“For me, it was very important to shed the image of Shiva and attract the audience to the image of Sachin,” an elated Kanwar Dhillon said in an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla. The actor, who is currently seen playing the role of Sachin in Udne Ki Aasha, opened up about the show and overwhelmingly discussed receiving praise from the audience. He also spoke at length about mental health and advised the viewers to let go of the past.
Talking about Udne Ki Aasha and the response he has been receiving for his performance, Kanwar said, “I have been lucky with Pandya Store, having played Shiva for 2.5 years and did over 800 episodes. When people watch you playing the same character for a long time, they refuse to accept you in a new role.”
Recalling how he received responses from people who drew similarities between Shiva and Sachin, Dhillon stated, “I told them to wait and watch. The way their perception changed after the show aired was spectacular. The appreciation and praise that I received in two and half years for Pandya Store, that much I earned in only 6 months for Udne Ki Aasha.”
Talking about his character, Sachin, Dhillion said that his innocence, vulnerability, and that Sachin is a "common man belonging to a middle-class background to make ends meet" is relatable to the audience. He remarked how the show has no ‘unnecessary drama.’
