Mumbai, Jul 11 (IANS): Actor Manmohan Tiwari shared that he has put on weight and has even coloured his hair to make himself look older in the show ‘Mishri’.

Speaking about the preparations he did for his role, Manmohan shared: “To prepare for the negative lead in this show, I have gained weight and even grown a belly. I dye my hair daily to make myself look older and meet the character's demands.”

“This effort is to ensure that the character stands out and truly comes to life, conveying exactly what it needs to and leave a strong impression on the audience,” he said.

Manmohan has mostly played negative roles on-screen, however, he mentioned that he has done positive roles as well in shows like ‘Gudiya Humari Sabhi Pe Bhaari’, ‘Hum Hain Na’, and ‘Jai Bharati’.
