Actor
Anas
Rashid,
who
plays
the
role
of
Sooraj
Rathi
in
Diya
Aur
Bati
Hum,
will
don
the
get-up
of
Lord
Shiva
in
an
upcoming
sequence
of
the
popular
soap
opera.
As
Anas's
on-screen
wife
and
IPS
officer
Sandhya
Rathi
(played
by
Deepika
Singh)
will
go
on
a
secret
mission
leaving
her
family
behind,
the
couple
will
be
seen
together
for
the
last
time
in
a
very
different
avatar.
To
get
perfection
into
his
look
of
Lord
Shiva,
Anas
took
around
four
hours
to
get
ready.
The
actor
donned
a
headgear
of
long
hair
which
was
too
heavy
for
him
to
wear.
He
was
also
seen
holding
a
'trishul'
(trident)
to
was
slightly
heavy.
"I
have
always
wanted
to
do
a
mythological
show,
so
I'm
glad
that
because
of
this
sequence
I'm
getting
a
chance
to
play.
I
researched
as
much
as
I
could
about
Lord
Shiva,
on
his
postures
and
way
of
talking.
It
took
me
almost
around
four
hours
to
get
ready," Anas
said
in
a
statement.
"Wearing
the
wig
was
extremely
challenging
as
it
would
keep
slipping.
All
in
all,
this
look
was
very
challenging
but
fun
at
the
same
time.
This
was
the
first
time
that
I
actually
took
more
than
three
hours
to
get
ready
but
it
was
totally
worth
it,"
he
added.
