Wake-up Sharad!

One of the most popular actors of Indian television, Sharad Malhotra, is wondering when he will be greeted in the mornings in a normal way!

Says Sharad, "Back when I was doing Dulhan, I used to get woken up by the scheduler of Shakuntalam Telefilms. And now that I've taken up horse riding classes, every day in the morning I'm exposed to a lot of neighing (laughs). It feels it's the horses themselves who wake me up every morning."

Yes, the actor is involved in a lot of personal grooming activities while he looks out for interesting opportunities. Sharad says, "I'm learning a lot of things these days. Apart from horse-riding, I'm also learning martial arts and Bollywood dancing. I'm also concentrating on body building a lot presently."

When we questioned how the eligible actor has not attracted any TV offers yet, he replies defiantly, "It's not true that I haven't gotten any offers. I have been receiving many but nothing has stirred up my interest yet. In fact I was offered Bigg Boss- 3. But seriously that is so very not my cup of tea. After my experience with Yeh Hai Jalwa, I've kind of smartened up."

"Even now I'm reading a few scripts. Bollywood has always been on my mind and will be a point of focus. But if any interesting offer from television comes up I'm definitely game for it!" he signs off.

We hope to see the talented actor very soon on screen.
