MUMBAI: Actor Avinash Mishra was very disappointed at the beginning of this year when his show Yeh Teri Galiyaan went off air. However, the year changed for the better for him. “My show Yeh Teri Galiyaan was wrapped up. We shot for more than 400 episodes and we were doing well but unfortunately, the show was pulled off. This was the toughest time for me. This year was very sad for all of us but at the end, I got the best role of my career, which was amazing,” says the actor, who is part of Durga – Mata Ki Chhaya. 

Ask him how he kept himself optimistic during this tough time, and he says, “I’m already a very positive and spiritual person and I read books mostly related to life. I get the motivation to stay positive from this literature. So, this is exactly what I continued to do for most of the year. Staying at home was tough, especially during a pandemic, but I made sure I am happy.” 

He adds,” I also started waking up at 5:00 am in the morning. Earlier, I had a different routine but ever since the lockdown began, I started this and have been continuing. I feel it really helps in giving a positive spin to your day. When you get up early, you are able to get more things done, and this makes everyone happy.” 

Talking about his future plans, Avinash says, “From last so many years, it’s in my wish list to do a mythological show. I hope I get to do it soon.”
