'Anchoring gives me lot of freedom' - Ali Asgar

Ali Asgar a.k.a. Kamal Agarwal from Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki is busy these days hosting NDTV Imagine's new reality show Say Shaava Shaava.

Since this is Ali's first reality show anchoring assignment, he is extremely happy, excited and at the same time has butterflies in his stomach. Says Ali, Talking of the acclaimed judges of the show, Ali says, "Both the judges, Simi and Karan are in a class of their own and add to the glamour quotient. They have their own fan following through their immensely popular shows Koffee With Karan and Rendevous, and I am sure they will rock on this show as well!"

Speaking to Telly Buzz just after completing the day's shoot for the show, Ali says, "I am thoroughly enjoying my stint as an anchor here. The most unique part of this show is that it will not go on till eternity. This is just a 11-day affair, and the finale will be on January 31."

Ali is highly impressed with the professionalism of the production house, Contiolle. "They are taking care of every small detail regarding the show. I am seen in Indo-Western outfits. It is a good combination which I cannot explain! You have to see and comment."

Till now Ali has been doing daily soaps and had to be bound with their scripts. "But in anchoring you have a lot of freedom. At the same time, you are not allowed to go berserck!" says the actor who has come up with his own production company Cloud Nine Films and Entertainment. "Our first venture is a Marathi film called Man Pakharu Pakharu which will release on February 15," says the producer who is waiting with a bated breath for the film's fate. "After that, I will decide if whether to venture into television production or not", quips Ali.

Ali's next movie is Rakesh Sarang's Horn Ok Please, which is a comedy film starring Nana Patekar and Rimi Sen.
