The Madhubala fame impressed his fans with his acting mettle and became a well-known figure in the television industry. Following the impressive success of Choti Sarrdaarni, Avinesh is again in a Sikh look, adapting a sporty personality. During the conversation with us, we asked whether he had set a bar for himself after the success of Choti Sarrdaarni.
Replying to it, the actor comments, "Well, yes, in a way. I got appreciation from people when I wore a turban in my previous show. It was kind of a realization that I look good in a turban, and I can portray the character well."
Further, Avinesh adds, "But this character (Ranjha Singh) is more challenging. Firstly I want to break the stereotype of being cast as the same guy and same character just because wearing a turban doesn't make me the same character as before. So, it's a challenge for me."
