I'm overwhelmed with the positive feedback: Aashish K N Mehrotra

MUMBAI: Rajan and Deepa Shahi’s show Anupamaa is doing well and the emotional track between the characters are striking the right chord with the audience. Recently the track with the eldest son of the Shah family Paritosh (Aashish K N  Mehrotra) and his parents Vanraj and Anupamaa ( Sudhanshu Pandey and Rupali Ganguly) has been the emotional high point. Speaking of which actor Aashish K N  Mehrotra says,” Firstly my sincere thanks and gratitude to all the fans and well-wishers of Anupamaa and to all our family members, friends and extended family who has been showering so much love on us. It means a lot. I can’t tell you how grateful the whole team of Anupamaa is. Paritosh is a character who walks on the thin line. He is irritated with what's happening in his life ans he is overlooking his family. He is not used to handling so much pressure and he is not completely wrong either. My producer Rajan Shahi and director Romesh Kalra have been guiding me very well. With their help, I'm being able to work on the smallest details as well.”

Speaking of the emotionally charged scenes Aashish adds,”It takes a toll on your health while doing an emotional scene, especially for the actors who are method actors. That is where I come from. I like deriving my emotions from within me. It is really challenging and I am so tired after I get back home. Instead of working out I just do a small session of stretches. And next morning I am fresh again. I want to give my best to the show. I'm overwhelmed with the positive feedback on Paritosh Shah.” 

How will you sum up your experience working with your on-screen parents Sudhanshu Pandey and Rupali Ganguly? “I have started admiring them from the very first day when I shot my first promo with Rupali Maa’m. They both are giving back so much to their costars. Every scene is being executed so well.I would say the experience is mind boggling and a wonderful feeling. Sudhanshu Sir is so crisp with his performance - his eyes speak. With Rupali Maa’m she knows how to execute to perfection. I am learning every day from them.” When asked about his own parents Aashish gets emotional and says,”I am grateful to them for supporting me. I come from a middle-class family and they have been with me in my journey for the last eight years in Mumbai. Like any other child, they are my inspiration, my idol. My father has earned a lot of respect in his life and that’s what I am looking for in my life and career. They have always watched my show in the past, Anupamaa is also the same. They are loving my track and have always dreamt about me performing in front of the camera. They actually see the telecast and my mother calls me every morning to find out what will happen next to Paritosh.”
