Mumbai, April 1

Actor Sharad Kelkar, who essays the role of Arya in the television show 'Tumm Se Tumm Tak', has spoken up on his humorous side on the occasion of April Fool's Day.

The actor has shared that he likes to pull harmless pranks on people he is comfortable with. The actor told IANS, "People usually think I'm very serious, and I guess I am when it comes to work. But off-camera, especially with people I'm comfortable with, I do have a mischievous side. I've pulled a few harmless pranks over the years, sometimes on close friends, sometimes even at home, and the reactions are always worth it (laughs). It's never anything over the top, just small moments to catch someone off guard and share a laugh".

He further mentioned, "On set too, I enjoy that kind of lightness. We spend so many hours together that these little pranks and fun interactions help break the routine and keep the environment easy and positive. April Fool's Day is just a reminder of that spirit, but honestly, I believe a bit of fun like this should be part of everyday life, as long as it comes from a good place and ends with everyone smiling".

Earlier, Sharad spoke on his legacy of 20 years and being called the "TRP King" in the television industry. The actor recently attended the Zee Kutumb Nomination Party when host Jay Soni invited him on stage and hailed him as the "TRP King". acknowledging his incredible journey and consistent success over the years.

Reflecting on Sharad's remarkable journey, host Jay Soni said, "There are very few artists who rule the TRP charts. You were a TRP king 20 years back, and you are still ruling the TRP chart today. In every sense, you are a TRP king".

Sharad said, "It's all because of Zee TV. Twenty years back, they gave me a chance to be a part of their show 'Saat Phere - Saloni Ka Safar', and today they have once again trusted me with a beautiful show like 'Tumm Se Tumm Tak'. Talking about being referred to as a TRP King, all I want to say is that as an artist, I just work hard, stay true to my art, and remain dedicated. The rest is destiny's call".

Sharad was a part of the iconic show 'Saat Phere - Saloni Ka Safar', which went on to become one of the top-rated shows in terms of TRP at the time.

'Tumm Se Tumm Tak' airs on Zee TV.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I sometimes feel these 'fun side' articles are a bit PR-driven. Not saying it's not true, but it's a common narrative for actors around April 1st. Still, he seems like a genuine guy.

"As long as it comes from a good place" - this is the key! So many people take pranks too far. His approach is perfect. Also, Tumm Se Tumm Tak is a lovely show, he's doing great in it.
