Expressing his aspirations regarding future roles, Omkar shared, “Through ‘Aangan,’ I’ve delved into the realm of television and its shooting dynamics.

Recounting the hurdles faced early in his entertainment career, he mentioned, “My debut in ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2’ reignited the audience’s recognition, leveraging the goodwill I had established from my childhood roles. However, I had to rebuild my value as an actor after a prolonged hiatus. It was a phase of auditions and perseverance that spanned over 4-5 years post my graduation.”
Regarding his inclination towards reality shows, Omkar clarified, “Personally, I’m not inclined towards reality shows. They don’t captivate my interest, although I wouldn’t rule it out completely.”
