And he is all set to shock the world by enacting the character of a transgender in the project.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The movie is an adaptation of a short film and while the couple has made few changes, they retained the essence completely. “When I read this short story, I started making a rough screenplay in my head. The original story is based in UP but I could see it in Rajasthan. That’s the basic difference, other then that it’s very close to the original. We have just enhanced it cinematically.”</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">There was recently a lot of buzz about him refusing to kiss his co-star Sonarika Bhadoria in Prithvi Vallabh. And now, that he is playing a transgender in the film, we asked his takes on stigmas attached to what should be presented on-screen. “At times a story needs certain things which will have an impact only if shown visually and if that is required it needs to be done. But if we show it just for titillation or grabbing eyeballs that shouldn’t be the criterion. Just to clear this, you will see lot of shockers in Khejdi,” he said with a smirk.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">While Ashish started with films, we wondered what kept him away from the big screen for so long. He quipped with a smile, “Everything happens for a reason. I had done three films before TV happened to me but only one came out (Love Sex Aur Dhoka). TV thus prepared me so much and has given me such a brilliant standing that today, I can take the risk of producing a film myself. I’ve always called it paid learning as I was learning on the job. I completely owe everything I am or I will be to TV. While I was at Anupam Kher sir’s acting school, he had told me once that ‘beta kaam karte rehna chota bada kaisa bhi, kyunki kaam se kaam aata hai, ghar baithe nahi aata (Do whatever work you can, big or small, for work gets more work, sitting at home will never help).”</span></div>

