Abhishek Tiwari made his debut with Rajan Shahis Chaand Chhupa Badal Mein.The show that looked promising initially,lost its way soon.The TRPs kept dipping and the show was shifted to the afternoon band of the channel before going off air.The cast of Chaand... was nowhere to be seen after that.But now,Abhishek is back and will be seen in Mahima Shani Dev Ki.Hes also getting ready with his autobiography.BT spoke to him about all this and more...

Where were you all this while

I completed two South movies,in which I play the negative lead.As an actor,one needs to attempt everything to discover ones range and versatility.It gives you an edge over others,hones your talent and pushes your limits.

Its often believed that after failing in Bollywood and Indian TV,people move towards the South.Comment.

Today,Hollywood is entering Bollywood,Bollywood is entering TV and the latter is entering Bollywood.The gap has been abridged.Its now a fusion of all the mediums.For me,work is more important than the medium I get to showcase it.

Hows your autobiography shaping up

I spent at least two-and-a-half hours every day writing my book and I have been writing it for almost three years now.The first volume will be on my experiences in the industry as a bachelor and will release before my marriage.There will be many volumes that will follow based on different phases of my life.

Tell us about your role in Mahima Shani Dev Ki

Its an episodic appearance but I lapped up the offer as I always wanted to be a part of a mythological show.I am a staunch believer of Shani Dev in real life and go to his temple every Saturday to pray and offer Til and Tel.During my school days,I had the experience of facing the wrath of Lord Shani (unfavourable period) as I often used to meet with accidents or would lose the keys of my bike on a Saturday.Since then I started going to his temple every Saturday.
