Suyyash Rai trims beard for TV show (TV Snippets)

Actor Suyyash Rai has trimmed his beard for his role of Abhay Kunwar Singh in TV show "Rishta Likhenge Hum Naya".

"When I got the offer to play the character of Abhay Kunwar, I was really excited and was looking forward to it. But when I was informed to trim the beard, I almost had a nervous breakdown," Suyyash said in a statement.

Suyyash said he finally agreed to cut his beard short on his wife Kishwer Merchantt's advice.

"But on Kishwer's insistence, I went ahead with it. As they say, there is 'no gain without pain', so I gave in as it was important. I do miss my heavy beard, but I am equally quite excited about my new look," he added.

"Rishta Likhenge Hum Naya", aired on Sony Entertainment Television, also features Tejaswi Prakash and Rohit Suchanti.
