of course it does scare me when I will get back to set, I will be meeting many people
I wish God grace there is nobody gets anything related to Corona virus
problem is when there is no comparison
because if you re being compared that means you are doing something right
otherwise if you were no match then why would they compare
no haven't met them infact I haven't exchanged any pleasantry with them because we never crossed path
Ekta decided that let's not waste on Naagin, wait try give a shot for Mr Bajaj
you're strong enough to overcome that mishap
and also to let your partner relay on you that partner can bend on you
being strong is much more important
Welcome to PINKVILLA Karan
we know that you are soon going to start the shoot
before that I want to know
because everyone is talking about the lockdown period has thought them
something or the other what is it that you have probably
took from this entire experience because this is something
we are not going to face everytime
this is once in a while situation
we get bored staying home, it's necessary to get out
people say they have learn a lot from lockdown
what I learned is that never take life for granted
nobody is immensible nobody is special that you can't br spread
problems can come to anyone be it rich or poor
so cherish the gift of life and spread love as much as you can
because when problems arrive it comes too much like we are facing right now
truth, but tell me one thing
because now you are father to a 6 months old
does it scare you because it's contagious, asymptomatic
we don't know when it arrives
of course it does scare me
if I get back to show I will be meeting all kind of people
and I wish God grace nobody is going through any corona virus
other then yes we always have to be cautious
we have to be well prepared child is big or small
members of the house are there it's just that be cautious
and take precautions
when you come back home first thing take your hot water bath
put those clothes straight away to wash
even if you want to say Hi first take a bath and then talk
that's how risky it has become
your immunity might be very strong , you won't face it but
not everybody is equally blessed right
it can be other's immunity is weak why should we bother them
tell me something because I remember last time I met I told you
that I always look forward to seeing you
in different roles and different characters
and Mr Bajaj is going to be another feather in the hack
it is very different sort of character from what you already played
Mr Bajaj has lot of white hair
apart from that how did you react when you were even approached for it
when they approached I said Mr Bajaj is a challenging character
and it's been iconic character obviously
Rohit Roy had done first and then Karan did it he did a great job
so I said Mr Bajaj before saying yes can I shoulder the responsibility
and do justies to it or no
so I said give me a day or 2 to let me think
then I was like let me give it a try
when you were offered the role did the comparison beat
even cross your mind what if people will compare
problem is when there is no comparison
if you are been compared that means you are doing something right
otherwise if you are no match then who will match
if there is no comparison then you need to worry
comparison is good that means you are getting your job done
but have you followed the show it previously
have you followed the show it previously
I have seen few episode yes but not regularly
because at point even I was shooting
so didn't get time but I have seen few episodes
but now I will pay more attention to the story and
of course now you have to
but do you know Parth and Erica in person have you met them before
never met them infact
I have never even exchanged a pleasantry with them because we never crossed path
probably seen them around been clicked
around set but no interactions
in fact I don't know anybody on the show
this is going to be an experience for you
I feel like we pass and get promoted to new class after the summer vacation
new classroom, new teacher, everything new
how is Ankita reacting to it
because obviously house member do have stress because of Covid
everyone has stress but problem is how long will you sit home because of this
you can't be sitting home all your life
eventually it's being responsible about yourself and your loved one's
I think if everyone who gets out take care
then we don't have to fear about that
the problem is we are more into the other problems issues
he is sneezing, coughing, haven't wore a mask
you hide your face why are you getting into it
see your's then there is nothing to worry
last time we spoke you were open to web and I believe
there were couple of projects which were in pipeline back then
there are still web offers coming but
I am just in the middle of reading them just discussing them
it's exciting to know obviously
also remember I had asked there was a rumor
I had heard that you were offered to play a cameo in Naagin 5
they had asked me they had offered yes it is true
obviously they had offered that but
Ekta decided lets' not waste on Naagin, wait for it
give it a sort for Mr Bajaj
one side Mr Bajaj and other side I'm hissing how will that look
so they decided that don't make him hiss and make his hair white and work
I read Ankita's post recently which she had shared
it was heart warming post
if you are human you will kill the brain god forbit not happen with anybody
but end of the day it is life and it does go on
you need to just make sure you are strong enough
to overcome that mishap and also to let your partner relay on you
that partner to bend on you I guess out of 2 one ahs to
be strong is more important and I think in our case
Anikta is the stronger person
really? yeah
she is the one more stronger
yeah she is solid
yes she seems like one
what have you learned after being a Father
I change diapers I use to swadel her
but I do put her to sleep now and
when she wakes up at night I don't then Ankita handles
that one thing can't happen
that won't happen
I have become Father not a Batman
what next you want to do now I can tell the bucket list of 2020
because everyone's bucket list is survival
my bucket list is only filled with that somebody just offers me a film
I get to work on big screen all my bucket all my tumbler
but has there been any communication what so ever
because I remember last time also I spoke on this
not as such now also many people have a myth
TV actors are not easily consider in films
but I hope people have spend 3 months at home so they have got their minds
and they realise that end of the day it's the performance that matter
not where you got your original from
so I think maybe it came for this reason
all these film people they get their brains in track
the problem of this non payment dues that recently came oyt
I think one show in particular make up man had threaten they will committe suicide
I have no idea of
there was because of non payment of dues
what do you think because you have been working around for so long
there are credit system in TV
luckily I didn't have any of bad experience with any of my producers or directors
not that I work with lot of producers
but yeah Balaji is only producer I have worked with such a long time
I can vouche for it and say it by far Balaji has happen to be the best play master
at least don't take my but I have heard from lot of people, nobody has same opinion about them
and I have heard about another good guys also like
Rajan sir or for that matter Sashi they are good everyone gets money
payment due it takes a while to come along across
because the producers are also going through the tough time
so as an actor if you can be little more understanding towards producer
so maybe this problem can easily settle
like if I would have dealing problems with my technitions
I would tell my producer that give my money after months but the poor one's
make up man and all give them first
for them it's the matter of survival we can still manage
lastly I want to know are you also take some pay cards or something
because of entire situation or is it fine for now
I have been blessed and lucky that way
I think again more than pay cards scale is on
I feel lucky and fortunate that
in an environment right now where people are out of work
I have been offered a show and work
so these are things which I am grateful for
there are ups and downs in payments
it's life it's phase
looking forward to you slaying and playing Mr Bajaj
not just that and I hope to see you in many more different projects
Thank you so much
bye
