How's Mere Apne turning out? Great, the show's very popular in Delhi from where I come. Also, quite a few actors have praised my work in the soap. Don't you feel lost amongst the heavyweights? I was worried about it ini- tially With big names like . Vinod Khanna and Smriti Iraani, I had doubts about how much footage I'd get. But all the characters are well-etched. In fact, the youngsters have a lot more to do than the seniors. Your take on Vinod Khanna. He's really funny, constantly crack- ing jokes. But I was quite in awe of him initially. On the first day of the shoot, he was asking around for me since I play the 'good' son. That gave me the jitters. But he soon made me comfortable. And Smriti Iraani? We're all very chilled out. The other day Smritiji and I were plan- ning a prank on our cre- ative heads! Aren't your characters in Mere Apne and Thodi Khushi Thode Gham on the same lines? Maybe you're right. I haven't had a chance to experiment with my look because I've been shooting for both shows back to back. And please don't forget Ronit of Yeh Meri Life Hai. He was a cool dude. What's up next? I don't want to take on anything for the next three months. I'm learn- ing to dance so I can try my luck in the movies. Also, I'll be doing a show soon with Balaji Telefilms. Who's your favourite co- star? Shama Sikander was my friend when we started Yeh Meri Life Hain. So somewhere, I was more comfortable with her. You mean.. (Cuts in) Don't let your imagination run wild. We've been the best of friends for four years. It's time the rumours died. So are you seeing someone? Nope.
