Fahmaan Khan: I think male, female TV characters need to be shown the same depth

Asked if he thinks male characters in Indian television have been shown with more depth in recent times, Fahmaan told IANS: “Yeah, I think so. I think there is a more human touch to a male character.”

“Talking with personal experience, the character that I did recently, when we were seeing Ranbir Singh Bajwa,was very human and the characters that I've done before were also very human. And a lot of emotions, a lot of depth, a lot of truth to the character's journey. And when that happens, I think people connect to it a little more.”

The actor agrees it should happen more.

“So yes, it has been happening off late and I think it should happen a little more. I think both male and female characters need to be shown the same depth, so that people can relate to both the characters as much as they can.
