Mumbai: Actor Mrunal Jain who was last seen in Naagarjuna- Ek Yoddha, is  back on the TV screen after a long break. The actor will be adding a new twist to the top-rated and highly popular show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai.

He will be back on the television screen after 5 years with Rajan Shahi's show in which he'll play a vital role that's crucial to the plot. Earlier Mrunal’s role in Uttaran as Vishnu was very popular.

Speaking about his role -- Dr. Kunal Khera in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai -- he says, "I feel so happy I'm overwhelmed to be part of this show. I simply cannot express in words how happy I am to be a part of the longest-running show. I'm so thankful that Rajan sir believed in me and my skills and chose me for the role.”

He also adds, "Every actor would love to work with shows that have run as long as Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. The show is already a brand in itself thus it's a great step to take in my career. As of now, I have entered as a surgeon who will cure Abhimanyu. Let’s see how the writers take the track ahead. Rajan Shahi has given a good spin to the story and audiences are enjoying every bit of it. The show  is a perfect combination of family emotions and relationships That’s what keeps the audience intrigued despite the show running for 14 years.”

When asked about his take on the content of the Indian television show, he says, "The content has changed but the audience still love to see the same old drama with spice as a fresher version.”

Looks are very important for actors. What is your take on that? “Yes, looks are important for an actor. However, at times it can go against you as the scenario has changed; With all the platforms, the approach towards casting has also changed so makers scripts are demanding more realistic faces."
Speaking about his dream role Mrunal says , "I would love to play a superhero. My son is a huge fan of superhero stories so I would like to play a superhero role that my son will enjoy too.”
