Enjoying his new stint as a positive-shaded character, Aanshul Trivedi is a happy man playing Raghav in Sony PAL’s Ek Rishta Aisa Bhi (Shashi-Sumeet Productions).

Talking about the same, the good looking guy shared, “I feel lucky to have got a chance to perform for such a different character. From the rustic Pramad (Saraswatichandra), I shifted to this sophisticated well-suited guy which is a completely different affair. I think it’s all thanks to my writers who give me such great opportunities and create such wonderful characters for me.”

When asked whether he enjoys emoting ‘love’ or ‘hatred’ onscreen, Aanshul averred, “I think for an actor every emotion is as difficult and interesting to play. Initially I enjoyed portraying the villainous character as I was in a different phase of life. I think that character helped me vent out and cleanse myself. Now I am happy playing the good boy (smiles).”

Although the guy has been lucky playing some strong characters, we wondered why he has not yet played a lead in a show. “To be honest I want to play a lead. But whatever I have been offered till now has not been interesting enough. I enjoy playing strong characters and interestingly whenever my character is in focus in any show, it just steals all the limelight. I really hope to do a good lead role soon, may be a love story next.”

And what about movie plans? “Well that is the plan for all actors, whether they accept it or not. I work on a serial thinking it to be a film hoping that the law of attraction would someday get me my dream project.”

Aanshul who stands tall above 6 feet has a hilarious story about his height issues while shooting. “You won’t believe, I always carry a patla (stand) of six inches with me. Female co-stars of course aren’t that tall, but not many male actors are also this tall. Hence to make our scenes look good, I am prepared with my stand (laughs).”

So which tall actress would he like to romance on screen? “I don’t know if she would match the height, but I really like Paridhi Sharma. I am fond of her and super impressed with her performance. She is graceful and instead of Aishwarya (Rai), now I think she comes in mind when it comes to Jodha.”

Well wish you luck Aanshul.
