Aashay Mishra Lost Weight To Gain Role

Jyothi Venkatesh 

A good actor doesn’t just adapt to his character but gets into its skin, literally. We have seen a number of such examples on the silver screen, Aamir Khan being the master of this art. With every different character, he looks like a new person. Newcomers seem to have learnt the trick quick.

When Aashay Mishra aka Omkar from Star Bharat’s Pyaar ke Papad auditioned for the show, he was asked to lose a few pounds as he was playing a bank employee and had to don a corporate look. He worked out a little extra hard and had to follow a diet plan, since the makers had a well-defined imagery of the character.

Speaking about this, Aashay said, “I was ready for anything when I got this role. Though I was not used to heavy workout sessions, I learnt it from my trainer and within months I achieved my fitness goals.”

Catch Aashay as Omkar in Pyaar ke Papad every Monday to Saturday at 7:30 pm  on Star Bharat
