Talking about the apprehension he had before accepting the part in the show, he told in an interview: &quot;It wasn&#39;t easy. Nobody wants to play an anti-hero. In our society, it&#39;s all about being a good boy who people find cute and all. <img alt="Karanvir Bohra" src="/imagedata/2012/jun/Karanvir-Bohra.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 548px; " /> Karanvir Bohra on the show. Pic/IANS &quot;After &#39;Kasauti Zindagii Kay&#39;, I wanted to do something better and more challenging. There was no point doing any ordinary show. I knew the role of Viraaj was a bigger challenge. But at the same time, I was also scared of people hating me because of the negative role.&quot; Karanvir, grandson of actor-producer Ram Kumar Bohra, came into the limelight as Prem in Ekta Kapoor&#39;s show &#39;Kasautii Zindagii Kay&#39;. He was also seen in Aziz Mirza&#39;s &#39;Kismat Konnection&#39;. In &#39;Saubhagyavati Bhava&#39; he often gets violent towards his wife Jhanvi, played by Sriti Jha. Before starting to shoot for the show, he read a lot about this &#39;condition&#39;. &quot;It&#39;s a condition about which nothing can be done. This opened a lot of avenues how he should be. I started putting my own style, clothing sense and all. I made him stand out even though he is an anti-hero, so people loved him,&quot; he said. Even with the entry of Harshad Chopra (Raghav) in the show, Karanvir is not at all insecure about the significance of his role. &quot;It&#39;s a love triangle. Everyone has their own role. We three are the pivotal characters so nothing will get affected,&quot; he said. Talking about the violence depicted on the show, he said: &quot;We can&#39;t show all the violence and everything on screen. We just suggest it happens and generally don&#39;t show the gory details. But once the violence increases, we will have to show it in some way.&quot; As far as films go, he will be seen as the male lead in Hemant Madhukar&#39;s upcoming film &quot;Mumbai 125 Kms&quot; opposite Pakistani actress Veena Malik. It is expected to release in August. &quot;Right now I am finishing shooting for &#39;Mumbai 125 kms&#39;. Vedita Pratap Singh is also in the film. Madhukar is from south and he has made a couple of Telugu films,&quot; he added. Actors should branch out into other things as well, suggests Karanvir and adds that he sees himself as a commodity and tries to sell himself. After working in films and television serials, he now wants to make movies. &quot;An actor needs to diversify his capabilities and sell himself as a business. I am a commodity and I sell myself to the audience. It&#39;s important for actors to branch out in other businesses. There will be filmmaking in the future for me,&quot; he said.u00a0
