Tell us about yourself?
Well I am someone who loves to do everything passionately! I mean whatever I take up has to be done with passion, because I feel that only then will it turn out to be something good.
How did you get into the Television industry?
I gave advertisements and films a shot for a while till I realized that there were quite a few double standards here and so then I moved on to TV with my first project for Doordarshan, and definitely found TV a more clean as well as clear space, as so I just decided to stick on, first as an assistant director and then moved on to various other departments.
Your take and experience on being the creative head for DMG and now D3?
Working on DMG was a challenge, and so is working on D3 now, as these shows are somewhat different and break the clutter in their own ways, but yes I love challenges and so took them up and had a great time working on DMG and now on D3 too!
Share with us some fun memorable experiences of DMG which you will always remember?
There are tons of amazing memories related to DMG which I will never ever forget, but yes I will always remember the very last day of DMG clearly, as literally every single person who was related to the show in any way at all, just came on to set, even some with whom we had kind of lost touch, which was very very touching, and of course it was then a big awesome reunion! Also, my second day of shooting with Karan is something which I still remember as we had asked him to shoot a basketball court scene without his shirt, he was nervous, didn't want to really do it as he wasn't even very familiar with any of us, but then finally he did the scene and pulled it off brilliantly! Besides these, a lot of pranks were always played on set by everyone which were also great fun.
If it were possible, would you come up with a DMG season 3?
Oh god, I have been asked this question all the time and so many times now! But again I will say that yes if it were possible, I would love to come back with DMG season 3!
The very famous on screen couple that you created 6 years ago, Armaan and Riddhima, are still fondly remembered by fans, so how does that feel?
I infact still get mails from fans telling me they still love Armaan and Riddhima, they were the best Jodi etc etc, and it really feels great and overwhelming to know that people are talking so much about something you created, and even when the show ended around more than 3 years ago! So yes it feels lovely to know that fans still love Armaan and Riddhima a lot.
First doctors and then dancers, so what next?I am not a person who can work on multiple shows and concepts together, but the Dil' will always remain in whatever I do, so hopefully, maybe a good romantic love story is what I would look for next.
