`I have been lucky to have been able to show my versatility as an actor. 'Sasural Simar Ka' was my debut as a lead. It was a sophisticated character, from a royal family. In 'Thapki Pyar Ki', I played a rowdy character. Another show, 'Jiji Maa', was significant as after the first episode only, I got a call from the production house of Saurabh Tiwari for the show 'Krishna Chali london',` he recalled. Talking about his latest show `Guddan Tumse Na Ho Payega`, Abhinandan said: `I joined the show in September, and then there was a gap for a month. Now I am back in the show again. Aarav (his character) is a protective brother to Guddan, and to him, his sister is his world. I do look a bit different in the show now. Previously my look was a bit raw, but now it is more mature.`
He has been busy with multiple shows over the years, but there was a time when he had to go `door-to-door to seek work`.
`When I was modelling, I used to travel from Chandigarh to Delhi and used to go door-to-door to seek work. I have always believed that you can never be an actor by just sitting in an air conditioned room,` he said.
`I became the lead face in the world of modelling and then one of my pictures appeared in a film magazine and a production house spotted me. Though I was not selected for the role, that was my first exposure to auditions and I really liked the experience,` he added.
