I like doing stories with a definite start and end: Shaheer Sheikh

MUMBAI: Yeh Rishety Hain Pyaar Ke is wrapping up soon. Shaheer Sheikh, lead actor, says, “Although I knew that the show was not doing well number wise, I didn’t know that it might come to an end so soon. However, generally also I do shows for not more than a year and this show ran for more than year. I like doing stories with a definite start and end. I personally feel that a year is enough for a show and beyond that the premise of the show is lost and then they are dragged. I would not never want to be a part of an infinite show. This show also, I had signed for a year only but then later Rajan sir (Shahi, the producer of the show) convinced me to stay for two years to which I agreed. He is a great person, who understands his actors a lot. But I would not want to give more than a year to a show on TV otherwise."

The actor adds, “I would love to play a cop or do a negative character and have been wanting to do that for long. There is so much now to do even on the OTT platform. But yes I would not do something that I can not watch with my family,” he said.
