Better known as Basant of 'Balika Vadhu', actor Satyajit Sharma is now changing gears to do a comedy show on TV
A comic act: Satyajit Sharma, who became a household name as Basant in the serial Balika Vadhu, is breathing a sigh of relief. "Finally , with a new comedy show, I am all set to break my image of a serious man," says Satyajit, who was in Lucknow on Friday. He adds, "Although I have done a lot of comedy in my professional life, but only on stage while doing theatre. I haven't done much comedy on TV , and so I am quite excited about my role in this serial, which is that of a common man from Allahabad, who can see Bal Gopal. It is the story of the relationship between a common man and God."
So, does he have a flair for comedy? "Well, I toh think that I can crack good jokes, but my friends think otherwise. They think that I am quite bad at doing come dy. They even hang up on me jab main unhe phone pe jokes sunata hoon," he says on a funny note.
The end: But coming back to Balika Vadhu, Satyajit says he is quite happy with his decision to quit the show. "Mere liye ab kuch bacha nahi tha show mein," he rues, adding, "Also, now Balika Vadhu is only successful TRPwise, not content-wise. It is only the loyal audience, which are huge in number, who are watching the show.Now the script of the show is written according to the actors left on the show, as most of the pillars of the serial have quit. I think Balika Vadhu should end now."
Matter of age: However, Satyajit still thanks the show and its makers for making him a popular name today. "If at the age of 45, I am getting offers to play the lead, it is all 'coz of the popularity that I have earned on Balika Vadhu. By God's grace, I am still getting to play roles my age. That's a big thing in TV today.Nahin toh aaj-kal toh actors in their late twenties are playing fathers and mothers on screen!" he says.
