Just Mohabbat still has recall value: Vatsal Sheth

Television actor Vatsal Sheth talks about the continued popularity of his former show, Just Mohabbat, adding that a show need not be either a daily soap or a youth-based one to become popular; also talks about his equation with superstar Salman Khan.

He did a cameo in Salman Khan’s Jai Ho (2015) and earned fame playing a negative character in the TV show, Ek Hasina Thi. But actor Vatsal Sheth, who is paired opposite Drishyam (2015) actor Ishita Dutta in an upcoming drama series, is still remembered for his role in the 1996 hit show, Just Mohabbat.

“Just Mohabbat still has a recall value. Even today, people come up to me and talk to me about it,” says television actor Vatsal Sheth.

Vatsal says, “Just Mohabbat was a youth-centric show. It still has recall value. Even today, people come up to me and talk about it. The other day, Varun (Dhawan; actor) told me that he was a big fan of the show. People could relate to it.”

The actor feels that for youth-based shows to become as popular as daily soaps, the story has to “connect with the audience”. “You cannot provide random content. When viewers watch shows, they should relate to the story. There has to be a blend between reality and fiction,” he says.
