Khan as Anurag Basu in Star's Kasauti Zindagi Kay has been well
appreciated by his fans. In a twist of events, Anurag's wife Aparna murders
him in the serial only to resurface later this week. Prashant Golecha
caught up with the dashing actor to find out what makes him click.
What
was your first reaction when Ekta Kapoor told you that you will die in
the serial `Kasauti Zindagii Kay'?
I
didn't react. I had met the writer and he had mentioned about it. I took
it as a part of the story.
Did
you know if the character would resurface in the serial?
I didn't ask. Ekta and I are friends so there was no need to ask for any
sort of clarification. I was and am confident of my character and my show.
Why was your death not able to generate the hype which Mihir Virani's
death was able to generate for Kyunki…
Probably the death sequence in case of Mihir Virani,
happened for the first time in a TV serial in a big way. Now-a-days audiences
are used to seeing characters dying and coming back.
Are
you aware that the plot was created to counter Sony's `Aayushman' in the
same slot?
I am not aware. I am curious to know. Tell me more.
Are
you happy with your role in `Hum Do Hain Na'?
Ya. My character "Veer Singh" is flamboyant
and very different from the Anurag of Kasauti who is serious & sober
and always follows his heart. "Veer Singh" is a rich business
tycoon who's a flirt. The storyline and set up is different.
`Hum
Do Hain Na' also has a child star in a double role. So where do you fit
in?
I am the only male lead in the serial.
How's
the experience of anchoring `The Good Health Show' on Zee?
It was something I had never done before. I shot
3 schedules. In each schedule we shot for 13 episodes. Anurag's popularity
was the reason for which I was offered the role.
The
buzz that you and your co-star Gitanjali are contemplating marriage. Is
it true?
It's silly and baseless rumour. There is no truth
in it.
There
was a story doing the rounds that you were dating Shweta Tiwari and Gitanjali
at the same time.
I was very cheesed off, when I came to know about
it. Such stories disturb personal relations unnecessarily. Everyone has
a family.
You
mean to say you were not involved with Shweta Tiwari and you are not seeing
Gitanjali?
They are my co-stars and as well as friends. Just
because they happen to be women, people have linked us. I am also friendly
with guys but people don't link me up with guys.
If
you are offered a film how you will take it, as you are so busy?
I would like to work in a film. I will have to adjust
dates and re-schedule. But I am loyal to my current projects. I won't
leave just like that. I will finish my projects first.
