Exclusive! Yash Tonk on Swaran Ghar ending on November 11: This is my shortest stint on a TV show. It’s indeed disappointing

When Yash Tonk was introduced on Swaran Ghar on October 25, little did he know that the daily soap would wrap up in a few weeks’ time. The show is ending next month. Understandably, Yash is disappointed but is also accustomed to such overnight developments. He says, “That’s how television works. It’s quite sad. I didn’t know it might go off air. Around a week after I started shooting for the show, we have been told that it’s shutting down on November 11.”

He adds, “It’s disappointing for any actor because so many people bank on a show. I have been a part of the industry to understand that it is not unusual. Also, as an actor, I can’t do anything about it. It happens to great shows also. One has to be prepared for everything. All I can do is give my best till the last day of the shoot. I made the character (Baljit Singh Bedi aka Balli) spicy and it’s good to experiment.”

This is his shortest stint on a TV show. He says, “Yes, this is my shortest stint on a TV show. Because I didn’t know about it. I would be a part of it for three weeks. If I know that a show is ending soon, I would not like to be a part of it. If it was expected to get an extension had the ratings gone up, it would have been a different case altogether. But the channel has made its decision.”

Ask him if he will again take a break before he takes up another show and he replies, “I will wait for something nice to come my way. I want to be a part of a mature love story.”
