  \
• That is somewhat the story of your first film Raaz Reboot. What difference can we expect here?
  No, not at all. Raaz didn’t really do that well. After that, the four years that I had, I sat in my house and thought about what I would do next. The only thing I did is work on my craft. I did Asur and now the second season is coming. We also have Aadha Ishq. It’s such varied characters. When I talk about two time zones, I’m actually fortunate to play the character of Saahir because he goes through a massive transition. I haven’t done that in my past and an actor really looks for a part like this because there’s a huge transformation in him. I had to lose weight when I was playing another timeline. The body language had to be different. There’s beard and longer hair. There’s been physical and emotional transformation.”

• After making your debut in films, you are now making waves on OTT. Would you say it has given you another opportunity to put yourself out there?
  Not just me, everyone associated with the creative field – be it directors, writers, technicians, actors. We’ve got this new technology we enjoy and love it. Just a few years ago, there was TV and theatre. In between, there was nothing for us. TV has a very limited audience and then, theatres. So, in between there was a huge gap that was missing. I just feel that with this, it has given an opportunity to all of us.”

If you go by the one-liner of this show, it’s where mother and daughter fall in love with the same man. There were days when I had scenes with both Aamna Sharif and Pratibha Ranta back to back, and I had to transition through a span of ten years in a couple of minutes. Since the show has two timelines running parallel, it wasn’t just a mental transition that I had to go through, but physically I had to put on weight for the later timeline as well.”

When asked about what made him take up Aadha Ishq?, he replie,I have already done Asura for Voot select, and while I was shooting for the second season of this show I got a call from the authorities again with an offer for Aadha ishq. I got all the way more intrigued after listening to the one liner of this show as I believe it aptly represents the contemporary complexities of relationships in our times. However, it also has an old school charm to it with poetry, paintings and mountains being an integral part of the plot.”

It was challenging yet exciting to understand and step into the shoes of a person’s life across ten years.”
