I can’t bear the tantrums actors throw: Mohnish Behl

Actor Mohnish Behl is back on the small screen and yet again in a doctor’s avatar. Though his new show Kuch Toh Log Kahengey is more about a mismatched love story, unlike his earlier show Sanjeevani, which was based on the lives of the doctors.

This time around, the show deals with a slightly mature subject of a love story between a middle-aged man and a relatively younger girl.  “Firstly, the show I feel emphasises on trying new concepts and going beyond the cliched. It is a mis-matched love story of two people. And the big twist is how although they are different in every aspect,  even their huge age gap, they start loving each other. The story is how the chemistry unfolds and  goes beyond,”says Mohnish.

The actor has been one the few stars who manages to balance both films and TV effortlessly. But while, he’s comfortable as an actor, he reveals that he’s not looking at turning producer anytime soon explaining, “I can’t bear the tantrums actors throw! I am a content man so I don’t want any additional workload.”

And how about handling loads of attention that he seems to keep getting from the opposite sex? “I really feel embarrassed when they compliment me saying I look hot or charming. The most shocking reaction was from my 18 year old daughter who came to me and said ‘Dad, I think you really look hot and smart!’ I just feel she took 18 years to realise this!” smiles Mohnish.

Having hosted a couple of reality shows, what does he feel about participating in them? “I’m not an extrovert and these shows don’t interest me. Even dance or singing shows are not something that I am good at! My years of film work is a proof of that. I can act and can be a good host, rest I don’t think, I will be good at,” Mohnish adds.
