New Delhi: Actor Rohitashv Gour of 'Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain' remembered how, at first, he was hesitant to be a part of the programme because of his role as a flirty character. Beginning with the show's 2015 debut on &TV, Rohitashv has been playing the lead role. He plays the role of Manmohan Tiwari, a flirtatious neighbour, in the series. The series also stars Aasif Sheikh, Shubhangi Atre Poorey, and Vidisha Srivastava in the lead roles.
Rohitashv said: "I was sceptical of playing such a flirtatious character on TV. Initially, I was concerned about audience's reaction. But my wife, Rekha, persuaded me to take on the role, and here we are, eight years later, celebrating two major accomplishments.”
He said that his wife was the one who understood his work and supported him. He said, "She has always inspired me. My children have been my biggest supporters and critics throughout my career. Their advice and suggestions help me perform better."
When asked what characteristic Rohitashv Gour has with Manmohan Tiwari, he said: "Like Manmohan Tiwari, I am a middle-class man who loves his family and can commit to any extent to give them all happiness and love."
The actor added, "I come from theatre and have worked in numerous films. 'Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai' has given me enormous recognition. I don't think any other TV show would have given me the same level of popularity and satisfaction as an artist."
He expressed his admiration for the series and said that he would like to contribute in the show for as long as possible. He said, "Wherever I go, people recognise me as Manmohan Tiwari, and I am so proud and happy to play such an iconic character. As long as Bhabiji continues, I will be a part of this show. My top priority will always be this show."
The sitcom "Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai" airs on &TV.
