What about ALTBalaji's show, Baby Come Naa, appealed to you?
I play a street-smart guy who gets lucky with two girls. He will do anything to keep them happy - from being their spot boy, cook and even their boyfriend. It is one of the naughtiest characters I have played. This is out of my comfort zone. The comedy has terrific writing and is helmed by one of the finest directors in the industry, Farhad Samji.
You've been stereotyped as a comic actor in Bollywood. Would it have made sense to break the image for your web debut?
While I would love to do serious roles, comedy comes naturally to me. People love watching me in comic roles, and as an entertainer, it's my duty to give them what they want.
