As per a recent report by Pinkvilla, Sharad while speaking about the show informed them that,”Initially when I was offered Naagin 5, I had this perception that I was going to be the hero. But then I was corrected saying that no, Ekta Ma’am wants you as the antagonist, as the villain and that completely took me by surprise. It was something which I never expected. Considering that I was doing TV for last 14-15 years, nobody had the guts to offer me the negative lead. By guts, I mean that nobody visualised me like this. I have been playing only hero or the protagonist, the positive guy for the longest time, I played a warrior, a sanskari beta or pati but never a grey character. I am forever going to be grateful to them for this opportunity, Ekta just threw a googly.”
He further reveals that on the first day of the shoots, he was cold feet because he used to play a hero in the shows. “I walk and talk like a hero but right here she wants Veer to be a brass, evil, kamina but when he walk, he gives a rat ass about anyone. He doesn’t believe in love and is all about lust. Such a man is difficult to find up here. I had never done such a character and hence I was very excited. The first episode when it aired, I did not watch it. I usually watch my episodes but this time I didn’t. After a while, I went online, me and my wife, and I was overwhelmed seeing the reaction. I welled up,” he added further.
Sharad was last seen sharing the screen space with Yesha Rughani in ‘Muskaan’.
