Actor
Darshan
Kumaar
has
been
receiving
several
praises
for
his
role
as
the
antagonist
Major
Sameer
in
the
both
the
seasons
of
The
Family
Man.
However,
the
actor
has
recently
revealed
that
a
section
of
the
fans
of
the
show
has
been
abusing
him.
Darshan
revealed
that
this
is
because
these
fans
cannot
differentiate
between
him
and
his
character
in
real
life.
According
to
a
news
report
in
Hindustan
Times,
Darshan
Kumaar
revealed
how
his
performance
has
been
well-received
by
some
members
of
the
film
fraternity.
The
Mary
Kom
actor
said,
"Actually,
it's
mixed.
The
film
fraternity
and
fans,
they're
saying,
'you're
looking
so
hot,
you're
looking
so
good,
you
performed
so
well'.
I'm
getting
appreciation
for
my
looks,
for
my
acting,
for
my
attitude."
However,
Darshan
then
went
on
to
add
how
some
fans
have
been
hurling
abuses
and
criticisms
at
him
just
because
he
has
essayed
a
negative
character
on
the
show.
The
NH10
actor
revealed,
"And
then
there
are
others
who
are
saying
slogans
like,
'Hindustan
zindabad,
Major
Sameer
Murdabad',
or
'Doodh
Maangoge
Toh
Kheer
Denge,
Major
Sameer
Hindustan
Ki
Taraf
Dekha
Toh
Cheer
Denge'." He
went
on
to
say,
"I've
been
getting
so
much
hatred.
People
think
I'm
from
Pakistan.
They've
forgotten
that
I'm
Darshan,
and
I'm
also
from
India.
I'm
an
actor,
and
I'm
just
playing
the
character."
Talking
about
the
show,
The
Family
Man
stars
Manoj
Bajpayee
in
the
lead
role
and
is
helmed
by
Raj
&
DK.
It
revolves
around
the
main
protagonist
Srikant
Tiwari
struggling
to
balance
his
tedious
job
as
an
NIA
agent
and
his
duty
towards
his
family.
The
show
also
stars
Priyamani,
Sharib
Hashmi,
Shreya
Dhanwantary,
Sharad
Kelkar
and
Shahab
Ali
in
the
lead
roles.
South
sensation
Samantha
Akkineni
had
joined
the
star
cast
as
an
antagonist
in
the
second
season.
Meanwhile,
in
an
earlier
interview
with
Times
Now,
Darshan
Kumaar
had
opened
up
about
his
initial
struggling
days.
The
Aashram
actor
had
said,
"I
used
to
walk
5
to
7
km
because
I
couldn't
afford
(travelling
in)
buses
every
day,
to
go
for
the
auditions.
So,
instead
of
taking
bus
tickets,
I
used
to
use
that
money
and
buy
Parle
G
(biscuit)
so
I
could
survive
the
entire
day
outside,
eating
that
Parle
G
(biscuit)
packet.
After
that,
I
used
to
do
dubbing
for
400
to
500
rupees,
full
day.
That
was
a
very
tough
time.
Because
full-day
you
are
working
really
hard,
shouting
and,
doing
stuff
but
you
are
hardly
getting
paid."
