       Talented actor Samir Sharma is quite excited about his new Star
       Plus show, Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon... Ek Baar Phir. The actor
       states, “I play the eldest son in the family. My character is
       more of a rebel; hence he does not join the family business, but
       rather becomes a journalist.”
       “One of the main reasons for me accepting this role is because
       each character has much more to offer. At present there is a lot
       of mystery about why the family is behaving in a particular way.
       Slowly and steadily the layers of each and every member of the
       family will unravel. At present the creatives are setting up the
       two main protagonists (Avinash Sachdev as Shlokh Agnihotri and
       Shrenu Parikh as Aastha Kirloskar),” expresses Samir.
       He does not want to get into why the show has been given the
       early evening 6 pm slot debate. “Time slot is the channel’s
       call. Having said this, I feel that our TVTs are increasing and
       we are getting a lot of online support. People are following the
       show and liking it as well. Only time will tell why the channel
       gave it the current slot,” he avers.
       Samir who has luckily done different roles in TV (Dil Kya Chahta
       Hai and Four) says, “This positive change is the result of me
       looking for meaty roles as well as getting them. However, I must
       admit that this trait of not going the conventional route has
       also meant that I have not done too much work. ”
       “You can say that I have been foolish in the money angle of
       letting go the per-day route. But money is the not the end of
       everything for me, had I just wanted the moolah, I would not
       have left my advertising job back in Bangalore.”
       Amongst all his characters Samir ranks his stint in Imagine’s
       Jyoti as the best. “It was an author-backed role having many
       shades. I used to be excited to come to work for I had something
       new to do each time. All other characters I have done turn pale
       in front of what I did in as Brij in Jyoti. Iss Pyaar Ko Kya
       Naam Doon... Ek Baar Phir is also produced by the same
       production house (Sphere Origins) and I fully trust them.”
       Remind him of his last Life OK show 26-12 and he says, “It was
       disappointing. I don’t know what went wrong. I guess viewers are
       still not ready for thrillers, let’s see how 24 does as it is in
       the same thriller zone. My character ended mid-way, to take the
       story ahead. I always knew it was going to happen. Sadly the
       numbers never came.”
       Samir, we hope you get your due as an actor with this show.
