Pracheen Chauhan - 'I Lust...

'I LUST FOR ALL THE GOOD LOOKING AND SEXY WOMEN OF THE WORLD!'

On your sex appeal
Everything about me is sexy! (Laughs). I can't pinpoint just one thing. I'm a package dea (laughs).

How girls react to you
I'm a very fun loving person and am always cracking jokes. They enjoy my company. Besides I'm also good looking so obviously they find me attractive and want to be friends with me. But I don't go out of my way to talk to girls. I'm slightly shy that way. Even if I like a girl I don't show it. I cannot give her those vibes. But once the ice is broken and I'm comfortable with her then it's okay.

Your first date
She was a girl in my batch in the second year B.Sc. class. I told you I'm a very shy and silent lover sort of guy. So that was when I had my first date. She too liked me and asked me out. We went to watch Kamal Haasan's Hindustani. We just held hands and later went to Nirulas for ice cream. We went around for almost two years after that.

Your first crush
She was a girl in my 11th std. class. She was short, beautiful and fair. I was a very bright student and she often came to me with her Physics and Maths problems. She too liked me. But we never expressed our attraction to each other. It was all in the eyes. A couple of years later I did express my feelings to her but it was too late then. She was moving to another city.

Your most cherished compliment
When I was nominated for Subroto in 'Kasauti Zindagi Ki' by the Indian Telly Awards, it was like the best compliment to an actor. I cherish that one a lot. It felt like I got my first real appreciation as an actor.

Your wildest compliment
I haven't got any so far. I guess I'm not wild enough for that.

Love & romance...
Both are very important for me. Today I have a girlfriend. Spending quality time with her makes all my problems take a backseat. My girlfriend is my support system most of the times. Earlier I used to be in love with the idea of being in love and daydream a lot. Now I'm more practical. Life is very hectic today. Besides at 27, I have realized that there's a lot more to life than just love and romance. Love and romance go together for me. But maybe after seven years of marriage it may be a different story (laughs).

Lust...
It's a very strange word. You can talk about it in a negative or positive manner. It has gray shades (laughs). Lusting for someone you are in love with is very positive. Lust is very important in a relationship. Only love and romance is not enough. But when lust is for someone outside a relationship then it can be both negative and dangerous. Presently I'm in lust with my
girlfriend. Talking about Hollywood beauties earlier I used to lust for Meg Ryan. Now it can be any good looking and sexy female. I'm open to all the sexy women of the world. I lust for all of them.

On a nudist beach
It's a very dicey situation. I'll definitely feel out of place. I would rather cover my body parts with leaves but would never be completely nude. I'm a very private person.

What if a girl made a pass at you?
Girls have complimented me but never made a pass at me.

Would you ask a girl out if you liked her but didn't know her well?
No! I would do that only when I'm sure that she too likes me. But if she asks me out then I'd definitely go (laughs).

What if you fell short of money on a date?
I'm very particular about carrying enough money on a date. It would be a very embarrassing situation otherwise.

Your dream date
It could be en exotic hill station or somewhere in Switzerland or Australia. I'd love to go to some far off island with my girlfriend and get lost there.

Would you dress to impress a girl?
I am very particular about my clothes and always believe in dressing well. I always dress to impress people so obviously the girls too are impressed (laughs).

Flirtations...
I'm not a flirt at all. I'm always cracking jokes and making fun of people.

Marriage...
I believe in marriage. It is something that will be for keeps, at least I will try and hope it does. But I don't see it happening for the next two years. I will get into it only when I'm very sure of the girl. Divorce is a big trauma.

What if your girl caught you with your pants down?
That will never happen. I've never cheated on my girlfriends. If I ever feel that I'm not happy with my girl and am attracted to another girl, I'll break up with her but would never cheat on her. Two timing will kill me. I'd die of guilt.

Your wildest bedroom fantasy
(Laughs) That's an extremely guarded secret. I can't even think of telling you this.

Are women a necessary evil?
They are necessary but who said they are evil! Women are very nice. I want to be loved by all my female fans (laughs).

(PRACHEEN CHAUHAN shot to fame as Subroto in Kasauti Zindagi Ki. Being nominated for the Best Actor award for his negative role in the serial was the high point of his life. Today he is content being Antariksh in Sindoor Tere Naam Ka. Of course, the wait is on for another challenging role of his career! In the meantime he is busy furnishing his new house.)
