Actor Nishad Vaidya of Amita Ka Amit fame has spoken about returning to television with the newly-launched show Qurbaan Hua. The last daily soap he did was Bhaage Re Mann, which went off air in 2016. "The break was not intentional. I have done a few episodic roles in 'Code Red' but after that, there was a phase when I was not getting roles according to my wish list.

That was the time I used to feel very low and down. People often think that when one person is feeling low or depressed, it is mostly because of a heartbreak. But that's not the case," he said. Mahesh Bhatt on His Upcoming TV Show Dil Jaise Dhadke…Dhadakne Do: ‘Contrarian Viewpoint Is a Relevant Part of Society’

"As an artist when you know that you have the potential but nothing is happening according to your preference, you feel low. My parents have been a rock-solid support system to me and their presence and guidance helped me to bounce back," he added.

Speaking about his new role, Nishad said: "Alekh is only concerned about his own designation and wants to satisfy his own ego. Beyond that, he doesn't care about anything. I have been eagerly waiting to play a character like this. Alekh is a dark guy and I am learning a lot on the set. Playing Alekh is allowing me to explore my wings and fly."
