Kumkum

Hussain Kuwajerwala, aka Sumeet of Star Plus' Kumkum has come a long way. For the second time around Hussain's been voted as the best pati (husband) at the Star Parivaar Awards, beating none other than Karan of Kyunki... and Kkavya of Kkavyanjali. Not just this, Hussain has also proved his mettle as an anchor with Khul Ja Sim Sim. Prashant Golecha chats up with Hussain on his career as an actor and anchor. <strong> You have won the best Pati award for the second time. How does it feel?</strong> I feel nice. It's really great, but the credit for it goes to the writer of the show. <strong>

"Working with Balaji is like coming back home" <strong>Will your role of 'Mohini Mittal' in 'Kyunki...' be a long role?</strong> It should be. Working with Balaji Telefilms is like coming back home as I had worked as Kkusum’s younger sister “Jyoti” and left when the show took an 18 years jump. Ekta saw my performance in <em>Siddhanth<em> on Star One and offered me the role of Mohini. <strong>Are you going to carry forward the “Ansh” legacy of troubling the Virani family?</strong>

"I cannot relate to <em>Kumkum</em>" Cool looking youngsters in trendy outfits dance to the tunes of a rap song in a misty disc. Amidst the fun, a tussle between two guys turns the raucous noise into grave silence. Enters a sari- clad woman in green. Her hair tied up with make- up and sindoor applied to perfection. She desperately intervenes and impedes the fight. Cut!!!! announces the director. The woman turns and walks towards me with a smile. "We have been shooting since morning. It's hectic but I am enjoying every bit of it," she dimples.
