Hyderabad, Apr 12 (IANS): Telugu actor Sai Dharam Tej, who is seen playing himself in the web series "Nenu Mee Kalyan", says it was a new experience for him.

Talking about his experience while shooting, Sai said in a statement: "This has been a different experience altogether. Plus, playing myself was a really new experience. When you're acting, you usually have a character to hide behind. Playing yourself takes that away from you and exposes your real self to the world."

The first episode of the web series released last week, and Sai is happy with the response it has garnered.

He said, "It feels great to be a part of 'Nenu Mee Kalyan'. I am happy that the first episode has received so much love and hope everyone loves the rest of the web series."

Written and directed by Kalyan Shankar, the series tells the story of RJ Kalyan's search for true love. He is passionate about his job. He has a great family and a dear friend who sticks with him through thick and thin. The only thing missing in his life is the girl of his dreams. This series follows Kalyan's attempts to find his true love.
