Alok Nath talks about his Twitter trend, new show and family

Alok Nath-The ultimate Babuji recently was trending widely on Twitter for no reason. We have seen Alok Nath as a doting father, the talented actor got famous with jokes trending on Twitter about his characters which are so 'sanskaari'. Interestingly, the actor had took the entire trending drama as a complement and sportingly started promoting his so called sanskaars. Alok Nath in an interview also said that this trending thing has given a new arena to his career which was restricted to certain roles. But did you know how this entire twitter trend started? Well let's hear it from the man himself.

Alok Nath will be seen in Frames Production show on SAB TV titled 'Tu Mere Agal Bagal Hai' and to everyone's surprise he will be playing the ultimate father 'Babuji'. He will be seen cracking jokes on his 'sanskaar' and will play a true babuji. Alok Nath on bagging this role thanked the trend on the Twitter, "I take everything positively without getting offended as I think this has opened a way for me to try something different. Before this I was seen only in serious roles but due to this trend my debut in comedy happened."

Talking further about trying hands on different genre Nath says, "I am feeling like I have completed the circle. I started with serious roles, done a grey shaded role, did fatherly roles and now a comedy. I hope I do more different types of roles before I die. I’m truly excited to be a part of ‘Tu Mere Agal Bagal Hai’ and SAB TV. This will be my first tryst with a comedy TV series on the small screen. The beauty of the show is that it is filmed in front of a live audience and has an amazing star-cast. The satisfaction that one gets from entertaining live audiences has a different feel. We all know humor is evolving and I am positive that the audiences will love our show.”

When grilled about how the entire twitter thing took place and what was his family's reaction on jokes and tweets, Alok opened up, " I felt lucky that someone is investing so much of time on me. It has given a new way to my career." Alok further revealed, "When I got to know that I am trending on Twitter, I was shocked initially and was wondering why am I trending for no reason as I am not on Twitter or any other social networking sites. Only when my son told me that nothing serious has happened and jokes based on me are trending, I took a sigh of relief. I think the whole trend started as some movie of mine was aired on Sunday. I asked my son whether I should react something on this or no. He said if I would react the matter would have become more worse so he asked me to keep calm and enjoy what is happening."

On being asked whether he came to know who was the one who actually started the trend and jokes on him, Alok immediately said, " Yes! I met the guy, His name is Wilson Parera. Actually I was shooting for 9X channel and in between a guy from the channel came up to me with a guy and questioned me whether I know him or not. The channel guy asked me to guess who the other person was. And I was clueless as I didn't know him. Finally after waiting for a few minutes, he opened up the secret and told me that this is the one who had actually started the trend on the Twitter. My first reaction was I pulled my slippers and just did an action of throwing it on him. But actually I went up to him and hugged him. We clicked few pictures together and also thanked him.

Were your children a little cheerless when they saw jokes coming up on their dad? " Not actually, They were the one who told me what exactly the trending thing is. We all took it very sportingly. In fact when I actually went ahead to encourage jokes on me, they were a little hesitant on which I made them feel good." Finally! Alok Nath is all geared up for his comedy debut and hopes that audiences too appreciate his new comedy avatar.
