Ashish Chaudhary was known for playing the role of curious detective genius on the television show of the same name. The actor who turns 40 today, July 21, 2018, is all set to be back on the small screen through the sequel Dev 2. The actor believes his character has taught him that he can do many roles. Wishing Ashish a very happy birthday, let's read about what he has to say about playing a genius detective and how it has impacted his life.

Talking about his dedication towards playing Dev, Ashish told in an interview to UNI, "Dev has taught me how to give my life to a character. I am not from a film industry. I am an outsider. Somehow I have come into this line. But in the initial stage of my career, I took a lot of roles for granted, I didn't work hard enough. Today I have reached a stage where I know how much input I have to give in to a character. So with Dev, I have got into literally. I have got notes on my phone. I took care of everything about how Dev looks, how he raises his eyebrows, how he bites his lips, his sitting style, his walk, his voice--which is a bit modulated,".

When asked what made him take up the role of Dev, Ashish said, "In India, we wait for the reaction of the audience. Somewhere down the line, I feel the conviction is not there 100 percent. That's why I am a part of this show. Here the conviction was very strong. At least this channel has the guts to jump from biweekly to daily. I think to an extent we do take a beating for the presentation of the show".
