'It feels great to get prominence' : Ashish Kapoor
Friday, May 25, 2007
Ashish Kapoor, known as Kanwar Sab of "Saath Phere", is on cloud nine these days, as his role turns sweet and lovable from a sour and hateful one. He is also happy doing a crossover film, which he is excited about. Here he talks about his role and likes and dislikes.
How
has
been
your
experience
in
"Saath
Phere" thus
far?
It's
been
great
and
also
brilliant,
as
it
has
a
great
producer,
director,
cast
and
crew,
it
is
a
family
to
me
now.
I
have
so
much
attachment
with
the
show
and
people
there.
I
have
made
great
friends
and
I
hope
to
cherish
it
life
long.
Above
all,
it
is
my
first
serial
which
is
been
running
since
the
past
one
year.
Your
character
has
transformed
from
a
hateful
to
a
lovable
one....
Yes,
it
has
turned
positive.
The
character
is
now
acting
like
a
double-edged
sword.
It
may
sound
thrilling,
but
it
seems
balanced
now.
It
is
quite
a
different
character,
but
I
don't
know
why
and
how
long
will
it
stay
positive.
How
do
you
feel
as
your
role
is
getting
prominence
now?
I
was
always
there.
I
mean
my
character
was
always
in
the
serial.
It
is
just
that
few
other
characters
come
in
and
also
went
out.
But
the
character
I
am
portraying
is
very
important
and
it
feels
nice
when
an
actor's
character
gets
importance,
as
it
is
very
essential
for
an
actor
to
play
a
prominent
role.
So
I
feel
great.
Did
people
look
down
upon
you
as
you
played
a
negative
role
for
a
long
time?
No,
actually
nothing
of
that
sort
has
happened
with
me.
In
fact,
people
have
come
down
to
me
and
appreciated
my
work.
I
personally
feel
that
the
character
was
negative,
but,
at
the
same
time,
it
was
also
a
bit
comic,
a
bit
of
naughty.
I
enjoyed
playing
it
as
it
had
a
different
flavour
altogether.
He
used
to
do
stupid
things
and
tried
to
save
himself
and
always
tried
to
dig
things,
which
would
benefit
him.
So
it
is
a
mixed
role.
So,
which
one
do
you
enjoy
most,
a
negative
or
a
positive
role?
See,
it
is
very
difficult
to
say
that,
as
the
most
important
thing
is
the
character
and
the
script.
There
is
nothing
to
do
with
my
liking,
as
I
have
to
do
what
is
written
in
my
script.
It
is
my
job,
as
everyday
when
I
get
the
script
in
my
hand
I
have
to
work
accordingly.
But
Personally,
I
like
both
the
characters
equally...
Tell
us
something
about
your
crossover
film
"Zero
Hour
-
A
Royal
Massacre"?
It
is
basically
a
docu-drama
and
a
crossover
film
by
U.K.
Productions
based
on
the
royal
massacre
of
King
Gynanender
of
Nepal.
I
play
the
role
of
the
king.
It
is
a
very
nice
movie.
