With over a decade in the entertainment industry, Shivin Narang took his time before choosing a script for his venture into the realm of OTT. Well-known from television, the actor is about to make his web series debut with ‘Aakhiri Sach’, an investigative drama centered around the tragic Burari deaths of 2018.

“I am extremely confident and happy about the choice I’ve made,” says the actor, adding, “I waited a long time for a project like this and when I heard the script, I was sure. I had goosebumps. But that’s how I work. I am very selective when it comes to projects. I only sign things that excites me as an actor and make me feel enthusiastic about going to the set every single day.”
Narang assumes the role of a fiance in the series, connected to a woman from the Chundawat family, who, along with 10 other family members, died by suicide. “I am playing a character that is closer to my reality and is intense. It’s a good change because so far, all my roles have been of good lover boy characters,” says the actor.
As discussions about introducing censorship in the OTT space to curtail offensive language and explicit content gain traction, Narang contemplates whether these aspects would influence his future project choices.
The 33-year-old tells us, “Main hamesha apne raaste khule rakhta hoon, so I won’t say I am averse to the idea [of intimate scenes]. There might be things I am not ready to do now, but two years down the line, I may get a project so good that I would agree. We, as artistes, grow with every single day.”
He emphasizes that his main focus is to select projects that won't discomfort his audience. “My audience consists of people from all age groups including the kids. So I would try to avoid things that they might not be able to watch together,” he asserts.
Nonetheless, the ‘Internet Wala Love’ actor is quick to note that the inability to watch a particular show with family doesn't necessarily imply any wrongdoing. “Just because you can’t watch it with your family does not mean it’s bad content. The reason is, we have grown up watching content with our family and hence that’s normal to us. Whether it’s TV or cinema, we have watched it together. But OTT has given us stories that are real, raw and unfiltered, which sometimes have to be watched privately. And there is no harm in it,” he wraps up.
