"The worst rumour I've heard about myself is that I am married. Proposals keep coming but, for the next five years, I've no plans to marry."
Ami_kaur504 > What are you planning to do after you finish acting for (TV serial) Ye Meri Life Hai (YMLH) ? Take part in another drama or officially join Bollywood?
Amit Jain > Well, the plans are to join Bollywood. The role is more important - whether it is TV or Bollywood.
Divya > Hey Amit, is it true that you are going out (seeing) with Shama Sikandar?
Amit Jain > We are great friends and (we) spend most of our day together because of shooting. The probability of falling in love is pretty high. Yet, as of now, we are great friends.
Ami_kaur504 > Do you think Ye Meri Life Hai is heading in a good (right/logical) direction with its plot, presently?
Amit Jain > Well, that's the creative directors stake. I am just an actor and I go and do my job, that's it
Kajal_ronitfan > Hi Amit! Will you ever marry Pooja (Shama)in YMLH? I think you are a great on screen couple! Please tell me.
Amit Jain > Thanks Kajal. Wait and watch that.
Sonya > Do you identify with your character "Ronit" of YMLH?
Amit Jain > Yes, very much. I am in a way as passionate a lover as "Ronit" as in, the attitude is more or less the same. The only difference is that I respect my parents a lot and they are like God to me, whereas "Ronit" at times is very rude to his parents.
Taf_k > There are rumours saying that you are married in real life. Is that true?
Amit Jain > I have actually heard this (question) for the first time. And have no plans to marry for the next five years. But there are (marriage) proposals coming in.
Taf_k > If there's anything you could change in YMLH, what will it be and why?

Taf_k > How often do you visit your family in Delhi?
Amit Jain > I miss my family like hell and I speak to them at least five times in a day. But I am only able to visit them five times in a year.
Taf_k > Did you have a hard time shooting your sad scenes after your marriage (in the serial) to "Poornima" and when "Pooja" was mad at you after the coma?
Amit Jain > Not really. I really enjoyed that because I never knew that I could cry so well and be appreciated for that!
Taf_k > Which director of YMLH were you most comfortable to work with?
Amit Jain > Apoorva Acharya. The amount of input he had given to my character, none of the other directors did.
Ronit the cutest > Amit, what was the worst rumour you ever heard about your self?
Amit Jain > That I am married!
Cool_gurl > Has there been a moment in your life that you will never forget and if there is, can you please tell what it is? Thanks.

It was just me but all of us on the sets copied him one after another and we kept laughing and laughing but the funniest part was he didn't realise it till the end.
