Shabir
Ahluwalia,
who
became
a
household
name
with
his
role
of
Abhi
in
Kumkum
Bhagya,
will
be
seen
in
the
new
show
Pyaar
Ka
Pehla
Naam
Radha
Mohan.
The
show
stars
Neeharika
Roy
opposite
him.
Shabir
will
be
seen
playing
a
man
in
his
mid-30s,
who
is
desirable,
but
has
lost
his
way.
Talking
about
the
new
show
and
his
character,
he
said
that
playing
challenging
roles
has
always
made
him
a
better
actor.
The
actor
was
quoted
by
IANS
as
saying,
"I
have
never
stepped
away
from
performing
a
different
character.
In
fact,
I
am
always
excited
and
enthusiastic
about
it,
playing
challenging
roles
has
always
made
me
a
better
actor.
I
believe
experimenting
with
one's
look
and
character
opens
various
dimensions
for
an
actor
and
helps
them
grow
along
with
their
surroundings."
The
actor
further
mentioned
that
his
character
Abhi
in
Kumkum
Bhagya
is
different
from
Mohan
in
Pyaar
Ka
Pehla
Naam
Radha
Mohan.
He
added
that
the
transformation
wasn't
easy,
but
he
worked
on
it
for
months.
Shabir
concluded
by
saying,
"My
new
character
-
Mohan
in
Pyaar
Ka
Pehla
Naam
Radha
Mohan
is
totally
different
from
what
I
played
when
I
was
Abhi
in
Kumkum
Bhagya.
I
must
add
that
transforming
from
Abhi
to
Mohan
wasn't
easy
as
well,
but
I
have
worked
hard
on
it
for
a
few
months
now
and
it
will
surely
help
me
play
the
character
in
a
completely
different
way."
