“I Was A Little Skeptical In The Beginning”- Jay Zaveri On His Role In Apnapan

Popular Television actor Jay Zaveri plays the role of Shanky in the recently released TV show Apnapan. Talking about the show Jay said, “Shanky is basically a friend, philosopher, guide, and business partner to Nikhil Jaisingh, who is a famous chef. The relationship which I shared with Nick (Cezanne Khan) is amazing, on and off screen. The character is so different from the other characters which I have played on screen. My director keeps telling me to ‘bring in the shankiness to my performance’. The ‘shakiness’ means that a person can say anything, anytime without paying much heed to the situation. This character has taught me so much.”

Jay added, “I was a little skeptical in the beginning when I was doing this character. I did not like Shanky's character, his personality. I am generally a quiet person, I can't come up with jokes and I need my own time. I speak politely, respectfully. I had difficulties in playing this character. This is different from the other characters Which I have done before. This is more in the comic zone. The entire series is a family drama and Shanky is supposed to bring in a comical angle to this.” 

Jay is known for his shows like Meri Hanikark Biwi, Vighnaharta Ganesha, Ishq Main Marjawan season 2 among others.
