Love u all

Fifteen minutes in to the conversation with Sachin Shroff and you are convinced that the actor is "extra cautious" of what he speaks about. That's not all, Sachin doesn't make a conscious effort to appear "reserved". Just that he is comfortable being this way and has fortunately "survived" in the industry. "If you think I can blabber to impress people, let me tell you, I just can't. But I'm lucky that both viewers and directors have focused more on my acting potential than oratorical skills," he states.

While many girls still think of him as a hunk, which is quite evident from the fact that his female following hasn't seen a down scale, even after his marriage, Sachin modestly declines it. "I don't think I'm a hunk and if people continue to believe that I don't take it seriously. When it comes to work, I know I'm addicted to it and don't mind working like an insane person. I don't have an issue working non-stop for even 48 hours, which I have, because I'm committed to my work. And that's what matters most to me."

Currently seen as in "Rakt Sambandh", Sachin along with wife Juhi Parmar is also toying with the idea of producing TV shows. "It is too early for us to share any details, but yes we are working on something. In fact, we have approached few channels with our themes and are awaiting their reply. One can't expect the channel to pull off a show to air our project. Channels have their marketing strategies and a research department to work things out. So it is a time-consuming phenomenon. While the creative part will be handled by Juhi, I will look after the finances. I would be lying if I say neither of us is apprehensive. It is expected. For, it is a new domain and we aren't too aware about it. But yes, we will offer what the audience will love." But this doesn't mean the duo, who has appeared in several reality shows, will produce one that soon. "No, we wouldn't like the pilot project to be a reality show. We want to be sure before we plunge into it."

Sounding critical of "Pati Patni Aur Woh", the reality sitcom Sachin participated in, he isn't convinced with the way he and Juhi were projected. "A lot of things shown in the show were exaggerated. So those bouts of anger etc were hyped. Juhi doesn't feel the need to please people. She says what she believes in and I appreciate that quality. In fact, not many people know that she has put on weight because of her thyroid problem. Thankfully, everything is under control, hats off to her willpower" he says.

Sachin, who has invariably been the "producer's boy", says if he has worked non-stop for 48 hours, it has only been for the love for his work. "When actors learn to put in more hours, they find themselves getting more attention and of course projects than they can't even hope for. So producers like Aruna Iraniji and Shobhana Desai roping me in for their projects multiple times, speaks volume of the seriousness towards my work. I believe, sincere efforts never go unnoticed. Just that one ought to be patient till hardwork pays off."

Is this quality – of working for long hours and creating no noise about it – rarely found? "No, not really. Everybody knows nothing can be achieved till they put in more efforts. The only difference is that not everybody talks about it. Those who keep mum don't want to be misunderstood." Misunderstood? "Yes, a lot of times, working overtime is misinterpreted as exploitation. Others might feel that they are not paid in consonance with the long hours they invest," he says.

Contrary to the common perception that celebrity marriages fail because the pull to cheat on the partner is high, Sachin, who got married to Juhi last year, believes it applies to everybody. "It depends only on the couple's compatibility. Yes, the word sounds familiar. But calls for a greater level of patience. As, with time you begin to realise if the person you had fallen for has dreams and opinions that fit with your perspectives or not. And that's when the compatiblity factor comes in. A compatible relationship has to be built. It requires time and consistent efforts. Not getting along doesn't mean cheating on your partner," he declares.

But isn't the media scrutinising celebrity marriages irksome? "Thankfully, this hasn't happened to us, except on our wedding day. There were, I remember about 30 cameras monitoring our movements and action, but the media never created any hassles for us. On the contrary, they were all very co-operative."

im so happy for Sachin he got another role and his interviews are always a must to read...and im always so happy after readin what he says...

I wish juhi and Sachin all the best and goodluck...
