MUMBAI: Guddan Tumse Na Ho Paayega is currently one of the most popular television shows. The show features Nishant Malkani in the role of Akshat Jindal. The actor never goes to the set without a foot stool.
Wondering why? Well, the actor who has a height of 6.2 is too tall for his co-actors, and that makes them stand on the stool while shooting with him. In an interview with Bombay Times, Nishant said, “The first thing people notice about me is my height. Many tell me that they feel tiny around me. However, they find it surprising that I don’t look that tall on screen. How do I tell them that it is all about the camera angles and also, that most of my co-actors stand on a stool while shooting with me. The challenge is not for me, but for my co-actors, the DoP and cameraman. Besides, Kanika Mann and Dalljiet Kaur, who have to stand on the stool while shooting with me.”
Agreeing to Nishant, Dalljiet mentioned, “I'm 5’7” and most of my co-stars have been of the same height. However, it is different shooting with Nishant. On the first day, I had to shoot a romantic scene with him, but it looked weird as he is quite tall. So, I was given a small stool to stand on. This has happened for the first time in my career. Shooting with Nishant leads to hilarious situations off screen.”
