Actor Arjit Taneja, who became a household name after featuring in the show "Kumkum Bhagya", says a web series is good for experimenting with roles and projects.
"Some people say TV content is 'regressive', but everything is being shown in a web series.
You can stream mature shows also whereas that doesn't work in the case of TV.
I did a show called 'Pyaar Ko Ho Jaane Do'.
It was a mature love story and was nice but didn't do well on TV, " Arjit said here on Friday in response to a question by IANS.
"But if it will go on the web, I think it will do well.
If you want to do good work and experiment, there are web series.
They have an urban audience.
Balaji (Telefilms Ltd. ) has also come up with ALTBalaji (digital platform).
They have amazing shows, " added the fan of actor Ranbir Kapoor.
But he needs a strong and convincing script to do bold scenes.
"I don't want to do nonsense bold stuff.
There is no point in doing it as it might not have a story.
If there is a show and you have to present passionate chemistry, then why not?"
Arjit is currently seen as Vivaan, a shrewd businessman, in the new Zee TV show "Kaleerein".
"Vivaan is from London.
He is an angry young man and talks very less, " he said about his character.
Sharing more about the show, he said: "People tell girls that 'If you don't know how to cook food, how will you get married?
If you wear these type of clothes, it will be difficult to find a groom for you'. "
"The girl in this show thinks otherwise.
She wants to stay the way she is and not change for a guy.
That is the main message of the show. . . that girls don't have to change to get married. "
On TV shows being dominated by women, he said: "I wouldn't have done this had it (this show) been dominated by women.
His (Vivaan) story is completely different.
The reason why he has come to India. . .
There is a strong reason for the way he behaves.
There is a story revolving around him. "
He also had a great time shooting "Kaleerein" in Punjab.
"It was my first time in Patiala.
We were there for nine to 10 days shooting in fields, eating Punjabi food and having a lot of fun, " said the actor, who hails from Delhi.
The show offers an important perspective about marriage.
What qualities is he looking for in a bride?
"A nice girl.
Someone who will not try to change herself and is honest.
I will think about marriage after five years.
Right now my relationship status is single, " said the actor, who was linked to actress Mrunal Thakur.
