Actor Vindu Dara Singh, who rose to prominence after his victory on reality show "Bigg Boss 3", is amused about being offered comedy or hero-like roles because he considers himself a perfect Bollywood villain.
"I prayed to Amrish Puriji that I want to play a villain's role. But I don't know what happened after 'Bigg Boss' that people started saying that they don't want me in a villain's role at all," Vindu told IANS here.
"They want me to play a good role. God knows when the fever of 'Bigg Boss' will die, and I'll get to play a villain's role. I consider myself a big champion in a villain's role."
He admits that his stint on "Bigg Boss 3" has given him his due in showbiz, but at the same time Vindu feels he can never come out of the shadow of his father, veteran actor and wrestler Dara Singh.
"I've added my father's name to my name, so how will I ever come out of his image? I think it's a blessing that I was born to Dara Singh. I have no regrets. I would never be able to come out of his image and I think it's great to be known as his son," said Vindu.
"I think having parents like Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) and Dharmendra uncle, their children would love to be called their children forever. It's an honour and for me, being known as Dara Singh's son is one," he added.
Vindu, who will now be seen as a judge on Colors' new children's dance show "Chak Dhoom Dhoom", made his acting debut with the movie "Karan" in 1994. He was in the capital to promote the dance show.
He went on to do bit roles in films and featured in various shows on Doordarshan. Later, he played Lord Hanuman in the serial "Jai Shri Hanuman", like his father did in the super-hit mythological serial "Ramayan".
He also played negative roles in soaps like "Ssshhhh
