D Fashion: How did you land your role in Mr Filmistaani?
Sharib: While the director of Filmistani, Mr. Nitin Kakar was penning down the script and I was assisting him. And he happened to mention that you would perfectly fit in that role.  I thought he was joking but was taken by surprise when the producer selected me form the audition and I ended up writing the dialogues of the movie as well (laughs)
 
D Fashion: You were outstanding in Darbaan, how did it feel to play a mellow character compared to cop roles?
Sharib: Darbaan is a very special movie for me and it’s the most challenging role I have ever played as there were 3 generation characters to be portrayed and so many shades were involved. And I was honored to work with Mr. Nipin Nadkarni whose creativity knew no boundries, he is the Director who is a national award winner and Darbaan was his first Hindi movie and the movie turned out to be so beautiful 
 
D Fashion: Jk was a ground breaking character, how did you get zeroed on?
Sharib: When I first auditioned the role, my character was to be named Ghosh, a Bengali character I asked the casting assistant, Raghav to Mukesh Chhabra that if I could portray a Bengali role. Upon audition and selection, they told u don’t have resemblance to a Bengali man, so they revamped the character to JK Talpade a Marathi character which suited my persona and the rest is history ( All smiles)
 
 
D Fashion: Your favorite movie role played yet
Sharib: It would be undoubtedly be Filmistaan as its closest to my heart and garnered and bestowed me magnanimous fame

D Fashion: Will viewers get to see you in Asur 2?
Sharib: My character dies in the first season, but you might see a fleeting flashback
 
D Fashion: Tell us what we can expect in Family Season 2?
