How’s your character shaping up for the same?
For a change, I’m not arrogant. I play the role of a doctor who is kind and cares for everyone. Every character in the serial is carved out very well.

After Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin, this is your second show with DJ, the production house.
You can never go wrong with them. They are known to try out different things. Also, NDTV Imagine has a lot of intelligent people; it’s fun to work with them.

You are sporting a lean look and long hair for this serial. Are you undergoing an image makeover?
Shilpa (Saklani, his wife) was bored of my short hair so I decided to grow it long. I’m also doing a lot of cardio as I had put on some weight.

When do we see you paired with your wife?
I have no clue. Even I am waiting for that day. If we get a good script, we will grab it tomorrow.

You have never been part of Balaji Telefilms. Your comment.
May be they don’t want me there. May be if things work out in future you will see me working in one of their serials.
