Ashish Sharma returns!

The actor will now be seen as Lord Ram in the upcoming show, 'Siya Ke Ram'

Mumbai: Ashish Sharma, who played a border security force officer in 'Rangrasiya', will now be seen as Lord Ram in the upcoming show, 'Siya Ke Ram'. Ashish reveals that he has worked hard to perfect his portrayal. He says, “For me, the physicality of the character is of utmost importance. I need to stay true to the character I am portraying. With Ram, I thought it was necessary to have a calm face, and it was necessary for me to bring forth those attributes. When we look at Ram, people forget that he was a warrior prince before he became God. Having trained in archery in a gurukul, he is bound to have a strong body language so I have tried to incorporate these aspects in my role.”

The telly actor may have won 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa', but Ashish says reality shows aren’t for him. He says, “I won that show only because of my dancing skills; I was a flop for the reality part of it. I couldn’t give them any exciting content.”

Has Ashish, who previously featured in Dibakar Banerjee’s 'Love Sex Aur Dhokha', found his comfort zone in TV now? He says, “For me, movies, TV and theatre are all the same — I want to explore all mediums. Today the reach of TV is way bigger than cinema. Even top actors in cinema came back to TV for six months of the year — be it Amitabh Bachchan, Karan Johar or Aamir Khan. When these stars realise the importance of TV, why won’t TV actors understand it? I’m not dying to do a film, if I get something exciting I will do it for free because I’ve made enough money on TV. An anti-hero character would be exciting, something like Ek Villain or Haider.”
