Actor Shiv Panditt who plays a national champion table tennis player in the latest web series “Chargesheet: Innocent or Guilty?”, says he tried to portray the character with all its flaws to make it seem real.
“It is an interesting character not because I got a chance to play a national table tennis player but also my character of Shiraz Malik is that of an achiever who has a lot of flaws. He is slightly a male chauvinist pig (MCP). To the outer world, he is a champion sportsman who is hanging around with powerful people like politicians, members of the royal family and administrators, but he comes from a humble Muslim background and is married to a girl from elite society. So, he is trying to be the ‘man of the house’ and has a lot of insecurity. Basically, Shiraz is trying to strike balance in a different world,” Shiv told IANS.
The story revolves around the murder of Shiraz and how politicians get involved in the investigation of his mysterious murder.

Since he played a sportsman for the first time, Shiv had to go through due preparations. “We had a workshop and a training session. A national-level coach was hired to train me because I had to get my body language correct and had to do everything with ease,” he informed.
