MUMBAI: Sharad Malhotra has enthralled the audience with his brilliant performances. In a recent conversation with a news daily, the actor opened up about the favouritism in the Television industry.

He added that this is something that he has seen. "It’s very easy for anybody to say ‘Haan theek hai, this person is better than you’, without even looking at the capabilities of the person you’re talking about," Sharad stated.
