Shehzada Dhami who is known for his role of grown-up Param Singh Gill in Choti Sarrdaarni was super excited when he bagged the role. However, his track didn’t shape up the way he expected it to. Shehzada was unhappy with the graph of his character and has decided to quit the show.
In a recent interview with BT, Shehzada talked about it and confirmed the news. He said, “Yes, I am quitting the show because I am not happy with my character and track. It didn’t shape up the way I was promised. I was under the impression that the grown-up Param will have a similar graph as the younger one, who was an important character in the storyline. But there was no scope for me to explore as an actor. Of course, I was disappointed that it fell short of my expectations. My last day of the shoot is on December 3.”
He adds, “I am clear that I want to play only lead roles. Once I wrap up the shoot of Choti Sarrdaarni, phir kaam dhoondhne mein lag jaayenge (smiles). I came to Mumbai to pursue my passion, which is acting, and not to make money. Back then itself I had decided that I would play only the main character. Scene mein aapke paas dialogues hi nahi honge toh koi matlab hi nahi hai. Mujhe paise ke liye nahi acting ke liye kaam karna hai aur scene mein side mein khade nahi hona hai. I want to do good work.”
The actor, who made his debut on the small screen with Yehh Jaadu Hai Jinn Ka, says, “I have pursued theatre and have been a part of plays in Punjab. That’s been my training ground. I had difficulty speaking in chaste Hindi. But I worked on it and honed my craft. I aspire to become better,” he concludes.
