If an actor is too good in the role they're playing, people start associating them with the character so much that the line between the actor and character gets blurred. While it's good in some scenarios but it has definately been a negative thing for actor Darshan Kumar. Darshan was recently seen in the Amazon Prime show 'The Family Man'. He gave a nuanced performance as Pakistani ex-military guy, Major Sameer.

Darshan recently revealed that some fans of the show believe that he is actually from Pakistan and he's getting angry and stupid texts from some of them.

In a recent interview, Darshan was asked to share the response he got for his performance. He said, "Actually, it's mixed. The film fraternity and fans, they're saying, 'you're looking so hot, you're looking so good, you performed so well'. I'm getting appreciation for my looks, for my acting, for my attitude."

He further added, "And then there are others who are saying slogans like, 'Hindustan zindabad, Major Sameer murdabad', or 'doodh maangoge toh kheer denge, Major Sameer Hindustan ki taraf dekha toh cheer denge'." He added in Hindi, "I've been getting so much hatred. People think I'm from Pakistan. They've forgotten that I'm Darshan, and I'm also from India. I'm an actor, and I'm just playing the character."
