Sharad Kelkar is one of the handsome and talented actors in the Television industry. Along with working in shows, Sharad has also played vital roles in several Bollywood films such as Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela, Mohenjo Daro, Bhoomi and Baadshaho.

The actor told a leading daily that he never gets worried about the number of offers he’s getting. “If you observe my career, I always do one positive role and then one negative. I don’t want to do limited things in the same category, so I am always reinventing [my onscreen image]. I may wait for six months but I ensure that I pick something different,’’ he said.

He also said that he never repeats roles on screen. “There were times when I was sitting at home [for six months] with nothing in hand, and I used to chill and choose between shows. I remember 50 shows came to me but I refused and said that I have already done this. Whether the money was good or not, I’ve not got repetitive,” Sharad said. 

When asked if this is the reason that he’s had a fairly good graph in films too, Sharad replied in agreement saying, “Yes, I guess that attracts filmmakers, to an extent. Also, when you go on set, you have to be honest, punctual, and prepared for whatever role you are doing. And then when you perform, the director also sees that hard work in your performance and that urge to do something new each time. Eventually, they start liking you, so it’s a formula that everyone has in their life.”

Sharad is a well-known face on television through shows such as Uttaran, Sinndoor Tere Naam Ka, Saat Phere, Koi Laut Ke Aaya Hai, and more.
