Sharad Kelkar recalls the time when lost roles due to his condition 

Fans are used to seeing Sharad Kelkar in bold, confident and tough roles. Known for his charismatic aura, Sharad is also a very impressive vocie actor. However, there was a time when he used to suffer with a stammering problem and lost roles due to it. He recently recalled a incident where he had to take 30 retakes before ultimately quitting the scene.

He said, "I used to stammer a lot, so modelling is fine, saying one line is fine because you do that after a lot of practice. But when it is about acting in a TV show or a film, it’s a different ballgame all together. I remember in 2003, I was signed for a Zee TV show. I wasn’t the lead but I was playing a very important character. One or two days passed by easily but on the fifth day, I got a huge one-and-a-half-page dialogue."

Kelkar added, "Either I was speaking very fast, or there wasn’t clarity or I was stammering. My director was patient enough to give me 30 retakes. Ultimately, he called me and asked what’s the issue. I said I won’t be able to do it and he should take someone else. He also understood that I was being honest. Finally, I was replaced on this show."

Since this incident Sharad has improved so much that he even provided voice of the titular characters in the Hindi dub of 'Bahubali' franchise.
