Sidharth Shukla the fabulously talented actor recently got back to the acting space after a hiatus of three years with ALTBalaji’s series Broken But Beautiful 3. The series has been well-accepted by the audiences and as Agastya, Sidharth has had a great start to his OTT career.

In a conversation with IWMBuzz.com, Sidharth talks about his experience shooting for the series.

Excerpts:

How is sit to be back in the limelight as an actor? 

It is a great feeling to be back and act again, and that’s what you are set out to do as an actor. 

Tell us about the layers you got to portray in the role of Agastya in ALTBalaji’s Broken But Beautiful 3. 

I think the layers came from within because there a lot of experiences on the show which I could relate to, many moments of what Agastya was going through which I could relate to within my life.  When I heard the script, I could relate a lot with Agastya, and that was the reason why I accepted to do the series.

Broken But Beautiful as a series in its first two editions were benchmarks. So was there any kind of pressure within you?

Honestly, I want to say that unfortunately, I have not seen the first two editions of the series. But now, I get to hear that the two earlier seasons were big hits. I am so happy about it. I hope the same love and more will be showered on our season too.

How important is this role and series for you, considering that this marks your return to acting after a long time?

Each and every project that I do is extremely important for me.  Yes, I come back to fiction after three years and hence there’s a lot of nervous energy and anxiousness, but I feel that is important and needed.  That anticipation of the audience’s reaction keeps me going.

Take us through the amazing element of romance and heartbreak that the series has to offer. What can viewers look forward to?

Broken But Beautiful 3 is a very real story, one which is relatable, one which you will feel with your heart.  You will feel the character and their pain and that’s why it’s Broken But Beautiful.

In all these years, what are the different phases in which you have grown abundantly as an actor? 

 I think I have grown with each of my projects.  I have always wanted to pick up work that challenges me and the actor inside me and hence there’s always been a layer that’s been added with each and every project that I have taken up.

What are the kinds of roles that interest you now? Is there a dream role? 

I am looking to do things that I haven’t done before, be a part of projects which truly excite me, the actor inside me.

How do you think the medium of web has shaped up?

As an actor, I have enjoyed acting, irrespective of the medium. Coming to the OTT platform, yes, the web is the next big thing. There is a lot of content on the web, and it is a way forward for sure. It takes us all in and gives us such challenging roles.
