Ankit On If He Has Reservations Doing OTT
Regarding OTT shows and if he had reservations doing bold or love making scenes, the actor said, "I've done a couple of OTT projects. I am open to the use of cuss words or action shows. I did whatever my character required. One thing I totally believe that no script in the world demands s*x. That is the one thing probably I won't do onscreen. That is my reservation, you won't see me making love on screen as I am not comfortable."
‘No Script In The World Demands S*x Except P8rn’
He concluded by saying, "I am fine with everything else. I feel as an actor I am naked and it is the maker's hand how he wants to mould me according to his script. As I said no script in the world demands s*x except p*rn (laughs). If I am strongly convinced about something I might give it a shot but otherwise I won't."
