New Delhi: National Award-winning actor Ashish Vidyarthi boasts of acting in about 200 films in multiple languages including Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam and Telugu, and is returning to the small screen after two decades. He has no qualms about featuring in a TV show as he believes that irrespective of the medium, actors are always on the lookout for challenging roles.
Ashish will be seen playing the main antagonist Roshan Sherchan, a drug lord, in the upcoming finite TV series "24: Season 2". Asked if he would like to do more fiction shows on the small screen, the actor, who has featured in the 1990s TV shows like "Dastaan" and "Kurukshetra", told IANS here: "Nothing is off the table... never for an actor. An actor is continuously looking for challenges. If I look at myself, I started from 'Is Raat Ki Subah Nahin', then went on to do commercial films like 'Bichhoo' and then I went down south.
"The exciting part is the journey of an actor. Each destination in my life is something that I celebrate. Depending on the genre that I get, I try my best to be honest to that genre," added the actor, often associated with negative characters.
