Akshay Dogra’s a baddie, strictly off screen

Akshay Dogra’s antagonist act in the show Waaris has earned him many haters. Akshay admits that getting into the skin of one’s character has its downside because the negativity is difficult to shrug off. He turns to meditation and music to shake off his villainous streak and stay positive.

Talking about the same, the actor says, “In a bid to perfect their roles, I have seen many actors carry their characters back home, which I feel is not a very healthy practice. I am playing an evil man on the screen and if I start behaving like one in my real life as well, then I have had it. As it is people hate me for creating havoc in Amba and Mannu’s life in Waaris. I don’t want my family also to hate me. So I have consciously decided to stay away from any form of negativity in my life. I want to imbibe positivity and peace and I am taking active steps to ensure the same by listening to music and meditating.”
