Krushal Ahuja: There is no fear of getting typecast

Krushal Ahuja, who began his career in regional television before shifting base to Mumbai in 2017, rose to fame with the TV show Jhanak. Now, he is gearing up for his next project titled Bindi, where he will be seen in a negative role.

When asked if he fears being typecast, talking to Mumbai Mirror, he says, “I don’t think doing a negative role will typecast an actor. For me, if the story connects and it’s justified, I don’t have a problem playing a negative part. This is a jackpot because I am still playing a hero, but with negative shades.”

Sharing more about his character, he adds, “This is the first time I’m portraying such a dark character. My earlier characters were flawed but good at heart. Aviraj is different. He lies, cheats, steals and runs illegal businesses. He has no guilt.”

While television has given him recognition, Krushal is clear that he wants to explore other mediums. Movies are definitely on his mind. He shares, “Doing a daily soap was never my plan. Movies have always been my dream. But things happened and I am happy with the exposure I got. Television has taught me a lot — it makes you prompt, sharp and hardworking. But there’s still that hunger for films and OTT, and I’m actively working towards it.”
