Avinash Sachdev aka Dev of Chhoti Bahu shares an exclusive talk with Telly caf about his journey of tough career, schooling, marriage and future plans…
How is Avinash in real life?...
How is Avinash in real life?
Avinash in real life is very hard-working, but I like to hang-out as its not just work every time for me. I mostly like to travel in trains if possible and would like to celebrate my honey moon in train it self. I think now you can imagine how desperately I love to travel in train. Secondly I love and adore my parents a lot. And last but not the least, I believe to reach the stars so that I at least land on moon. "hamesha dur ki socho."
Who motivated you for this success?
Actually no one motivated me for coming into this field. My mom and dad wanted to see me as an I.A.S officer which was not definitely my cup of tea. But yes, at last it was my parents who supported me for what ever I did and hope will always do so. According to me, my parents are the most understanding guys in the world I have ever met. They are the most adorable cum practical one.
Tell us something about your college and school days?
Truly speaking I have never been to college at any time as I have started my career at the age when I was in 9th standard. I just use to visit the sets and locations but I was really zero in what all is going on the sets, "Mujhe media ka M bhi nahi pata tha." but I can say that I was a very studious guy who just studies for 15 days and use to top in the class. School days were the best days of my life and school friends are every thing for me. But I can't say any thing about the college life.
Tell us about your journey towards success?
As I had started my career at the age of 15, my first event was a fashion show with M.A.E.M.D Company where I bagged for Mr. Gujarat over there. And then I use to participate in every small- big competitions. Then I came to Mumbai and did the work of assistant director for the serial Hatim which aired on Star Plus. The only sad thing was I had worked there but without any payment. By god's grace, finally I bagged for the role of Dev for Choti Bahu. And the most interesting thing between me and Choti Bahu is that the name Dev is written in my "janam kundali." But after so much of struggle I have at last reached my destination.
So now you are all set in your career, so is there any plans for marriage?
Yes! For now I have been all set in my career but marriage will still take lot of time because I have just crossed 23(age) and feels is still young for it. And when it comes to choose my life partner, I would see to it that I don't ashamed my parents at any cost in any way. My bride should be "sarvagun sampanna".
What about you're off screen relation with Rubina as a co-artist?
Actually speaking "hamara 36 ka akda tha" but as of now we are in crystal clear friendship. We both feel very much easy with each other; especially Rubina is very comfortable with me. We both go on a long drive and we have also gone to Lonavla for a holiday. It's not like every one says that there is something between us. No, it's not like that "kal kuch hoga tho pata nahi par aaj toh dost hai" (Something can happen tomorrow but today we are just good friends)
