Mr Supranational Asia & Oceania 2017 Altamash Faraz to make his acting debut with a TV show – Times of India

After appearing in several music videos, Mr Supranational Asia & Oceania 2017 Altamash Faraz is making his acting debut with the TV show Yeh Hai Chahatein. The actor is presently shooting for the show in Goa, and will return to Mumbai next week, once TV shoots resume in the city. I will be entering as the male lead as there will be some changes in the storyline of the show, says Altamash, adding that he is getting used to shooting for long hours, as is usual for daily soaps. Each day is a learning experience for me. Everything happens too fast on the sets, and I am getting used to this pace of shooting. Whenever you get into something new, you do take time to adjust initially and the same is happening with me, but it has been a very exciting experience, he says.Altamash, a lawyer from Delhi, has been wanting to pursue acting since 2017, but ended up participating in the Mr India pageant instead. He says that it proved to be the best decision of his life. I studied law and never gave acting a serious thought back then. But after completing my studies, I realised that I want to try it, and began searching for opportunities. I came across the Mr India pageant, where I was the second runner up. I then went ahead to bag the title of Mr Supranational Asia and Oceania. It helped me not just get exposure, but also many opportunities. The best part about participating in a pageant is that you get to work on your personality, says Altamash. After winning the pageants, he says he was offered many shows in the last couple of years but wasn't convinced about any of the roles. I was never convinced about the content or the characters. Fortunately, everything about this show seemed right. I was never someone who shied away from making a debut with a TV show. I think if one has potential, one can find opportunities. Also, I feel TV is the medium that provides the most visibility to an actor, says Altamash.
