In an exclusive chat with mid-day, actor Aham Sharma, who was last seen in Sampoorna, opened up about his career choices, the evolving television landscape, and why many TV shows today struggle to survive beyond a few weeks.

Talking about how he chooses his projects, Aham admitted that decisions are often shaped by availability as much as passion. “Two things. It depends. If I have options, then these questions arise. At times, yeah, I did choose things which excite me. But at times, you need to do… you choose the best which is available,” he shared. For him, the core motivation remains creative challenge. “Whichever options I have, I try to do something which is in a way challenging as an actor. At this point in time, I feel there are roles which many actors cannot do… once you grow as an artist, you want to do something which challenges you,” he said.
