I HAVE HAD A WONDERFULL EXPERIENCE WHILE WORKING FOR DMG. ESPECIALLY COZ I WAS THE FIRST ONE TO BE SIGNED FOR THE SHOW. I AM ON THE PROJECT SINCE MARCH 07 THAT IS TECHNICALLY 5 MONTHS IN ADVANCE AND I HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THE WHOLE JING BANG THAT GOES INTO MAKING A HIT SHOW. I AM GLAD THAT THE HARD-WORK HAS PAID AND IT HAS BEEN RECEIVED BRILLIANTLY. THANX TO ALL YOU FANS WHO HAS A BIG BIG HAND IN OUR SUCCESS.
You have worked in Two more serials on Star one; "India Calling and Special Squad." Amongst these three serials including DMG which serial did u enjoy doing the most?
TO BE HONEST "SPECIAL SQUAD" IS THE SHOW I HAVE ENJOYED THE MOST. INDIA CALLING I DID JUST FOR MONEY.
Are you similar to your reel character Atul Joshi in real life too?
NO NOT AT ALL. I AM A VERY SHY AND A VERY RESERVED GUY, AND I DONT LIKE TALKING ENDLESSLY. I LIKE MY SPACE AND ALSO I RESPECT OTHERS SPACE ASWELL. BASICALLY, PERSONALLY I AM VERY DRY AND ALOOF.
Amongst your co-stars whom do you enjoy more working with ?
I ENJOYED WORKING WITH SHRADDHA NIGAM, NOT EVERY BODY KNOWS; BUT WE HAVE DONE A SHOW ON ZEE TV-- "TU KAHE AGAR" AND WE HAVE HAD EXCELLENT WORKING CHEMISTRY.
Any funny incident on the sets that you can recall of ?
NOTHING SPECIFIC.
What's next? Which serials other than Dill Mill Gayye are you currently working in or what are your future projects?
WELL AFTER DMG I AM BEING OFFERED A SHOW EVERY DAY, INFACT I HAD SIGNED ONE AS WELL, BUT I OPTED OUT BECAUSE OF CREATIVE DIFFERENCES.
I AM BEING VERY CAREFULL AS I DONT WANT TO TAKE UP WORK JUST FOR THE HECK OF IT. AS SOON AS I HAVE SOMETHING INTERESTING I WILL SHARE IT WITH YOU
Besides acting what are your other passions? What would have been an alternate career for you if not acting?
I CANT IMAGINE MYSELF DOING ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT "ACTING"
You have a lot of fan following on many social network communities (Orkut, India – Forums, etc.). Any message for your fans ?
LISTEN TO YOUR HEART;
COZ IT MAY BE ON THE LEFT;
BUT IT IS ALWAYS RIGHT
And last but not the least, what do you think about this Blog (http://www.dmgrocks.blogspot.com) specially dedicated to the serial Dill Mill Gayye and its fans ?
WELL, FRANKLY SPEAKING. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY? COZ I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH TIME GOES INTO MAKING SUCH THINGS AND HOW MUCH EFFORTS ARE BEING PUT TO REGULARLY UPDATE IT.
U KNOW, I FEEL REALLY SPECIAL WHEN I GO TO THE BLOG AND I FEEL PROUD THAT OUR SHOW IS ENTERTAINING A LOT OF PEOPLE.
ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT KEEP WATCHING DMG AND GIVE US YOUR FEEDBACK ON WHAT YOU LIKE AND WHAT YOU DONT;
WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN FUTURE; AS I CAN PASS IT ON TO OUR CREATIVES AND WE CAN MAKE OUR PRODUCT EVEN BETTER.
DMG ROCKS BECAUSE OF FANS LIKE YOU
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU.
