Marriage will have to wait: Namish Taneja

Namish Taneja is happy portraying the boy-next-door. The actor, who is currently seen playing the lead role in the TV show Mishri, says, “I enjoy playing the boy-next-door because I think people like me in such roles and I don’t want to change that by doing something drastically different.”

Namish says he has consciously avoided mythological and historical shows. He adds, “I have got many offers, but I have chosen not to be a part of them as of now. Mytho shows may have good content, but as far as the special effects are concerned, we still have a long way to go.”

On the personal front, Namish has been in a relationship for more than a decade with Aanchal Sharma, who is an entrepreneur. Ask him about their marriage plans, and he says, “I am mentally married to Aanchal, so it is just a matter of time before we take the plunge. I want to achieve my dreams before I can settle down and give time to my family. I am financially settled, but I still have to fulfil my dreams and Aanchal is very supportive. Marriage will have to wait.”

‘Crossing over to films is not easy’
Movies are on Namish’s mind and he even bagged a good project, but things didn’t work out. “I took a break from TV three years ago and was prepping for a big banner movie. However, I realised that it was taking time, so I decided to get back to TV shows. Crossing over to films is not easy and comes with many challenges, but I look forward to being a part of films, too,” he says.
