Don’t underestimate TV stars: Angad Hasija

My onscreen image is that of an ideal son and off screen, too, I am noncontroversial. So my peers, family and friends were shocked when they saw the photos. They said, ‘What was the need for a nude shoot?’ ANGAD HASIJA, ACTOR

Actor Angad Hasija’s recent posts on Instagram have created quite the buzz. The Waaris actor shot for photos that were revealing and suggestive. “One of them is quite bold and almost nude (laughs). I had done this shoot few months ago, and had been putting up photos one by one on the social media. The concept was to shoot photos that stand out, as every other actor today has a good physique and does a sexy photo shoot. I wanted my look and photos to be unlike what I had done before.” In his attempt to get some attention and do away with a typical shoot, Angad is glad he chose to be “daring” and is “loving the attention” coming his way. “The shoot was aesthetically done and though there are a couple of nude shots that are naughty but not vulgar,” says the Bidaai actor. Angad broke his good son image with the grey role he played in his last TV show Waaris, and is glad to receive positive feedback for his sexy shoot. He adds, “My on-screen image is that of an ideal son and off screen, too, I am noncontroversial. So my peers, family and friends were a bit shocked when they saw the photos. They said, ‘What was the need for a nude shoot? You don’t require a sexy image in the TV industry.’ In Hollywood, skin show is normal. In Bollywood, too, stars have done sexy shoots. So why not TV stars? Don’t underestimate TV stars or the TV industry. Today, the biggest names from the film industry are part of television shows and several films are promoted on the small screen.”
