This
is one man who's happy with the deal God
has given him! His sentences are punctuated
with the word 'fantastic' and he's enjoying
every bit of the adulation that he's getting.
Kamal Sadanah is the complete rockstar
in the truest sense, not only because he's
charming and down to earth, but because
he has chosen to take failure and pain in
his stride and moved on, keeping only the
good things in mind....and realised his
true calling! The actor is currently doing
Kasamh Se, Kaisa Ye Pyar Hai and
Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii.

Ananya Sengupta spoke to the elusive
star, who refused to take calls on the sets
of his shows, but called back later, keeping
his promise!
"I am having
a fantastic time"
I am today busy doing three Balaji shows
and really it's fantastic. I'm having a
great time! Maybe I'm saying all this because
I am new and still to expereince the hectic
life, but as of now, I am happy! My track
is increasing by the day and what really
started as a guest appearance has now a
whole new dimension. I am happy that my
work's being appreciated.
"There's
no such thing as 'I didn't get my due!'"
We are all responsible for what we get.
I can never get back the young blood or
the age that I had when I entered the industry.
There are certain things that can happen
only when one's young!
"I signed
a bunch of bad films"
I never had anybody to guide
me! I signed bad films and paid the price.
I don't regret them because they gave ne
a brilliant lifestyle for sometime, I didn't
have to worry about finances and I had absolute
independence. I could travel, go water rafting
and also explore my spiritual side!
"Marriage
has changed me"
Marriage has made my life! It's
totally the greatest thing that has happened
to me. And now with another baby on the
way, life couldn't be better!
"With Karkash,
I have explored the new Indian woman"
Karkash talks about male
chauvinism. There I have explored my own
relationship with my wife. It talks about
the challenges that the woman faces in the
present day and age. I have tried to expose
the double standards that exist in the society!
"Dingy advised
me to try out television"
Dingy, (Amrita Singh) advised
me to try television. One evening couple
of months later, I was offered the role.
I didn't discuss anything, just the character
and in two days time, I was on! And two
months down the line, I am still here!

"Balaji doesn't
pay me for taking calls on the sets"
I think it's unprofessional to take calls
on the sets of the shows I am doing! It's
not because I enjoy having journalists chase
me, but because, I think it's unfair! I
don't think
"I haven't
spoken to Ekta Kapoor yet"
I had known Ekta during my school
days. But I haven't spoken to her or met
her since! Now, I am doing three of her
shows, I guess I am just plain lucky!
"There should
be an award for the creative guys at Balaji"
I am totally amazed at the way
that the guys work here! They change tracks,
complicate things and not only manage to
remember what's happening in the different
tracks, but also manage to sort them out
finally!

"The actors
here make no fake efforts to be friendly..."
All the actors on the sets of
these shows made me feel amazing when I
first started out. They treat you as if
you are the latest member to join the family.
They helped me to adjust to everything around
me. They are very professional, they come
on time and kleave when their work is done!
"I will not
do movies again"
No movies for me ever again!
I'm happy with what I have.
