Actor Vikram Singh Chauhan did not fail to impress us with his character of Virat in Million Dollar Girl. And he is now back to win hearts with his next show on Star Plus; 'Jana Na Dil Se Door'. We got chatty with the actor about the show and his expectations from it. Read on.

How did you bag this show?

I was already doing a show for Beyond Dreams' Million Dollar Girl. So when that show was coming to an end, the producer approached me for their Star Plus show. I read the story and I really liked the character that was offered to me. I took a day's time to decide whether or not to do it. I went for the look test and the channel liked it. That is how everything fell into place.

Tell us something about Atharva.

Atharva is someone who is very raw and independent in life. He is someone who has seen a lot in his life. He is somebody who carries a lot of emotional baggage. That is why he has become street smart over a period of time. Other people have fooled his mother many times, so he is very protective when it comes to his mother. He is very focused in life as to what he wants and what he does not want. He also knows what ways to go to achieve his goals in life. That is how he is.

How similar or different is Vikram from Atharva?

The main difference is that Atharva is somebody who has a lot of emotional baggage and has seen a lot in his life. Thankfully, I have not seen so many downs in life and hopefully, I don't even have to. The similarity is in our thinking. Atharva believes that every individual is different and has his own individuality. He also believes that girls are no less than boys. They shouldn't just be at home and be surrounded by walls. They should make their own decisions. Parents are protective and that is understood. But they should not limit the choices that their daughter makes. They should not keep them in shackles. I too share the same thinking.

How do you influence Vividha?

As I said, that a girl should make her own choices, Vividha is very naive and innocent. She is only attached to her family. Not that it is a bad thing, but only being attached to the family is also not good. She is also very scared of them. Atharva has the mentality that she as an individual should decide what she wants to do in her life. That is when I meet Vividha and I show her the outside world. I explain to her that there is a whole world outside of her family, and I teach her that. That is where the main issue is.  The society does not approve of us being together because of the status and also the approach that I have. Also, the motivation and inspiration that I give to Vividha are not welcome by the society.

Is it love at first site for you and Vividha?

No. In fact, both of us hate each other in the beginning. She is super rich and I run a tabela. So there is absolutely no love at first site concept.

How is your off-screen bonding with Shivani?

We are very good friends off-screen. We have attended a lot of workshops together also. Whenever we have our break, we sit down and eat together. We have not done many scenes with other actors. We discuss our characters and life. Basically, all is well.

You are getting an opportunity to work with veterans.

I am loving it so far. Vineet Ji, Shilpa Ji, they are all very great actors. Even if I am not shooting with them and I happen to be on the set, I go and watch their scenes.  The ease with which they do the scenes, their dialogue delivery, their diction, and how they carry every scene is outstanding. I learn a lot from them.

What expectations do you have from the show?

Every artist wants his show to do well. I have the same expectations too.

Well, all the best Vikram. We too wish for your show to reach great heights.
