Mishal Raheja is an Indian television actor. He made his career in 2005 with MTV Show “Pyar Vyar”, then in 2007, he did a role of lover boy Akash in a love story opposite Payel Sarkar. He rose the popularity from his role as ‘Datta Bhau’ in a show titled “Laagi Tujhse Lagan”. He even played the lead role in a television series “Ishq Ka Rang Safed”, which airs on Colors TV. The show revolves around widows and their problems where Mishal played the character of Viplav, a lawyer who comes forward to help them and then begins the impossible but unconditional love of Viplav for Dhaani.
The actor was last seen almost a year before in “Ishq Ka Rang Safed”. Mishal is looking for something new, he said, “I want something in the romantic, action or thriller space. Sometimes, I like the story, but the producers don’t like me, and vice-versa… but I am itching to get back to work as I miss shooting.” He added, “I get upset when I am performing a serious scene and, despite repeated requests, the people around me don’t stop giggling and joking. But that’s for the betterment of the project. If that’s called tantrum, so be it. Such reports would upset me in the beginning, but I have no complaints now, as God has given me a lot.”
Moreover, he added, “This is not the only misunderstanding people have about me. They also think that I am a mehenga actor. See, am I wrong in asking for a hike in the second year of a show? Everybody, including the light boy, deserves a hike after a year. Having said that, work comes first and I would never arm-twist anyone.”
Talking about personal life, he said, “I was in a relationship but broke up long back because she was not from the industry. We both wanted to take our relationship to the next level, but it was not meant to be. Basically, my profession was a matter of contention. People don’t trust actors easily and no matter how much you try to convince them, they assume that an actor is frivolous. I couldn’t have nurtured a relationship in that environment.”
