Actor, Namish Taneja says he has done a bare-chested sequence for the first time on a TV show.

To participate in a college competition, Namish's character in Star Plus' Ikyawann will don the avatar of Lord Shiva and will perform a 'tandav' too!

"When I was a kid, I used to play the young Krishna and Ram in Ramlila. I was so fascinated with Shiva's attire that every year, I used to tell the organisers to give me a chance to play Shiva's character," Namish said in a statement.

"However, every time they brutally denied my request. Finally, after a long wait, I manifested what I wanted to do as a kid. Although it's for a very short time, I am super excited because I got an opportunity to play Lord Shiva and secondly, I did a bare-chested sequence for the first time," he added.

It took Namish two and a half hours to get into the look of Lord Shiva.
