TV actor Ashish Sharma, seen as Ranveer in "Rab Se Sona Ishq", says nervousness is the key to a good performance.
"Whenever you give a shot, the nervous energy in your stomach is the key to that emotional breakdown, that kick that is needed to perform," said Ashish, an alumnus of actor Anupam Kher's Actor Prepares institute.
"If you don't have that kick, that means you are not made for this (acting)," he told students of the academy during a talk.
Ashish made his debut with "Gunahon Ka Devta" and later gained popularity through the show "Chandragupta Maurya" where he played the lead.
He has also played a small part in Dibakar Banerjee's film "Love Sex Aur Dhokha."
"Even when you are 50, ask Kher saab (Anupam) as well, you will still have the same high, same kick everytime you go to give your shot," he said.
