For some actors, it's the script, character or production house that attracts them to a project. But for actor Karanvir Bohra, it is the concoction of three Cs - character, clothes and cash - that decides his projects.
"I decide my work based on three factors. The first one is the character, which is very important as story keeps on changing. TRPs (Television Rating Points) decide the future course of the storyline, but that does not stand true for the character," Karanvir told IANS.
The actor, who is currently seen in Zee TV show "Qubool Hai", mentioned that the second 'C' has a lot to do with style and fashion sense.
"The second 'C' is clothes. I'm very particular about it as style is something you are known for and you carry that forward with the character. Like the producers of 'Just Mohabbat' found it difficult to fund my styling, but I used to tell them 'No worries, I will get my own stuff'," he added.
Karanvir has always left an everlasting impression on audience's mind -- be it for his portrayal of a violent husband in "Dil Se Di Dua... Saubhagyavati Bhava?" or the journey of a spoilt brat to a lover boy in "Kasautii Zindagii Kay".
The actor minced no words in accepting that in the end, he is part of the glamour industry to earn money. "The third 'C' is cash, currency and cheque," he said.
After mentioning the deal breakers for him, Karanvir notes that he is a workaholic as "one can not fool around when it comes to work".
