MUMBAI: Mohammad Nazim, who is best known as Ahem of Saath Nibhaana Saathiya, has been roped in to play the new antagonist on Roop. The actor, who played the quintessential hero — a doting husband and son — on Saathiya, has no qualms turning negative on TV.

He shares, “Whether an actor plays a negative role or positive role on TV, it is of no consequence anymore. Besides, there’s not much scope to perform in the positive space. I did that for eight years on Saathiya as Ahem. Negative characters are more challenging; they allow you to showcase your graph as an actor. I want to slot myself as a good actor, who can perform any part. Today, people are finding it difficult to get work. You need to be seen to get more work.”
