Mohnish returns to television after a long hiatus as a Sutradhaar for crime series "Hoshiyaar..Sahi waqt, sahi kadam" which will be aired on &TV. "Its not easy as emotionally whole day you are subjected to negative emotions and crime. It's difficult to do a show like this. When we talk about negativity through crime it has an effect on me. Its not a comedy show that I am enjoying myself," Mohnish told PTI.
"But the purpose of the show is to avert the crime and change things in a better way. I think if you don't feel empathy for what happens your performance won't come true as a host. The audience should believe what you are saying or talking," he said.
The concept of the show appealed to the 55-year-old actor who thinks the show addresses day to day issues in a positive manner and emphasizes on the preventive measures rather than glorifying the crime.
"This is the first time I have come across a show that deals with events leading upto the crime, averts the crime than showing what happens post the crime. My job is to convey the content of the show to the best of my ability," he adds.
The "Hum Saath Saath Hain" actor is aware of the crime that happens in our society and he feels saddened about it. "I think as society we tend to desensitise and it's sad. It's a fact. Like female infanticide, sex determination test and all is done even today and its unfortunate. We need to fight and I think shows like this would help," Mohnish said. He does hope this show will bring the crime rate down.
"I would get feedback from the makers, channel whether the statistics have altered or not. I would be happy if the statistics decline. Post Nirbhaya (rape) case I think crime of this nature has gone up also. There is a social movement against crime like this and its getting reported as it has come to the fore. I hope things change," he said.
