I am funny in real life, wish I get films to show that side of me, too: Arbaaz Khan

Owing to the kind of roles that Arbaaz Khan has played in films, one can mostly associate him with a serious image. Although he has starred in comedy films Hulchul (2005), Bhagam Bhag and Malamaal Weekly (both 2006), but his roles were not comic.

And the actor-filmmaker wonders why he is not offered fun roles as in real life he is a very “humorous” person. However, he is glad that he now has a talk show that lets him show his real self to the world.

“When I am doing a film, I am projecting a character. That is not who I am. The chat show has given me an opportunity to show who I am in real life. And I try to do it to the best of my abilities,” shares Arbaaz.

The actor, 51, says he is “candid and casual, funny and humorous”, but somehow, he

rues, “that side of me does not come out in films. I wish I get films, which show that side of my personality to the audiences.”

Arbaaz is currently seen in a web series titled Poison, and then, he is busy with Dabangg 3, being the producer — the first two schedules have been shot and the third one will begin shortly.

“The last couple of months have been very hectic for me, and in a good way. I am really enjoying keeping this busy. The thing is fortunately something interesting has been happening back-to-back in my career. So, I am in quite a good space. I am looking at different things. Let’s just wait and see where these respective projects take me,” adds Arbaaz.

And he does attribute this change to his positivity in his life in general. “I am keeping very happy, staying away from all negativity and that really helps,” he concludes.
