Beyond human form

Anirudh Dave is all set to rock the small screen with Sab TV’s new show Y.A.R.O Ka Tashan in which he plays Y.A.R.O, a 22-year-old robot. He has been seen in many shows before, including Mera Naam Karegi Roshan, Phulwa, Ruk Jana Nahin, Aaj Ki Housewife Hai … Sab Jaanti Hai, Yeh Hai Aashiqui, Ishq Kills, Bandhan, Suryaputra Karn and Janbaaz Sindbad. He talks about the show and much more.

Why did you decide to take up this show?

The concept of the show is completely different. It depicts the essence of friendship. And this is what made me take up this show; it is unique in its own way and has a very interesting concept.

What is your character like?

I essay the role of Y.A.R.O, a 22-year-old robot. Innocent and efficient, it wants to be a human. It has an artificial heart, which is very pure and innocent. He slowly understands his superpowers and learns to control them. He tries to understand human emotions, but sometimes misinterprets them, which creates unique stories. He has good intentions and tries to help people.

Are you open to doing comedy for the small screen?

Yes, definitely! I believe the genre of comedy should reach the next level in India. We need to be advanced in terms of concept and execution of our work. I’m personally open to working in all the genres and I believe being an actor we need to be open to all genres of acting.

Are you satisfied with the offers coming your way?

I feel very lucky, but I also think my hard work has paid off.
