Abhishek goes on to say, “Everything about the character was appreciated, whether it be the look, the Haryanvi dialect that he followed or his mannerisms. I am happy to have finally got recognition as an actor.”

Abhishek had just wrapped up shoot for Kaisa Yeh Ishq Hai.. when he grabbed his next role on TV. The guy will now be seen in Frames’ next for SAB TV, titled Tu Mere Agal Bagal Hai (reported by us).

Talking on his new character, the actor adds, “It is a very promising character. The guy is a hopeless singer, trying to use his prowess in singing wherever he can. I am looking forward to the launch of this show, as it is a fiction show in the format of a non-fiction setup.”

Abhishek, we wish you more success.
