My wife got scared of my role: Ashish Sharma
Shades of grey never seem to leave Ashish Sharma when it comes to his television roles. After making his debut with Gunahon Ka Devta, Ashish went on to play a not-so-good guy in Rab Se Sohna Isshq. His upcoming small screen venture Rang Rasiya will see him play yet another sombre role, that of Rudra, an armyman with a mission. The actor, who hails from Jaipur, spoke about the experience of shooting in his hometown and the method behind the madness of his onscreen persona.
Homecoming for Ashish
After an extensive shooting schedule amid the sand dunes of Bikaner, Ashish is recovering from heavy congestion in his chest and is gearing up to start promoting his show. Talking about shooting in Rajasthan, Ashish says, "It was like homecoming for me, I could spend so much time in my state. Also Rajasthan is a very integral part of the narrative. The whole conflict happens across the border. It's a love story but with a different angle to it." Always ready to experiment with his image and persona, Ashish is playing an aggressive Border Security Force officer Rudra in the serial, which is inspired byShakespeare's Othello. Though the role has a villainous streak in it, Ashish has no qualms in showing off the dark side of his character on screen. "This is not the first time that I am playing a grey character. I have been doing such roles ever since I started my career. Like any other human being, Rudra too has some shortcomings. It's not a colourful image. He is like a volcano, who is just waiting to erupt. Though he is in the army, he does not go by the rules and regulations," says Ashish, adding that this is no conventional love story.
Visiting the BSF headquarter in Jaipur
Being a theatre artiste, Ashish always likes to add his own inputs to the character he plays. And to make Rudra look more real, Ashish visited the BSF camp headquarter in Jaipur. "I met a few officials, observed their mannerisms - how they salute, talk and behave. It helped me a lot." Rudra is a very desolate and disconnected character, and to make it more real, Ashish used to sit near the window and gaze at the sky at night for hours. His method acting ended up scaring his actress wife Archana. "Just to get that look right, I used to sit near the window for hours. I didn't talk or react to anything. I stopped talking to my wife even, and, seeing this, she got very scared," he admits.
This is from Lettyji! 😈 this DEFINITELY deserves a place on the 1st page! 🤣Rangrasiya promo: Did Rudra kill Parvati's husband?
The new promo of Nautanki Film's show is live and we are totally intrigued by it
Rangrasiya is a story set in Rajasthan about Parvati (Sanaya Irani), who believes in the ultimate power of love, and Rudra (Ashish Sharma), who thinks love is a waste of an emotion. The new promo showcases Parvati leaving her home to go live with her in-laws and husband, but her route is intercepted by army men.
They check their belongings to find weapons hidden under wedding clothes. Suddenly arms are fired and in the process, Rudra shoots Parvati's husband. Rudra then, ties her up and takes her along. The whole sequence seemed rather interesting and fresh, as we've not witnessed anything like it in regular daily soaps. The promo ends with Rangrasiyas punchline: Rann ki reth pare, rakht se rachi prem ki daastaan!
The show will go on air starting December 30 at 9:30pm.
