He
commenced his TV journey a few years back
with Kkusum and later went on to
feature in Kyunki…and Rishton
Ki Dor. And suddenly he was nowhere
on the scene. But now Amit Sareen has resurfaced
on the small screen with Aruna Irani's
Doli Saja Ke. He plays the leading man
Chaitanya opposite Barkha Bisht in this
Sahara One daily and has reportedly quoted
it as 'one of my finest performances till
date'.
Prashant Golecha
meets up with Amit, who after a long time
span, discusses his career and personal
life. Excerpts.
You started with a bang with Kkusum
and after Rishton Ki Dor you just
disappeared. Comment
That's because I am very choosy about my
work.
So what made you
choose Doli Saja Ke?
My character Chaitaniya is a very human character
with a lot of values. He is rich but down
to earth. My co-star Barkha Bisht is not only
sweet but a good actress to work with.
What
is the real Amit Sareen like?
I am a low profile individual who believes
in spending time with family and friends.
I take time to open up. I am flexible but
a perfectionist.
Any particular reason
for lying low?
My sensibilities don't allow me to do things
out of context. I don't want unnecessary mileage
by going to parties. When I am required I
do go, I do party occasionally, but with people
I am associated with.
You played a meaty
role of Sahil Virani in Kyunki. Why did you
quit this TRP ruling show?
A gen-leap was being brought in and I didn't
want to play an older character at that point
of time.
Was the parting with
Balaji amicable?
Leaving Balaji is normally not amicable but
in my case it was. It was an honest decision
on my part and it was taken in the right spirit
by the production house.
Has Balaji offered
you anything lately?
They had approached me for a role in Kasamh
Se. But things didn't work out. If they
come up with an offer which appeals to me
I will surely take it up.
Tell us something about your personal life.
It has been only six months since I got married.
My wife Vineesha is an actor, she starred
in the Uday Chopra film Supari. Right now
she is writing three movie scripts and is
also busy showcasing short films directed
by her in the international market. If a good
acting offer comes her way she will surely
consider it.
Any plans to start a family?
Right now I am only focusing on my career.
Having said that I would like to add that
marriage is a great institution. I definitely
recommend it. It has made me more focused,
determined and inspired towards my goals.
At one point of time
even you were contemplating a filmi career.
What happened?
My journey is still very much on and I definitely
want to do films. By God's grace I hope this
wish will come true soon.
Will that mean quitting
television?
I will cross the bridge when it comes.
Any passions other
than acting?
I have been a trained dancer (jazz, classical
and western) since six years. I am taking
out time to polish my dancing, which has taken
a backseat since last few years
