Following the footsteps of Iqbal Khan is none other than singer turned actor Amit Tandon. Yes, he too plans to ditch the bachelors brigade and believe it or not, may bid farewell to Balaji!!!

Amit (who plays Manthan in Kyunki...) has plans of drifting away from the television industry and go back to his first love, music for which he has been gearing up all this while.

"I will be leaving for New York on the 22 December and my marriage is slated for the 6 January. The recording for my album will commence post January. So certainly I won't be able to give enough time to the show. I haven't had a word with Ekta as yet. She is sure to be either supportive of this or will ask me to get lost, and I am prepared for both!" says the actor. He is very confident about his upcoming albums and asserts that this is the right time for him to take them up.

He admits to the fact that television is merely a platform for most of the actors who wish to enter the film industry. "Everyone is not a Shahrukh Khan, who can keep dabbling from television to films, and back again to television. I definitely want to try my luck in films, but let's see where my fate takes me," says Amit.

The actor's wedding preparations are in full swing. "My financial balance is in negative now! I have shopped to death," affirms the actor.

To woo his lady love, other than shopping for AD Singh's designer attires and an aesthetic diamond ring, Amit's style of proposing Ruby (his fiance) was very very different. "Two weeks ago, Ruby (his fiancee) was on the sets of Kyunki.. while I was shooting. I took all my co actors in confidence, and decided to propose to her for marriage in between one of my scene. And so it finally happened! I recited my dialogues and slowly moved towards her when the cameras were rolling. I went on my knees and proposed to her. She was blushing all day long!"

Amit Tandon is looking foward for a big fat Punjabi wedding! "We will have all five functions, mata ki chowki, sangeet, engagemant, marriage and reception. I am all charged up for that!" affirms Amit.

Now all we wait for is a confrontation between Ekta and Amit. Will sparks fly or will it be an amicable seperation? Watch this space for more!
