is a very popular series.
04:13I have a lot of fans.
04:15So, when you have a character in the community,
04:17what do you feel like this story?
04:19You will enjoy it and you will enjoy it?
04:23Do you feel like it is not a complete experience?
04:27It is a good story, but it is a bad story.
04:32It is a risk that every production has a channel.
04:35To incorporate a new twist, a new plot in the drama.
04:39Sometimes, it works.
04:41Sometimes, it increases TRP.
04:42If it increases, it is good.
04:43Sometimes, it doesn't increase.
04:44Then, the track will culminate.
04:46Do you have any series of upcoming series?
04:49Do you have any films?
04:50Do you have any series?
04:51I have a series for Sony Television.
04:52His name is Arsalan.
04:54I am also a negative role.
04:56The character's name is Zaghfar.

05:28Or do you like to play in your Hollywood film?
05:30Look, there is no such thing.
05:32In regional films, there are a lot of challenges.
05:36In regional films, there is a lot of challenges.
05:38You have to understand the language.
05:40You have to learn the language.

07:06If you have a video, what do you do?
07:10Because Fear Factor 1, when you have hosted,
07:12people like you, and you have anchoring,
07:15and you have hosted.
07:16Yes, yes.
07:17So, Fear Factor 2, why do you do not?
07:19Fear Factor 2, I think, is doing Akshay Kumar.
07:21I am doing it.
07:22But, that's not confirmed.
07:24That's not confirmed.
07:25I didn't know.
07:26I didn't call Fear Factor 2.
07:28If I call it, I will do it.
07:30What do you think about Akshay Kumar?
07:34I feel like they are made for this show.
07:36Because Akshay Kumar is doing so many stunts in the world.
07:39So, if Akshay Kumar is doing it,
07:41it's a very good thing for the show.
07:43And, I mean, that's the fact that
07:46he has got his place in the right place.
07:48Thank you, Munkar.
07:50Thanks a lot.
