Veteran Actor Manav Gohil Embraces Villainous Roles for Creative Freedom

Manav Gohil, a veteran Indian television actor, has embraced playing negative characters, believing they offer more scope for experimentation and creative expression. Gohil, who has been a steady presence on the small screen for over 20 years, is currently seen portraying a villainous role in the show Binddii.

The actor explains that negative characters are not bound by moral restrictions, granting them more freedom to explore the depths of their performance. "Negative characters have more scope because they are not restricted by morality. When a character isn't tied to the lines of good and bad, there's room to push the performance further," Gohil says.

While Gohil was previously typecast in romantic and action roles in his early career, he did not mind the typecasting, as those genres never get old. However, the actor now feels that the industry has not pigeonholed him, and he has been fortunate to take on diverse roles that challenge him creatively. Gohil's only limitation is when he is given weak writing or regressive dialogues, which he tries to rewrite to bring a fresh perspective to the character.

Overall, Manav Gohil's embrace of negative roles showcases his commitment to constantly reinventing himself as an actor and his desire to push the boundaries of his craft.
