After Perfect Bride on Star Plus, it's time for Yeh Ishq Haaye on Star One for Yashdeep Nain. The educationally sound actor is really excited about playing the lead for the first time on television, and looks forward to the launch of his show.

In an exclusive tete-tete with TellyBuzz, the actor reveals about his draw towards this industry and shares the experience shooting for his new show.

Yashdeep NainHow was your life after 'Perfect Bride'?
Life has always been superb, no doubt about it. I was working in an MNC after the show and later on I took a small break during which I thought about the manner in which I should go ahead with my career and that's when I decided to get into this industry and I prepared myself for this.

This is your debut show as a lead, how do you feel?
I am really excited about the show and I am hoping a lot from this role and being the character. I am really putting every effort with respect to my performance.

A Brief about the character?
My character name is Ajay; he is an introvert and loves music. He loves playing instruments like Guitar, Drum and he also sings.

How is Ajay different from Yash?
Ajay is an introvert while I am not; I believe in living life to the fullest, but at the same time both love music and both are smart (smiles).

Any offers after Perfect Bride?
Yes, there were a couple of offers from the industry, but somehow it never worked and now my destiny has chosen me to be in 'Yeh Ishq Haaye'. 

How is it working with Star One team?
I have worked with both Star Plus (in Perfect Bride) and now with Star One and both are good and superb. I enjoy working with both the teams.
 
How is it working with Srishti and Raunaq, as they have previous experience in the telly industry?
Both are really good and great co-actors and we all have a blast on the sets. They both are very supportive and always ready to help me during the shoots and we do fight on the sets (laughs).

How did you bag the role?
I got a call from the coordinator and after several rounds of auditions they selected me and they asked me to sign a contract and I did.

You have done a reality show like Perfect Bride and now a daily soap; how different are the experiences?
There is a huge difference in both shows because in a reality show, you can be yourself and in a show like Perfect Bride you have to adjust with a lot of people because you are staying with them. The basic concept of a reality show is to entertain audience and you will get to know many people with a range of characters and sometimes you cannot adjust with all of them. In real life you can ignore them, but not in a show. But in a daily soap you are acting and there is a schedule that you have to follow and simultaneously you are having fun.

Now if a reality show approaches you, will you do it?

It totally depends on the nature of the reality show, Perfect Bride was one kind and there are other shows that I love watching like Khatron Ke Khiladi and Roadies which are totally different. I would like to do such adventurous shows.

Your upbringing?
I am basically from Haryana, but born and brought up in Rajasthan in a small town called Pilani, did my schooling from Birla Public School, then I joined Birla Institute of Technology and Science and I did my Masters from there. After my studies I worked in Gurgaon for one and a half years and then I came to Mumbai and took up a job as Product analyst. After working for more than a year, I jumped into Perfect Bride.

What made you get into this industry after being educationally sound and how did your family react to your decision?
I was always attracted to this line and when I joined my first company my seniors caught me in the looks and asked me "Kyun galat line mein aa gaye?" and my mom was very reluctant, because the career I was in, was very stable and successful and in a short period of time I was appointed as a Product analyst which is a really good position, but then I thought I should take risk in life. But this field is believed to be for those who are not educationally based, but I am safe in that matter as I have a proper base and I think I have taken a very calculative risk which has been really fruitful for me.

Your show is replacing Dill Mill Gaye, which has been very popular with the audience, are you apprehensive about how the audience would respond to this show?

When I was in school, there were people, who used to score better than me, and my aim was to prove my best and right now my aim is not to beat someone, it is what I am doing and what I am performing and giving my hundred percent to that.

Were you apprehensive about taking the character Ajay as you as a person are different from Ajay?

Life without challenges is really very boring and that's what I believe and that's why I have taken this as a challenge.   

Any message for your fans regarding the show?

When I went through the script, I really liked it and I thought in the audience's perspective and I felt it is entertaining. I am sure people would love the show and I really look forward for the comments on the show and it is really a room for us to improve.

honestly he is cool. I am watching this show just coz of him. I really like his character in the show. n yeah this is far better than dmg track which was goin on for last 6 months. thank God it ended. sorry for dmg fans but accept the truth. it was going low n thats why it ended!!!
What all r u mad about dmg? Karan S Grover? or lead actors chemistry?Com'n there should be some story in the show. but here, doctors play basket ball,dance in romance n very few times they remember about their profession LOL!
Though I was huge fan of dmg when it started but so many turns n twists changed my favoritism!

I think DMG fans need to give this a chance and accept that DMG's gone. This show looks quite promising so don't let it go to waste by being stubborn. He's Paruls boyfriend right?
I'd want to see what he's like :)
