Himanshu Soni: As an actor, I am someone who ensures to do my homework

Over the last three decades, Zee TV has entertained its audience with great stories, endearing characters and shackle-breaking fiction shows that have connected with the masses. Once again, the channel is set to inspire its viewers with a fresh romantic drama, Aggar Tum Na Hote, which showcases the extent to which a nurse goes to treat her patient. The story revolves around?Niyati Mishra (essayed by Simaran Kaur), who is a young, hard-working and dedicated nurse and Abhimanyu Pandey (essayed by Himanshu Soni), who is a charming, rich and seemingly normal young man dealing with mental instability. For everyone who knows, this is the very first time the king of mythological drama - Himanshu Soni will be seen portraying a different persona for his new show, which is very far from the historical bracket.

Popular for portraying roles like Shiva and Ram in mythological shows, television actor Himanshu Soni will soon be seeing taking up a character completely different from the genre he usually prefers to be a part of. Essaying the role of an unstable person in Zee TV's Aggar Tum Na Hote will be Himanshu Soni’s first attempt at doing a fiction show without a historical or mythological touch. In the hope of changing his audience’s perception of him, Himanshu is trying his hands on a story which is highly eccentric and brings out a tough and a never seen before version of the actor. 

Himanshu Soni speaking of his character Abhimanyu in Aggar Tum Na Hote said “My character mainly speaks of a charming lovable boy who is dealing with mental instability and is tackling a difficult phase. Although it is a very intense character, I’m thrilled to portray this role which is quite a contrast from the usual roles that I have played. Essaying mythological characters like Buddha or any other similar character for that matter is not an easy process and does not give you much scope to improvise or play around with the characters since the audience is emotionally and spiritually connected to them. But with characters like these, it’s always easy to explore your acting skills and play it by the ear. Although this new role is a challenging one, I feel my experience so far has given me an understanding of how to deal with such intense characters.''

Adding further, Himanshu mentioned, “As an actor, I am someone who ensures to do my homework and rehearse my scenes well before enacting them on the floor so that viewers get to see me right in the skin of the character and I plan on following it with this role as well. I strongly believe that Aggar Tum Na Hote is the pathway to getting similar roles wherein I’ll get to traverse different personalities that would also allow the audience to see a new version of Himanshu Soni.”

While the upcoming show's promo continues to receive love and appreciation from people across the country? It will be quite interesting to see till what extent will Niyati go to treat Abhimanyu and bring him back to normalcy!
