By Anil Merani| Shalin Bhanot feels that his Colors sci-fi shows Bekaboo is a revolution. You have not seen anything like this (Devil Rakshas angel) on desi TV or the web, only on international OTT.
“I am getting a lot of love for my character on social media.”
“We are like the cooks who use given ingredients to make a dish when about his inputs to the character.”
“The best part of our show is that its TRP rose when the IPL semifinal was on, and our time spent and reach also increased” said Shalin who has been around for years
Given the budgets, he does not think the West has the edge over us in the genre, “Everything depends on the story and the direction. It does not matter if you have 50 or 500 people. Even if you have just 10 folks behind, you can create romance; grandeur is not needed.” his known shows include Nach Baliye 4, Naagin 3, and Do Hanso Ka Joda etc
Shalin is out of touch with his Bigg Boss 16 housemates. He has yet to learn about the latest drama involving Sumbul’s Touqeer father and Fahmaan Khan. Mr Touqeer spoiled Shalin’s equation with Sumbul during Bigg Boss.
Apart from Bekaboo, he is also doing Jio Cinema’s crime thriller Inspector Avinash essayed by Randeep Hooda.” I have a parallel role with him and a song. This series, too, is getting lots of love.”
“I feel very blessed to be able to do different kinds of roles, which are getting huge appreciation.” ended he
