I would like to play a spooky prank on my wife, Neha: Naman Shaw

Laal Ishq is a relatively new concept bringing together two most loved genres by Indian audiences. What are your thoughts on it?

The concept is rather unique, it’s amazing to see multiple creative minds coming together to present such interesting stories. I have come across only few shows which offer romance and drama combined with supernatural elements. While both genres individually enjoy a loyal audience base, Laal Ishq brings these genres together and reaches out to both these audience sets simultaneously.

Can you briefly tell us about the character you’re playing?

I am essaying the character of a simple, middle-class married man, Dhruv. Happy with his life, he is eagerly waiting to be a father. He is willing to go to any length in order to provide his child with a better life and to protect his family.

Your favourite supernatural web series? And why?

‘The Dark’ is my favourite web series because it doesn’t just categorize as horror or a supernatural show, but it also portrays the importance of relationships.

Do you believe in supernatural elements? Have you ever experienced anything supernatural?

Growing up in Kolkata, I have come to believe that supernatural elements do exist. I haven’t experienced anything supernatural myself, but I have heard first-hand experiences of people around me and always find such stories extremely spooky.

Have you ever played a spooky prank on anyone? If not, then one person you would want to play the prank on?

I abstain from playing spooky pranks, considering I usually get really scared after watching a horror movie. But If I were to, then I would play one on my wife Neha, because her reaction would be worth watching! Or maybe not, considering she will throw me out! (laughs)

One classic love story you would want to give a supernatural twist to? And who would you like to star with in that story?

Well, I like our classic love stories so I wouldn’t want to spoil their storyline. I’ve recently watched Dhadak, so I would have liked to see Ishaan Khattar’s character haunt Ashutosh Rana and company.

Your favourite actor from the millennial lot?

I have recently grown a likeness towards the Dhadak duo, Jhanvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khattar.

Apart from acting what are the three things that you’re good at?

I like to make people laugh and I have been often told that I'm good at it, so I would love to do a comedy show or a comic role. I also like to travel and explore places when I am not shooting.
