With all the OTT work that I have done and also the two films I did Pataakha and Sui Dhaaga I don't think I was a funny friend. I was a full fledged character. I don't fear being stereotyped, I have always broken this image of mine of doing anything actually." The actor was last seen in the web series 'A Suitable Boy' and 'Mafia'.
