But now, being accepted in the world of OTT and films, I get to explore a vast variety of roles, which is the best phase for any actor. I'm enjoying playing positive, negative, funny, serious roles, etc. Right after Mistry, my next film will showcase a very different character. That's the beauty of being a character actor; you get to do so much. I'm truly blessed."
