Apurva
'Arman' Agnihtori, who plays the egoistic
self-centered Dev in SET's Kaajjal
is not too happy the way his show is shaping
up. "Don't get me wrong, I like the
way present status of the show, but I also
feel that we have lots of potential, both
in term of creativity and TRPs, which unfortunately
are not being exploited correctly,"
confesses Apurva.

The good-looking actor who
recently co-anchored Nach Baliye 2
with wifey Shilpa Shaklani, further refused
to speculate where the story line will proceed
by commenting, "Nobody knows where
TV scripts head. It can be the run-of-the-mill
generation leaps, dead men rising form the
grave….your guess is as good as mine! As
far as this show is concerned, to spice
up the track, we have got Bollywood singer
Abhijeet crooning for Kaajjal's birthday
episode, which will be aired soon."
(What variety we say!!!)
The show which began as a love / hate story
between a brash Apurva (Dev) and a simple
Kaajjal ( Surveen Chawala), is developing
into a love triangle with the recent introduction
of Chetan Hansraj (Dhruv). So is the new
guy's presence making Apurva insecure even
in real???
Touted as a non-media savvy actor, he takes
full opportunity of this tête-à-tête
to indulge in image building. "People
have this misconception that as I'm a brat
as I get offered roles like Armaan and Dev.
But I have no regrets as I am what I am
thanks to Jassi…."
And now he drops a hint for seekers of new
shows. "I don't mind doing reality
shows but unfortunately the current brands
don't seem real. I was offered Bigg Boss,
but dwelling 24/7 in a make belief environment
just does not click. If there comes a show
where I have to scale Mt. Everest, I'm game."
For an actor who debuted in films under
the Subhash Ghai banner for Pardes,
a discussion on Bollywood can't be left
out. "I want to go back to the big
screen, but this time as a director. I would
love to tell a tale, but not on TV. Here
unfortunately the director and the writers,
who are the crucial pillars of a show aren't
given their dues".
