'I believe in supernatural element' - Pankaj Singh Tiwari

Pankaj Singh Tiwari essays the role of Hari in Zee's new show, Shree. Here is the actor in a candid conversation...

Somewhere in my mind I thought of becoming an actor but as days went ahead, I thought it wouldn’t be possible. But as I said earlier, things clicked and I got this show.

How did you bag the main lead in Shree?
One day I just received a call from the production house to give audition for the main lead and I went ahead as it was Hats Off. Then I came to know that J. D. Majethia auditioned many guys for the role, but things didn’t click. One day he saw me in the ad of a mobile phone on TV and asked his team to get in touch with me. I gave the look test and was selected.

What is the similarity between Hari and Pankaj?
There are lots of similarities between my on screen and off screen personalities. Hari is a 25 year old guy who is impulsive and has high aspirations in life. He dreams a lot, just like me and respects and loves his family.

Shree has a supernatural element in it. Do you also believe in such things?
Yes I believe in supernatural elements but only as a force. God is also a force as nobody has seen, but still believe in. There are supernatural powers which one can feel. It’s just that the vibes sometimes are positive and negative and accordingly we term it as god and the evil.

Are you comfortable doing saas bahu sagas?
As an actor I should be comfortable doing any kind of role and show. I have to be versatile.
