Actor Rohan Gandotra has replaced actor Siddharth Shukla in the show Dil Se Dil Tak, which is based on the concept of surrogacy. Talking about getting the role, Rohan says he had no clue about the show's name until it happened. "I auditioned for some other show and later I came to know that it was for Dil Se Dil Tak. I had no idea that he (Siddharth) was being replaced. I know the basic plot of the show and I watched a few episodes on Voot,” he says.
Rohan, who has earlier been part of the show Kaala Teeka, is younger to Siddharth in real life. Does it matter to him that he will be portraying a comparatively elder character on screen?
"I think the character of Parth Bhanushali is nothing about the age. It's not about Siddharth or me I believe age is just a number, it's about the character. Siddharth has done an amazing job and I will try to do full justice to my character or maybe reach more," feels Rohan.
Although Rohan does not wish to personally comment on the issue of surrogacy, he feels it is an independent choice and one should not judge.
"Surrogacy has started a few years back and people are considering it and I don't think it's wrong. Actually, I am not the person to decide what's wrong and right it's totally people's point of view. If a woman is unable to conceive and opts for surrogacy, that is totally their call. As per changing times, I think people are changing with the changing technology and lifestyle," says Rohan.
This is also the first time, Rohan will share screen space with actors Rashami Desai and Jasmine Bhasin.
"Rashami Desai has done some amazing shows in the industry and Jasmin's performance in Dilse Dil Tak has been commendable and gained popularity. I have seen few episodes and I have also seen Parth and Shorwari's chemistry and I hope to justify that and work well. I have been a fan of Rashami's work in the past and Jasmin also. I hope I can learn from that also," says Rohan.
