Sharad Malhotra Opens Up On Selecting Fewer Projects Leading To Long Breaks
Opening up about fans expressing disappointment over his nearly six-month-long absence from the screen and urging his return, Sharad Malhotra said, “Fans have been very, very supportive. They’ve asked me that aapke bohot mood swings hote hai. Aap aake suddenly gayab ho jate hai 6 mahine ke liye. So I believe, theek hai. Even I would like my me-time. That’s the one criticism people have that you simply’re just coming to vanish. Ek project ke baad teen-chaar-paanch mahine ekdum gayab. But no, I’ll try to be regular now. “
Further hinting at upcoming projects, he added, “I’m meeting quite a lot of interesting people. I’m reading good scripts. It also excites me. I cannot see an individual’s face on daily basis unless I’m excited. Likewise, I actually have to read something that excites me. Agar predominant usmein ghus raha hu, toh mujhe on a regular basis usi excitement se ghusna padega. Toh utna exciting hona chaiye. The script, the content, the people, everybody. Hum roz set pe jaaye toh utne interesting chehre ho yaar ki baith ke baat-waat kar rahe hai. Fortunately, I actually have superb, interesting projects and I hope they end up well.”
Sharad Malhotra Says He Would Love To Participate In Laughter Chefs
When asked about plans on doing a reality show, Sharad said, “I believe last time humari baat Hui thi. They’re very real. They’re too real. Once they bite you, it hurts probably the most. Woh Kai baar aisa hota hai na ki yaar predominant reel mein bohot khush hu. Because reel is more about characters, where I could make my very own characters. Real is about, just non-filtered absolutely. You understand, you may have to be just there and react. That’s something I’m not comfortable around. I’m a really private person. I would like my characters to speak. I believe that’s what I’ve been. Again, as they are saying, ‘Never say never’. Kuch interesting reality show aata hai agar toh I’ll definitely see.”
Reacting as to whether he would consider doing a show like Pati Patni Aur Panga, Sharad shared, “Nahi, naam hi aisa bhai mujhe nahi jaana yaar(laughs). Jahan panga hota hai predominant bohot dur bhaag jaata hu.”
Further speaking about the potential of accepting shows like Laughter chefs, he shared, “I prefer to eat. I’m a foodie. Mujhe bohot pasand hai khaana. Mujhe khana pasand hai aur koi banaye bohot pyaar se mujhe woh bhi pasand hai.” Expressing his love for food, Sharad continued, “I obviously like to try different cuisines. Laughter chefs jaisa koi show ho na cookery-based toh I believe I might like to try. Jahan khana dikhte rahe bas.”
