Actors Monalisa and Jay Bhanushali will soon be seen in the anthology series titled "Dhappa". As the series explores the lives of five couples, the actors talk about their part in this 'modern take on love'.

We got in touch with Jay Bhanushali to know about his preparations for the characters, his plans on venturing out from hosting and more. Check out what he had to reveal:

It is a big jump from hosting to acting, were there any challenges that you faced while prepping up for the character?

In my team, there were many assistant directors from the small town. I used to observe them giving delivery of the lines and how they spoke, I took note of what all they did and performed accordingly. The look is quite simple, I even shaved for it so that fans connect to my character and don't find Jay Bhanushali. They believe in Amit and not Jay. Even when I was doing my hair, I told them that you have to make a hairstyle that connects to the common man and not something funky.

Are we planning to see you on new projects?

Currently, I am doing DID lil' Masters and have already signed for Supermoms. There are shows in the pipeline but still, nothing is confirmed. If things work out then you shall soon see me in a full-fledged show.

What is your take on the changed narratives of Television shows, how does it affect work per se 

Well, there are channels and producers who are actually bringing some different stuff on television, they don't focus on female-oriented shows, there are shows that are male-oriented too. It is always nice to try something different, we have seen how it has been safe to try what brings TRPs but I feel even if the show doesn't really work but then doing something different from all is quite thrilling. I love watching Taarak Mehta but I don't see myself doing that show, it is something very different from my personality.
