    Actor Vishal Singh, who will next be seen as Naitik in the popular soap opera "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai", says he has no inhibitions in playing a father to grown-up children on screen.
     
    "I honestly have no qualms in playing a father to grown-up children. For me, it's the character that matters and Naitik is an extremely strong character," Vishal, who will replace Karan Mehra in the show, said in a statement.
     
    "I've been following this show since a while now. To be very honest, I am very excited to play the role of Naitik. Men like him are rarely found today and nothing better than playing an ideal man on screen who can definitely set an example.
