Actor Kushal Tandon has been in news for many reasons ' crossing swords with co-star Karan Tacker, getting 'caught in a compromising position' with his female lead Nia Sharma and participating in a dance reality show with his firang girlfriend. The actor talks about it all in a candid chat with TOI.
candid chat .. .go on .. i am all for it
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tell us a bit about your long-distance relationship.
I met Ileana, my girlfriend, when I was pursuing an acting course abroad. It has been two years now.
- straight simple ..nothing fancy or no beating around the bush ,..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But what about the rumours of you cosying up with co-star Nia Sharma in your makeuproom?
Nia is a very dear friend. She is a sweetheart, is like family and nobody has the right to tarnish a girl's image. We are not dating. I have a girlfriend, yaar. Sometimes Nia and I pack up around the same time and leave together. If I were dating Nia, why would I call my Ileana here for Nach Baliye? Ileana knows that Nia and I are best of friends.
Kushal !!! adore and respect and admire you .. @blue- š and you are trying to show the logic to the people.. forget it.. wish they had an ounce of clarity in their thoughts ,..and as said ..TRUTH doesn't sell.. only spice sells
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go on...I live alone and if I have to do something, I can very well do it at home, why in mymakeup room? Just think of the girl and her reputation. We come from good families. Putting up such a story is a cheap and desperate attempt to sell the product. Then someone said we were rehearsing for the honeymoon sequence in the show...it is so ridiculous. Well, suddenly I am feeling popular with so much being written about me...
but I don't want any cheap publicity. I don't need it, because I was into modeling earlier and a lot of people know me. Getting linked with your co-star is part and parcel of this profession.
once again that is a rocking, irrefutable reply .. @blue- logic in peoples thoughts fail miserably.. and that was one IRREFUTABLE statement - you just talk nothing but sense and truth
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, are you participating in the dance reality show to prove that you are committed?Nothing like that. I am doing it because I got an offer and also,
we will get to spend some time with each other. But I am not sure about tomorrow. I am not saying that I am getting married or having babies. Marriage is very far for me right now. Currently, I am only dating her. very straightforward and freaking honest reply š who knows what future holds for us,, tomorrow if they fall out, once again he will be questioned about his words and his quotes and his relation ... and let us not forget we are humans.. and change is the order of life
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You had said that you were not on talking terms with Karan. What's your current equation with him?(Laughs) I will be diplomatic this time. It is nice, all okay, we are cordial with each other. Today we shared food, he got butter chicken and I got roti...
we are back to being friends, but only for the show.Kushal ..butter chicken and roti.. 𤣠i want it now...and please don't even try .. you can't be diplomatic.. honest and genuine people repel diplomacy . @blue.. once again irrefutable statement .. š hhahhah LOL Kushal .. ..at the start of the reply,he said he would be diplomatic and by the end of it .. his is back to his original self sans diplomacy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Karan said he can act well and hence, nobody can spot the rift between both of you. Comment.(With a tinge of sarcasm)
Ya, ya, I act bad and hence I have bagged all the awards.
I just love his sarcasm which comes with a straight poker face.. wish we had the video to watch .. it would be a treat to watch him being sarcastic
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometime back, you had signed a film. What about your Bollywood dreams?It is most likely to get fulfilled in a year's time, after this show. Right now,
I can't do anything because of my exclusive contract with the channel. But the contract allows me to do films after the show gets over. I am in talks with a few people. Ileana and I will be doing the film together.Television is tough, the next step is naturally Bollywood.
@blue .. many people say they are busy with shooting and work commitments blah blah blah.. none will be as crisp and clear as him .. no one talks about the exclusive contracts with the channel .. but he did .. don't you think every this is just FREAKING genuine and TRUE.. ahhh how I adore this guy's genuineness
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You were offered Bigg Boss which you refused?(Pretends to think hard and grins) Nothing like that...Ok I was offered, but I don't want to talk because
I open my mouth and fall into trouble. I would say that it is not something actors should accept when they have just started their career. When you have been there, done that, and after a few years you want to come back and say, 'Hello, I am there...' then it is fine.
