The past few months have seen him straddling the big screen and digital platform with ease — if his supporting act in Akshay Kumar's Gold was applauded, Amit Sadh also tasted success with his web debut, Breathe. The actor's latest offering, Baarish Aur Chowmein on Zee5, is also winning appreciation.

"It's a pure love story," says Sadh about the Tigmanshu Dhulia-directed short film that sees him reunite with Taapsee Pannu. In what can well be described as an unusual premise — Sadh's character Siraj hires his landlord's daughter Neelu to be his partner — the film poignantly depicts the loneliness that comes with city life. Sadh believes the script reflects the state of today's generation that is so busy running the rat race, it has little time to nurture relationships.