</script></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ashish has already ticked out TV and films and while actors are moving towards the digital medium, he has his own way of choosing projects. “I don’t feel that now TV is done so let’s do films; I see content not medium. If a story appeals to me I would be a part of it in whatever capacity because I like to tell stories. And indeed web has become an interesting platform to tell stories which you can’t tell otherwise on other platforms. We ourselves are developing two scripts for the same. So let’s see how it all pans out.”</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">She is beautiful and brazen in her demeanour. Her portrayal of Anika in TV’s popular show Ishqbaaaz has earned her sobriquet ‘reliable star’. With legions of global fans, Surbhi is a hotshot performer, slipping in & out of myriad avatars with ease and elan, entertaining masses, winning accolades and appreciation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Surbhi’s tryst with fame began with her powerful enactment of a deaf & mute character in Zee TV’s Qubool Hai. That she is a force to reckon with, was apparent and evident. Now, as Anika, she has touched epic proportions of credibility and fame.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Tell us, how’s it been playing Anika so far? What attracted you the most about this role?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It has been a year and a half since I have been playing Anika. I am living the character. I think anybody who would have been in my place would have loved to enact it. She laughs, she has a weird vocabulary, she is blunt, she has a dark past. It is a combination of everything. I think as an actor it is very challenging to portray such a lively character.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Anika has multiple shades. Which one satisfies you the most as an actor in terms of performance?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I feel I am very weak at emotional scenes because it’s not my forte. In real life, I am a very jovial person. When I have to get into the space where I have to be Anika in a certain situation which I don’t relate to, it gets tough but now that I am living her life, they have become much easier to perform. I don’t enjoy emotional scenes. I like her happy side and making fun.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Fans’ love is like an energy bar for me. I also take criticism very well. I do try to work on some stuff that is not appreciated. Even if it is a smallest of thing</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What has been the most challenging bit about Ishqbaaaz so far?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am very happy and there are not too many challenges. I do feel there have been sequences which have been challenging to shoot like Anika and Shivaay usually throwing each other in the pool. At that point even if you have any health issue you have to perform as the script demands the same. There was a sequence wherein Daksh put me in a water cylinder. I was having fever and shot it in a hectic schedule. There have been some challenging shoot but it is okay because I know the end result is good because the daily’s popularity reflects that’s all is worth it.  This week has been challenging as I had to change many avatars. Last week, I played the role of a dadi and last to last week I was into an avatar of Hyderabadi begum and I had to get the dialect. The best thing is that the makers are confident that I can pull off the characters. They have the trust, so it has been fun.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Was there a phase where you had a dislike for a particular track, and you did it because there was a requirement?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I won’t use the word dislike but as an actor you don’t connect with certain tracks. No matter what, we should connect convincingly to entertain the audience. We do have opinions and we share it too. Gul Khan as a producer will always take your inputs. We rate well, so this shows that we are in the right space.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So how have you evolved as an actress with this Anika journey?   </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The various moods of Anika and its depiction is riveting. My mom is always so shocked. She sometimes asks me from where I gained these acting. Very honestly, she always thought very low of me. When I used to go for auditions she used to say that this is not meant for you. Now, when she watches me as Anika she gets amazed. There are a lot of people who say that we watch the show for Anika. It is a proud feeling. I do work hard on my scenes. I have Lalit Mohan, who is directing me. He also directed me in Qubool Hai. I have a certain comfort level with him wherein he can shout at me and he can give me inputs. The team is very comfortable.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After playing Anika, I have become little selective. I just don’t want to do everything. I don’t want to be over exposed. I want to retain the freshness</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You are a bahu who is very different in look, dress-up and also approach. Explain…</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sorry to my TV contemporaries that they don’t get to wear stylish clothes that I get to dress up in. I feel sorry for them that they have to wear simple sarees. I wear a mixture of everything. Her approach towards life is totally different. What I like about her is that she is independent, blunt, she doesn’t need her husband’s surname to survive and she is not dependent on him. She is equal to Shivaay. A lot of women connect to Anika. Now, women don’t relate to crying TV bahus. Everybody knows to fight for herself, nobody is weak. Anika is an example of women empowerment. Any of my contemporary would really want to play a character like Anika once in her life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am getting compliment in terms of getting nominated at every award function. It is massive for me. The show being my first daily and getting nominated is itself a big victory for me. I am getting messages from all parts of the world from my fans through social media. I am overwhelmed. It also makes me work hard. Fans’ love is like an energy bar for me. I also take criticism very well. I do try to work on some stuff that is not appreciated. Even if it is a smallest of thing stating that I am not active on social media. It does affect me as I want to connect with my fans because whatever I am today is because of them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The show in its own way is massive. It has a great fan following. I feel Ishqbaaaz has perfect casting. Everybody fits the bill. They are fabulous in their roles</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Your major shows Qubool Hai and Ishqbaaaz have been immensely loved by the audience. Which of these two has proved pivotal for your career? </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Qubool Hai was my first show as a parallel lead. It was totally a different character as I was playing a role of a deaf and mute person in the show. I had to express everything with my eyes, which is quite tough. I had to put in extra efforts for the role. I have had an amazing experience playing the character. Anika from Ishqbaaaz is super amazing. There’s such funny language that sometimes I start laughing reading my lines. Both characters have been wonderful. We have amazing writers like Harmeet and Divi Appu.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have not got a chance to be selective with roles. After playing Anika, I have become little selective. I just don’t want to do everything. I don’t want to be over exposed. I want to retain the freshness that I have by just not doing every second thing on TV. I am a little picky and I think it is important. I am not dying right now as I have a lot of time to explore areas about me. I want to give time to myself. I don’t want to rush into everything. I think it will be a beautiful process to go slow. If I rush, I don’t think I will enjoy the journey and process.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There was a time when I was doing a mock shoot for Jamai Raja and I thought it would click but unfortunately, it did not because of some reasons. It would have been good if I had done Jamai Raja because it’s a good show and had a great run on TV. I think I have so much ahead in my life. I am so happy doing Ishqbaaaz.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Surbhi is very dedicated and hard working. I am passionate about whatever I put my foot in. I adore this quality of mine. I am a foodie. I love going out and trying different cuisines. I love my family and often enjoy my time with them. I stay away from negativity. I don’t think too much. I am a believer in God.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I don’t think so as Naagin had an amazing run on TV. I think people want to watch different content. When you know that you are rating high and people are enjoying the content than what’s wrong in it.  If any day I have to play a Naagin, I would be happily doing it if I am convinced with the role. It also depends on the actor. Mouni does it beautifully. She is flawless. I don’t think it is regressive. I think Ekta Kapoor is doing a great job by getting different content on TV. I feel certain section of TV viewers fail to understand the difference between reel and real. I feel to each his own.</span></div>

He is very comfortable to work with. There is no pretence or fakeness when we both perform together. I run away from scenes where I have to do overacting.

