Ankit Raj, who starred in Laado-2 and Ascharyachakit, has submitted his paperwork for his ongoing TV show, Garud, in order to further explore the film and OTT spaces. The young actor believes that switching to films and OTT is the best course of action after performing in eight shows over the course of seven years.

“I have quit the programme and am completing my notice period because I want to concentrate on my upcoming film and web series as well as new jobs. Currently, I want to focus on other media and take a break from TV, therefore I need to avoid the daily soap drill, the actor claims.

Raj left his native Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, to pursue modelling. “I intended to do it. In order to use it as a return ticket when I travelled to Delhi in 2009, my mum offered me 350. By God’s help, I am currently living comfortably in Mumbai and driving a foreign luxury car, but there is still more to be done.

He remembers receiving a call from Mumbai regarding the 2014 movie Karle Pyar Karle, and by the time it was released, he had received Qubool Hai (2015), beginning his TV career.

His little experience with the internet inspired him to pursue it more seriously. “Although my first web movie, Ascharyachakit (2018), was intended for adults, it was warmly received and I still receive letters about it from all over the world. Then I completed Qubool Hai 2.0, a web series with a limited run that I really enjoyed. My acting career took off on the internet even though I learned everything the hard way on television and am very grateful for the medium.

“TV is a lot of work, but then you’re there shooting crazily without a direction,” Raj continues. I had the ability to live the persona I was playing in movies and television shows. I am portraying a passionate young Muslim student leader, the parallel lead, same like in Karan Razdan’s film Hindutva. So, throughout the entire shoot period, I had a tonne to learn and practise. Similar to this, I play the boyfriend of the slain girl in the murder mystery series The Case of Gill, thus I had a lot to add to my character. It’s now time to take a small move forward.

He continues, “Someday, if I get a reality programme like Khatron Ke Khiladi or a finite series, then I would love to do that, presumably remembering the phrase “never say never” in the process. But enough of these everyday soap opera sagas already… I’m holding off on starting any potential new projects for the time being, although I might shortly begin filming a series.
