We
have
seen
him
playing
a
loving
and
caring
husband
in
popular
TV
show
Choti
Bahu.
But
actor
Avinash
Sachdev
is
now
ready
to
play
a
male
chauvinist
in
the
second
season
of
Iss
Pyaar
Ko
Kya
Naam
Doon.
Talking
about
his
character,
Avinash
told:
"In
my
previous
show
'Choti
Bahu',
I
had
essayed
the
role
of
a
person
who
is
simple,
kind
and
down-to-earth.
But
now,
for
the
first
time
I
am
playing
a
bad
boy...
a
male
chauvinist.
It
was
challenging."
The
original
show
was
extremely
popular
and
had
upset
a
lot
of
viewers
when
the
curtains
came
down
upon
it
abruptly
with
Barun
Sobti,
the
lead
actor,
quitting
the
show
to
pursue
his
Bollywood
dreams.
Avinash
says
when
he
started
shooting
for
the
new
show,
he
didn't
know
it
would
be
a
sequel
to
Iss
Pyaar
Ko
Kya
Naam
Doon.
"When
I
started
shooting
in
January,
I
wasn't
aware
that
it
would
be
a
sequel.
The
show
revolves
around
a
couple,
who
has
different
interests
and
still
they
fall
for
each
other," he
said.
The
actor
says
no
special
preparations
went
behind
making
his
role
as
convincing
as
Barun
did
in
the
original.
"I
haven't
watched
the
original
show
because
at
that
time
I
was
busy
with
'Choti
Bahu'.
Also,
like
I
said,
I
was
not
aware
that
it's
a
sequel,"
said
Avinash.
Avinash
believes
the
show
will
cater
to
viewers
of
all
age
groups
as
love-based
content
attracts
one
and
all.
"It
completely
depends
on
the
concept
of
the
show.
'Iss
Pyaar
Ko...'
is
a
family
drama.
So,
it
would
definitely
attract
homemakers.
But
there's
a
chemistry
between
the
lead
actors,
so
that
might
catch
the
interest
of
youngsters," he
added.
Avinash,
who
also
owns
a
fashion
clothing
house
in
Malad
in
Mumbai,
admits
that
the
sequel
bug
has
caught
TV
producers
too,
but
he
hopes
his
own
show
does
well.
"It's
a
different
concept," said
the
actor,
who
believes
there's
no
shortcut
to
success.
The
show,
a
romantic-comedy
drama,
will
hit
the
small
screen
with
a
new
tagline
-
Ek
Baar
Phir.
It
will
air
on
Star
Plus.
