Bollywood
actor
Ashish
Chowdhry,
who
started
his
career
with
TV,
is
all
set
to
return
to
the
small
screen
with
Ek
Mutthi
Aasman
and
hopes
the
show
revives
his
career.
Best
known
for
his
comic
timings
in
hits
like
Dhamaal
and
Double
Dhamaal,
Ashish
did
TV
shows
like
Hum
Pardesi
Ho
Gaye.
"TV
has
become
much
more
popular.
The
whole
scene
has
changed.
I
feel,
if
this
show
('Ek
Mutthi
Aasman')
works,
my
roles
in
films
will
also
change
and
audience
will
also
change
(increase)," Ashish
told
reporters
here
Wednesday
at
the
launch
of
the
show.
He
added:
"I
am
happy
being
back
(on
TV)
and
I
have
no
complaints
with
films."
What
prompted
him
to
do
TV?
"The
problem
with
the
films
(that
I
was
getting)
was
that
they
were
multi-starrer
comedies,
so
I
was
like
a
slot.
"Of
course,
I
should
be
happy
and
never
complain
because
what's
important
is
that
you
should
get
acceptance,
wherever
you
get
it
and
I
got
it
in
multi-starrer
comedies,
but
I
wanted
to
do
something
different," he
said.
Ek
Mutthi
Aasman
is
about
the
dreams
and
aspirations
of
parents
working
as
domestic
helps
and
the
theme
of
the
show
also
appealed
to
Ashish.
Ashish
said
that
after
reading
the
script,
he
thouught
he
should
grab
the
opportunity
to
give
the
society
something
a
la
Aamir
Khan.
Taare
Zameen
Par,
directed
by
Aamir
Khan,
explored
the
life
of
a
dyslexic
child,
who
excelled
in
art,
but
failed
in
academics.
"He
opened
the
eyes
of
the
parents
towards
their
children
who
don't
study," Ashish
said.
"Same
is
with
'Ek
Mutthi
Aasman'
-
there
are
our
domestic
workers,
who
serve
us
and
helping
them
in
fulfilling
their
desires
or
not
ill-treating
them...
I
think
these
problems
are
still
unsolved
in
our
country.
Dignity
of
labour
is
still
not
there,"
he
added.
Ek
Mutthi
Aasman
also
marks
the
comeback
of
Bollywood
actress
Shilpa
Shirodkar.
It
will
go
on
air
Aug
26
on
Zee
TV.
