Actor Mohit Malik has finally found his ground and is going strong playing the compassionate doting father in an unconventional family drama Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala. The actor is breaking all the stereotypes in his current show.
A self-confessed introvert, Mohit prefers his own company on the sets and is often seen rehearsing his lines and writing piled up in his room. Touted as the no-nonsense actor, Mohit clears air around his no-nonsense attitude, "Acting in a TV daily soap is like riyaaz for me. It's my place of work & a place of worship for me. My job is to give the best of me between action & cut. I prefer using the break to rehearse my lines & write down the inner world of the character & emotions. Writing has helped me express better. When you understand what you're doing, it shows. One must always be prepared, aim for the first take to be the best."
In times when TV actors aim to make a place in Bollywood, Mohit has a different perspective, "Films are definitely on my mind. I work every day to change this very perception of Indian television. This is why I don't connect with people who degrade television and themselves in the process. I agree the format is different but the work is the same. It can get monotonous but we work on a TRP model. Also as an industry, it is well paying. Television is tough, it tests you as a person & your patience too but it has given me many great opportunities. One thing I know for sure is that if in this short span of time that is TV since you're always pressed on time due to deadlines, I give my best. So in films when we have a good amount of time to prepare, I'm sure I can do wonders."
