Yash
Tonk has been keeping a low profile post
Nach Baliye 2. The actor along with
wife Gauri were considered as hot favourites
on the show, but eventually had to settle
for the second best place. They lost to
Hussain Tina-Jodi by a close margin.
Looks like destiny had other plans for
him. Yash was offered Karaam Apnaa Apnaa
soon after NB 2, to fill the void
in his life. Adds Yash, "You won't
believe how hectic life has been for me.
After the NB 2 gruelling practice
sessions, Gauri and me wanted to take off
on a holiday; but with Karam life
took a different turn. Now, it's my new
work that keeps me occupied most of the
time."
Iqbal Khan, who played the suave Shiv
in Karam decided to call it quits and after
many names doing the rounds, it was Yash
Tonk who finally bagged the coveted role.
When asked about how it was stepping into
somebody else's role midway, Yash says,
"I would say, it's not a very easy
thing to do. It took me a week to put the
act together. Now, I would say I blend completely
into my character and it is pulsating with
my identity."
Yash is also been seen in Star's afternoon
soap Kesar, wherein he plays the
influential NRI Harman Khanna. Adds Yash,
"I don't have a major track in Kesar
these days, so it only takes 5 days
of my time. What really keeps me busy these
days is Karam's schedule. It's like
working round the clock"
Ask about his future projects, the actor
quips, "Ha…ha, I hardly have any time
to think on those lines. I believe in committing
to new work only when I can focus on it
fully. Right now, it's only the two Ks that
I am busy with."
So, it might be some more time before Yash's
sabbatical plans take off. Till then, he
continues to face the arclights, which we're
sure he enjoys to the hilt.
