After impressing one and all with his
stellar performance in the iconic
Colors' reality show, Bigg Boss, Hiten
Tejwani is now toying with some
interesting digital products.
"I can't give out too many details about
my upcoming web thriller. We don't want
to call it a short film. We might release it in
the festival circuit. It has come out really
well, and we hope to complete it in the
next ten days.
Next, cricket-lover Hiten is also captaining
Nivedita Basu's Kolkata Babu Moshayes on
MTV Box Cricket League.
"This is my third season with them. It took
me the first two outings to get the hang
of the soft ball which makes both batting
and bowling dicey. Yet, I scored well last
time around, helping the team to win a
few matches.
"The best part of BCL is that it allows all TV
actors to come together and play. Fans
love the resultant interactions, friction and
abuse which comes with the territory.
While agreeing that certain people have
been chosen in most squads for the
express purpose of setting off fireworks,
he avers, "I can only vouch for myself. I
never do stuff just to attract eyeballs. If
something happens organically, so be it.
But yes, if things get too heated, I will try
to calm my team-mates down as the
skipper.
Will having female players affect the
quality of the game? "While we hope to
give our best in the middle, I am equally
aware that we also have girls who are
playing for the sake of playing. Therefore,
we will work with them during practice,
to up their level.
Looking ahead, Hiten prefers to wait for
some interesting web series. "One of my
main reasons for staying away from soaps
is that they take up too much time. And I
am really interested in doing Fear
Factor: Khatron KeKhiladi, hence need to
keep my calendar relatively open ended.
Also, as of now, I am mostly getting
repetitive kind of tube roles, which is not
challenging. Hiten has been doing TV
since 2001, starting with Ghar Ek
Mandir,Kutumb, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi
Bahu Thi, Karam Apnaa Apnaa, etc.
"Doing BiggBoss has helped me break out
of the daily-soap-actor bracket. People are
willing to experiment with me in other
genres. Also, perceptions towards me
have changed. Those who knew me from
before are glad that I retained my dignity.
Those who did not, came up and spoke
good things about my time inside. I am
really happy that I did not change inside
the house, despite so much negativity. Had
I crossed the line even slightly, things
would have been different.
Well said, Hiten.
