Actor Ankit Bathla who has been a part of multiple TV shows became a household name with his stint in Naagin 4. The actor is now all set to feature in the And TV show, Ghar Ek Mandir – Kripa Agrasen Maharaj Ki.
The show currently features actor Shrenu Parikh as the female lead Genda. Ankit talked about the show and his role in an interview with ETimes TV, he shared, “I will be paired opposite Genda (Shrenu Parikh). Though the title of the show sounds religious, the treatment isn’t typical. There is a lot of drama and other shades of emotions in it. After Naagin wrapped up, I shifted my focus to OTT. But when the makers approached me with the offer, I was quite excited about taking it up. While I am jittery about shifting my base temporarily, I am looking forward to a new experience of shooting in Jaipur, especially with winters approaching.”
Talking about working with Shrenu, he said, “I have watched Shrenu’s work and she is a very good actress. I am looking forward to working with her and quite excited about it.”
Ankit also talked about his role of Siddhant Saga and shared, “I would say it’s different. It’s not your most loved or a happy-go-lucky guy. I don’t have any qualms about exploring shades. My character Dhruv turned from positive to negative – the two extremes – in the show, Thapki Pyaar Ki. I came across a lot of people who told me that they liked my mean avatar. Also, I feel that the track changes on the basis of the audience’s feedback. One can’t predict whether a character will stay positive or negative throughout the show. I have also realized that TV doesn’t stereotype actors anymore”, he concluded.
