Mihir
Mishra is doing a new show called Jamegi
Jodi.com where the plot revolves around
a match-fixing agency run by a mother-daughter
duo who are in stiff competition with Ladka
Ladki Raazi.com, an online dating agency
owned by Mihir Mishra. The show is all about
the conflict of tradition v/s modernity,
love marriage v/s arranged marriage and
kundali v/s computers.
In a chat with Tellychakkar Mihir
Mishra talks of his upcoming shows, his
desire to work in movies and much more…
Tell
us about your last show Jamegi jodi.com
on 9x which went off air.
It was a comedy show. It was also on the
romantic side. But it was more comedy and
less romantic. A truly contemporary, fresh
and youthful offering for the viewers. Jamegi
Jodi.com was an interesting story where
both the parties have different values and
since they are neighbours there was lot
of friction between them. The story took
an interesting turn as the love blossomed.
Is it true that you are doing two shows
with Endemol?
Nothing concrete has been decided. Yes,
talks are on for shows but nothing has been
finalised.
Earlier you had said that you would
like to work in movies when the right time
comes. When is the right time coming?
Well I would definitely like to work in
films but I can't say what the right time
would be. It can come any time. The right
time has not come so far.
Any plans to start a family?
No. right now there are no such plans.
My wife and I want to focus on our careers
and we are busy with our work. We are not
thinking about it as of now.
Can the audience expect to watch you
and your wife together on the screen for
one more time after Nach Baliye?
Yes. I would love to work with her but
we have not been getting the right opportunity.
If such a thing works out audience would
definitely get to see us together on the
screen.
Do you think there is a scope for male
actors on TV in this era of women-oriented
shows?
Of course there is a scope for male actors.
There is a scope for everyone on television
these days. I believe that both male and
female actors enjoy equal opportunities
on television.
Have you ever felt that your character
has got overshadowed by a leading female
character?
That has never happened with me. I have
always got the recognition that I deserved.
For instance, my character was quite popular
in Sanjivani.
Earlier, you have been accused many
times of cold behaviour or tiffs with your
co-stars. What do you have to say about
that?
You can ask about it to my co-stars. That’s
not true. I never had any issues with my
co-stars. I share cordial relations with
them.
Why have you been so selective in choosing
roles?
I have not been selective. The producers
have been very selective in choosing me.
So it is the other way around.
