Maha Kumbh' blends elements from Hindu mythology with the international espionage thriller. Nothing like it has ever been attempted on Indian television.

We don't look at 'Maha Kumbh' as just another serial. We would like viewers to see what we see. We haven't had a game-changer on Indian television for a very long time. We hope this one will make difference to the way audiences look at the home-viewing medium.

There is no money in films, till the time you make it to a certain bracket.

Being a TV actor, I have done many roles. Working daily at times gets to you.

When doing films, ones acting skills are polished, and the actor delivers a better performance.

Love makes you do things you can never imagine.

For an actor, it's important to choose the right kind of project.

Fans come up to me to talk, shake hands, hug and click photos; I usually oblige because I can see how much they admire me.

Fan experiences are special. They make me feel that I must have done something good enough to receive so much love from so many people.

Initially, in 'Suryaputra Karn,' we tried a wig but it looked unnatural, so I grew my hair.

Just working on a character and his mannerisms, but not looking the part, is not my thing. It is your duty as an actor to be honest to the character.

I have always donned different looks going with the requirement of the roles I played.

Growing a beard is tough and not as easy as one might think.

My family has always supported me and I love spending time with them during my free time.

Once you are known, people start banking on you and see if your other projects are successful or not.

Production is not an easy game and I would want to be prepared with the right team, script, etc before getting into it.

I would love to turn producer someday but the time has to be right.

Both 'Saraswatichandra' and 'Mahakumbh' are extremely close to my heart. The shows are polar opposites and so are the characters but I have loved being a part of both of them.

The love and unwavering support I get from my admirers is the biggest compliment.

I think we forget sometimes how blessed we are to be able to help others and make a difference!

I am not a dancer. In fact, I have no formal training in dance.

If films don't work, you have to be realistic and keep taking up television projects.

An actor can never plan. You never know what can work in your favor or not and then, may be the whole dynamics can change.

There are some projects which you just can't say no to, and 'Kaal Bhairav'... is one such show.
