Tusharr Khanna is garnering a lot of appreciation and love for his role in Naagin 6. The actor who was missing from the silver screen for the last 2 years recently talked about the response he is getting and more, during a recent interview.
Tusharr shared, “It has been overwhelming. I have been working for 7 years but this is the first time I have been getting such a crazy response. I am just grateful and happy. My entry shot went viral, and fans are literally going crazy. I am just happy.”
Talking about the journey that led him here, the actor said, “I entered the industry when I was 20, I was very young and I did not know much about life. I knew acting because I have been in theatre all my life, so acting was always there, but I needed to know a lot about life, and how to be professional. You have to go through certain things sometimes to learn a lot of things, and I learned those things in these 7 years. When you are away from family, you learn so much, you meet a lot of people, and you mature with time. So now is the time I think where I have changed as a person also, doing things differently and making decisions differently. After doing some TV shows, I was like I wanted to do films because that was my dream but it wasn’t getting through. I wasn’t doing a lot in these 2-3 years because big projects were promised to me and nothing happened. But then, I was like rather than waiting for something to happen, I should do something, be visible, work in a bigger and popular show so that people know me and I am visible and I think that is paying off.”
When asked about his experience on the sets of the show, he said, “It is very good, they are very supportive. I wasn’t sure in the beginning because you don’t know how people will react. They are very nice and friendly, and everyone is welcoming. I am having a great time shooting, the director is really amazing and Ekta ma’am is also liking my work. There’s a lot coming up with my character ahead.”
Upon being asked if he had any apprehensions about signing a supernatural thriller, Tusharr replied, “Not at all. I think the audience is growing and there is a different kind of audience. If there is TV and films on one hand, then there is OTT too, and every medium has its set audience and they give an equal amount of love. To be very honest, I feel people in India are not as aware of OTT and films need them to go to the theatres but this reaches them and it is the massiest and the most popular platform at this time in India. I am glad that I took the decision to come back to TV and do a show like Naagin 6. I don’t what will happen ahead, but I am getting a lot of love and support from the audiences and I hope it carries forward as well.”
