Mumbai, Aug 24 (SocialNews.XYZ) Actor Ayush Viz, who gained fame for playing Mohit in the iconic television show 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' has opened up about his bond with his former co-stars such as Karan Mehra and Hina Khan.
The actor got candid about his equation with Karan Mehra and Hina Khan, even years after their season ended.
"Karan and I are very close, we share a very special bond even after all these years. In fact, we met for dinner last week and it was just like old times, we picked up exactly where we left off," he said.
He added, "Apart from him, Hina, Neha (Saroopa), Nidhi (Uttam) - I am in touch with all of them, we have a little group and we keep checking on each other. Yeh Rishta gave us friends for life, not just co-stars. It's really unfortunate what happened with Hina's health, it had shaken all of us. She is such a strong and positive person, one of the strongest I know. We all pray and wish for her recovery. Seeing her fight this battle with so much grace and courage is truly inspiring for all of us."
On being asked if he would ever take up a controversial reality show like Bigg Boss like Hina and Karan, the actor said he finds the format scary.
"Bigg Boss is scary for me, to be honest.”
The actor said that the “format is so intense” that “you are cut off from the world, that scares me”.
Ayush said: “I would be more keen for something like 'The Traitors' maybe, that has more strategy and mystery to it. But yes, I have worked with Salman Sir on 'Race 3' and he is amazing. I think he will be the only reason I would ever even consider doing Bigg Boss.”
“Just to be in a show hosted by him again would be special. Otherwise, Bigg Boss is too daunting for someone like me," he concluded.
Apart from acting, Ayush, who has worked in shows such as 'Tera Kya Hoga Alia' and 'Janani', has also worked as an assistant/second-unit director with choreographer-director Remo D'Souza on major Bollywood feature films including 'Race 3' and 'Street Dancer 3D'.
Reflecting on how the industry has changed, Ayush feels his generation of actors missed out on the social media boom.
"The unscripted shows have really taken off now, and it's amazing to see. During our season of 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai', social media and these digital platforms were almost non-existent. We didn't have Instagram, reels, or all these opportunities to connect with fans directly. I feel we have definitely missed out on a goldmine of opportunity.”
He added: “Today actors can build so much through social media, brand collaborations and unscripted content. We were purely dependent on the show's TRP. If we had these platforms back then, our reach and growth would have been completely different," he noted.
