Mumbai: Television actor Himanshu Soni has opened up on why there is not much scope to improvise while playing mythological characters.
Himanshu Soni is popular for playing mythological characters in different television shows.
He said: “Essaying mythological characters is not an easy process and does not give you much scope to improvise. Th9is is because the audience is emotionally and spiritually connected to them.”
However, he feels the role will give him a chance to explore his acting skills better. In the show, he is a man with mental instability.
“With characters like these, it’s always easy to explore your acting skills and play it by the ear. This new role is a challenging one. I feel my experience so far has given me an understanding of how to deal with such intense characters,” he added.
‘Aggar Tum Na Hote’ narrates the story of a young and dedicated nurse taking care of Abhimanyu Pandey (essayed by Himanshu Soni), who is a rich and seemingly normal young man dealing with mental instability.
The actor said: “My character mainly speaks of a charming lovable boy who is dealing with mental instability. He is tackling a difficult phase. Although it is a very intense character, I’m thrilled to portray this role. This is quite a contrast from the usual roles that I have played.”
The daily soap will soon release on Zee TV.
