As an actor, Niyati Fatnani (right) believes in breaking boundaries by playing a variety of characters on television. A-year-old in the industry, and she feels that at present, there’s more scope for an artist, as TV is now open to experiment­ation.

“Shows with interestin­g contents are doing well and getting appreciate­d. While makers are open to trying out new things, viewers too don’t mind watching something out-of-the-box. I feel lucky to be a part of TV at such an interestin­g phase,” she says.

The actor, will essay the role of a young and ambitious girl, Aru, in Yeh Moh Moh Ke Dhaage that stars actor Eijaz Khan playing the male lead. “I need to be convinced and be connected with my character before I play it on-screen. I also add my touches to the character and to do that, I draw reference from my real life experience­s,” says Niyati who doesn’t want to repeat herself. Niyati’s claim to fame has been the character Niharika aka Baby that she portrayed in D4 – Get up and Dance “Along with getting popular, I learnt a lot while working on my first show.”

Actor Chris Hemsworth (left) thought he had been fired when his Marvel character Thor didn’t appear in Captain America: Civil War. The 2016 movie featured most of the cast of Marvel’s ensemble cast — The Avengers, including Captain America played by Chris Evans, Iron Man essayed by Robert Downey Jr, Black Widow by Scarlett Johansson and Hawkeye played by Jeremy Renner, but Thor did not make an appearance. Speaking about his omission from the script, Chris said: “I was like, ‘What? Are we being fired?’ Marvel quickly reassured us, ‘No you guys have got your own journey going on, and in order for that to work you can’t be a part of this one.’ Look, it turned out just perfect because we got to do a whole different kind of thing we wouldn’t have able to do otherwise.”

Thor’s absence from the film comes as the superhero is set to be involved in his own adventure when his third solo venture Thor: Ragnarok hits screens in November this year. The movie will see the return of Hemsworth as the crown prince of Asgard, joined by his adoptive brother and nemesis Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston.