Sad about celebrating my birthday with strangers in the Bigg Boss 11 house: Hina Khan

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A day that would have been spent celebrating with friends and family, ushering in some surprises, is being rather a difficult one for the beautiful Hina Khan. Wondering why? Well, it’s Hina Khan’s birthday today. And instead of having fun being pampered by her loved ones on her big day, the Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai star is currently locked in the Bigg Boss 11 house. Just moments before Salman Khan could take her in, Hina in an exclusive chat with indianexpress.com showed despair at being alone on her birthday. “I am really sad that I will be celebrating my birthday with strangers in the house. I don’t know how it would be inside, and whether I will get a chance to bring in my day or not.”</span></div>

Also, I am good at survival cooking and have also practiced making rotis, so it’s going to be cool,” she shared with a broad smile. Hosted by Salman Khan, Bigg Boss 11 launched last night on Colors with 18 contestants getting locked in for 100 days in a palatial house.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hina’s co-stars Karan Mehra and Rohan Mehra were participants last year in the same show. When asked if she discussed her participation and strategies, the young actor shared, “I did have a conversation with Rohan but since both of us are different personalities, our thought processes are quite different. Also, I had a long discussion with Lopamudra (Raut), who was my co-contestant in KKK, and had performed exceptionally well in Bigg Boss last time. Being a girl, she helped me clear out my fears and doubts. Gauahar (Khan), who is a dear friend, and the winner of Bigg Boss 7 also encouraged me. Interestingly, all of them suggested me the same things- be real, be yourself and stand up whenever required. So I guess am good to go now.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Being part of a Rajan Shahi show is quite a treat specially if the show is one of his best. One of Shahi’s longest running shows, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata is also one of his grandest and actor Rishi Dev, who plays the role of Naksh, couldn’t agree more. “It has been great experience till now and more great experiences are on their way! When it’s about Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, the team and the channel know what exactly is to be done with each character. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">If it’s about Naksh, every single day brings a new challenge and a large spectrum of emotions to play. Talking about the response of my character, people are eagerly waiting for Keesh wedding to happen,” he says.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The show is known for its elaborate wedding sequences and Rishi says Naksh and Keerti’s wedding on the show, will be no different. “Yeh Rishta… knows how to make every wedding look grand and amazing! The Keesh wedding is on its way and I’m pretty excited to see how marvellously our creative team and the writers join the production house and the channel to bring out the grandest wedding of this era!” he says.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The actor says that he shares a great relationship with his on screen fiancé Keerti, essayed by Mohena Singh. “Knowing each other’s character, listening to each other’s advice and working on scenes together before the shoot can only happen when you share a great bond with your co-star. Mohena is a great friend. She has a positive aura around her and believes in her character. It’s fun to work with such actors,” he says</span></div>

I feel happy to have given a ‘new life’ to Naksh – Rishi Dev

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Actor Rishi Dev who essays the role of Naksh in the popular Star Plus show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai is enjoying his great journey of being part of the show.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Says Rishi, “The character graph that I have got for the role of Naksh has been really good. This role is very special as you never know what you are going to get to perform the next day. The best part is that my character has had so much to do in the story, and that has kept me on my toes everyday.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

</script></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">He goes on, “When I joined the show, I never thought that my role will shape up to be so big. I am thrilled about the fact that the show though loaded with family values, requires me to maintain a ‘cute’ zone for my character.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Having replaced the popular Rohan Mehra as Naksh, Rishi was quite open to all the comparisons that came his way. “To compare is a natural process and I am glad that it happened with me. I don’t blame anyone for the comparisons. The best part for me is that I had never followed Rohan earlier in the role of Naksh. So that was an added bonus, and I got in with my mind clear to take in whatever the character demanded. I am happy that viewers love me as Naksh today. Not to take anything away from Rohan, he was a very good actor. Comparisons usually happen with big stars, and I am happy that it happened with me (smiles).”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Rishi will always remain thankful to his co-stars for showing him the right path when it came to holding on to the basic characteristics of Naksh. “The senior actors on the show have always helped me to understand the extremities of my character. They have given me tip-offs on how Naksh used to react to similar situations earlier, when Rohan was playing the role. Such tips have only helped me to grow in the character. I feel happy to have given a new life to Naksh.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">At the same time, Rishi speaks about how all the actors have lived under one roof as a family while shooting. “It is always important to keep smiling when you are shooting for more than 12 hours in a day. When we are not shooting, we actors gel very well and get into a masti mode. The fun time we have during our off time actually helps us actors to motivate ourselves to work better.”</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Also, Rishi feels that the writers on board Yeh Rishta have given life to each and every character in the best way possible. “The way they have progressed in terms of story telling has been fabulous. Every character in the show is famous today, courtesy the writers and their ideas.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">On the personal front, Rishi is happy with the response got for his Punjabi and Hindi Singles ‘Jhaphi’ and ‘Shota Mota’. “For the singles we have associated with International Youtube channel Vevo and the music is digitally available on all digital platforms. The best part is that Jhaphi was shot in the vibrant city in Sonora, California USA and Shota Mota was shot in Los Angeles.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Rishi, we wish you luck!!</span></div>
