You are the winner of Mr India and represented India at Mr International competition. From modelling to acting, how has the transition been?
When I did my first music video, Chor Do Anchal, for Bombay Vikings, it was the first time that I faced the moving camera. Then I started training under theatre coach Raj Jagdishan and Girish Dhamija, who is a known writer.
You will be seen on TV after two years. What kept you busy during this gap?
I was shooting for a film titled Bagawat. It’s a sequel to Shudra. I am playing a Dalit freedom fighter in it. Then I shot for the web series Inspector Avinash, which went on for one-and-a- half years.
Tell us about this new show Sanjog.
Sanjog is an intense family drama showcasing the journey of two mothers — Amrita and Gauri — hailing from diverse backgrounds. I am playing Amrita’s husband Rajiv Kothari, who runs a successful jewellery business.
After doing mythological shows, this is your first family drama. What made you switch the genre?
Yes, I have played Lord Krishna on screen. In fact, I have done supernatural shows and thrillers as well. But this is my first family drama. When I heard the story, I really liked it and it is a great subject.
You are the winner of a reality show. Do you think these help boost an actor’s career?
I think it definitely gives a boost to an actor’s career, as it brings a lot of popularity.
Are you open to working on OTT? If yes, what type of show would you prefer to do?
As an actor, I love all the mediums. I have done a few shows on OTT already. If given a chance, I would like to do shows which have an Army background or something like Mirzapur. I am great with Awadhi language.
Your Instagram bio says ‘Traveller’ — what’s your favourite tourist place and why?
I love travelling. I feel travelling is the best way of rebooting yourself. My wife Pallavi, daughter Riya and I love travelling. I love to visit Rishikesh and Shimla in India, and London is my favorite international destination.
On the movie front, any upcoming project?
Bagawat is in the pipeline as of now. I am not signing any more films because I am doing this TV show.
