Aadesh Chaudhary: I've made a conscious choice to seek stories that challenge me

Aadesh Chaudhary, who has been part of shows like Maitree, Sasural Simar Ka, and Diya Aur Baati Hum, talks about how it is easy to get stereotyped as an actor; he needs to keep evolving and try different roles.

“Typecasting is real. I’ve experienced it more times than I can count. But every time I felt boxed in, I reminded myself of why I began acting in the first place — to explore, to evolve, and to engage with stories that move people,” he says.

He adds, "My role in Sasural Simar Ka started on a positive note, which later turned negative, and similarly it happened in Diya Aur Baati. After those shows, I got many such shows which started as positive characters and then went on a negative track. I even refused some shows due to that because I didn't want to do the same roles in different shows. There have been scripts that looked great on paper, but didn’t align with what I stand for. I don’t want to do something just for screen time."

The Yeh Dil Sun Raha Hai and Laal Ishq actor adds, "I’ve made a conscious choice to seek stories that challenge me. Characters that are flawed, vulnerable, and real. That’s where growth as an actor truly happens. Art has the power to disturb and to heal, and I want to be part of that.”
