Television is bigger than films now: Aarya Babbar

Aarya, son of actor-turned-politician Raj Babbar, has done a mythological show “Hanuman” and was recently seen in an episode of a horror show “Darr Sabko Lagta Hai”, hosted by Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu.

“Acting is my profession so it doesn’t matters to me whether it is a mytho show, reality show or a horror show. One should have the intelligence to play the character,” the 34-year-old actor opined.

“I was very keen on taking up the project. Shooting for “Darr Sabko Lagta Hai” was very exciting… Its an opportunity to be part of a horror series for the very first time. I do believe in supernatural. In real life I am afraid of ghosts,” Arya added.

In the episode, Arya plays the role of a psychiatrist, Doctor Ashwin Sood. He will be working in an asylum, and evaluating a court case involving a psycho patient who is admitted to cell number 13.

Eerie happenings in the cell lead to haunted nights where the patient encounters a woman’s ghost.

Meanwhile, Arya has two films in his kitty – “Chalk and Duster” and a Punjabi film.

“‘Chalk and Duster’ is releasing on the 15th of January where I play the main negative role. The movie also stars Shabana Azmi, Juhi Chawla and Jackie Shroff. My next project is a Punjabi film,” he added.
