You have done a few roles in historical and mythological shows before, what made you take up this show?

I take it as a blessing, I played Krishna back in 2011. Whatever roles I have played had stories based on Lord Shiva, Krishna, Ram and Hanuman. Whenever such shows are made, I get offers for the roles and I take it as a blessing. I had previously been offered Lord Shiva's character as well. I am playing this kind of role for the 6th time. 

You played Lord Vishnu's character in Paramavatar Shree Krishna and in Garud too you are playing the same character, how different is it for you to play the same role this time?

As you grow older, you become a bit wiser and get to understand things better. You tend to emote it differently. I was 23 to 24 years old when I played Krishna for the first time. So, my understanding at that time was different than what it is now. I have read so much about Krishna and all the roles I played so far. So, my understanding of the character is evolving with time. 

Do you fear getting typecast for playing mythological characters?

No, not really. I am doing web shows for two popular platforms. So, it's not that I am just portraying these kinds of roles. But I keep getting offers for mythological shows quite often. I can't say no to it until and unless I really don't have time for it. Otherwise, I take it as a blessing when I am offered such roles. People remember you for doing such roles for a very long time which is not the case with the characters you play in a regular soap opera.
