“I wouldn`t like more characters like Sahil Sarabhai,” said actor Sumeet Raghavan when we asked him about his popular role in Sarabhai vs Sarabhai. The actor’s answer took us off guard as we tried to wrap our heads around it. In an exclusive interview with mid-day.com, Sumeet discussed the highs and lows he endured in his career spanning 40 years. He shed light on the stigma attached to television actors, not working in the OTT space, and more.
The actor gained a lot of appreciation after playing Sahil Sarabhai in the popular sitcom ‘Sarabhai vs Sarabhai’. But when asked about wanting to play more such roles, Sumeet shared that he wouldn’t like to take up any such character. Sumeet said, “No, I wouldn`t like more characters like it, because Sahil Sarabhai is the only one. I want to do something else, you know, like Rajesh Waagale, which I am doing. Or I did Vasanth Ghotala. But I wouldn`t like to repeat Sahil Sarabhai anywhere because that`s a different show altogether.”
