Pankitt
Thaker,
who
plays
Atul
Joshi
in
"Dill
Mill
Gayye",
holds
a
very
simple
view
about
television
serials.
All
that
matters
is
the
concept
and
not
the
hype,
he
believes.
The
actor
talks
about
his
experience
of
doing
the
new
youthful
show
and
how
he
gets
along
with
his
costars.
Your
third
serial
on
StarOne
"Dill
Mill
Gayye" is
doing
well,
what
do
you
have
to
say
about
it?
It's
good
that
our
show
is
doing
very
well
and
I
am
very
excited
about
it.
A
lot
of
people
believe
that
only
a
certain
genre
like
the
saas-bahu
sagas
works
on
television.
But
our
show
is
very
different
from
other
shows.
So
that
proves
that
the
genre
doesn't
matter,
it's
the
concept
that
counts.
How
did
you
bag
this
role?
I
went
through
an
audition.
I
had
already
worked
with
one
of
the
creative
directors
and
we
knew
each
other.
All
you
young
actors
have
got
a
lot
of
footage
from
this
serial.
Do
you
thing
you
all
will
be
able
to
live
up
to
the
expectations
of
the
audience?
Frankly
speaking,
I
have
previously
done
bigger
shows,
like
"India
Calling" and
"Special
Squad"
with
StarOne,
which
was
much
talked
about.
Before
that,
I
had
worked
with
Balaji,
so
this
hype
around
"Dill
Mill
Gayye"
doesn't
really
affect
me.
I
have
seen
all
this
before.
How
similar
is
your
reel
character
of
Atul
Joshi
with
the
real
you?
It's
an
absolute
contrast.
In
real
life,
I
am
an
introvert,
very
reserved,
who
likes
to
be
left
alone.
On
the
other
hand,
Atul
is
very
light-hearted,
juvenile
and
an
extrovert.
Did
you
face
problems
in
mixing
with
others
on
the
sets
because
of
your
reserved
nature?
The
problem
with
me
is
that
I
don't
open
up
easily
with
anybody.
I
am
a
very
reserved
guy.
So
it
was
difficult
for
me
to
gel
with
others
even
though
I
wanted
to.
I
took
a
lot
of
time
to
open
up.
Now,
I
have
struck
a
rapport
with
all.
Personally,
it
doesn't
matter
to
me
who
are
friends
with
whom.
I
totally
depend
on
my
vibes.
If
they
are
positive,
then
only
I
make
friends.
Touchwood!
people
here
on
the
sets
are
really
very
nice.
If
I
don't
like
someone
I
would
say
that
in
the
face.
Any
funny
incident
on
the
sets
that
you
can
recall
of?
There
are
plenty
of
them.
You
can
ask
the
girls
about
it,
they
will
tell
you
all
about
me.
They
keep
telling
me
that
I
am
very
funny,
which
actually
I
am
not.
That's
what
I
find
funny.
What
other
projects
are
you
currently
working
in?
Next
up
is
a
show
with
Cinevista
on
Zee.
But
there
is
time
for
it.
So
I
don't
want
to
talk
about
it
right
now.
What
can
the
audience
expect
from
"Dill
Mill
Gayye"?
You
should
not
expect
anything
from
serials,
you
must
simply
enjoy
them.
Today,
this
show
is
being
hyped,
tomorrow
some
other
show
will
be
hyped.
What's
important
is
to
preserve
the
essence
of
the
show.
We
are
doing
that.
Even
if
some
other
new
serial
hits
the
block,
the
audience
must
stay
back
with
us.
What
are
you
very
passionate
about?
I
am
passionate
only
about
acting.
I
even
read
books
to
enhance
my
acting
skills.
What
would
you
like
to
be
known
as
by
one
and
all?
As
an
actor,
no
second
thoughts
about
that.
