India, Jan. 17 -- From television to OTT and films, actor Sharad Kelkar has had a career stretching over two decades. In this time, he has played everyone from heroes to villains, from emperors to criminal overlords, and more. And yet, he admits there was a time when people in the industry were trying to limit him and his range. In a candid conversation with us, Sharad talks about his acting journey, choices, and more. Sharad's roles, both positive and negative, have seen him play suave, sophisticated individuals. And, he has carefully avoided being repetitive. "I've been refusing work left, right, and centre for, I think, almost a year and a half. I was sitting at home because I was getting the same kind of stuff. So you have to say no," says the actor who garnered parise for OTT shows such as The Family Man and Special Ops. Sharad recalls how he began to get many roles of police officers at the same time. "At some point, people were trying to limit me to a cop, maybe because of my personality or my voice. But you need to take a strong decision in life that, I don't want to repeat myself." The actor adds that moving from TV and films to OTT helped him avoid being typecast. "To be very honest, maybe because of OTT, I keep on shifting from this to that, and I try not to repeat myself. Sometimes, maybe the outer character is the same, but the shades are different."...
