AT #1 : TV Hunk Karan .V. Grover Returns - Page 73

A self proclaimed ambitious guy, Karan Grover has dabbled with many vocations. A chemical engineer by qualification, he has tried his hand at event management, has ranked in the top ten of Gladrags contest, VJed with Zee Music and finally found his true calling, that's acting.

Since two years he's been loyal to his debut noontime daily, Saarthi. And it's now that Karan has taken up a pivotal project, Meri Awaz Ko Mil Gayi Roshni backed by Fox Television Studio (India) that will soon replace KBC.

Prashant Golecha meets up with Mr. Grover, who's happily shuttling between two shows.

Can you elucidate on your role in your new show, Meri Awaz Ko….?

I play Raj, a sales and marketing guy who realizes his own worth while making efforts to make the lead protagonist (played by Ashima Bhalla) a successful singer. Here the characterization is in contrast to my role in Saarthi.

So far, how has this new association been?

We have shot for more than 20 days. The production values are amazing. The detailing is excellent. Fox Television's Deepak Sehgal is extremely passionate about the show and it rubs on all of us. Looking at his level of dedication, we are very motivated to give our best.

Your debut show Saarthi will still be close to your heart. Right?

Yes, for reasons that it was my launch pad and that I have received amazing feedback for the same. I play Arjun in this modern day Mahabharat, who's very idealistic and positive. We have recently completed 500 episodes.

What are you passionate about other than acting?

I'm an out-an-out film buff. I love working out if time permits and prefer to meet people than read books.

Do you relate to saas bahu shows? Has Balaji offered you anything?

I don't relate to such shows at all. Balaji has never approached me for any of their project.

Are you seeing Kavita Kaushik?

Yes we are going around since a year. I met her at an Xmas bash then. She's done fifteen episodes in my show Saarthi four months back.


What traits of hers do you like the most?

Kavita is a self made woman. She is the most talented actress around. Despite of a huge body of work she retains the same enthusiasm and passion to do bigger and better.

Is marriage on the cards?

Not at all. At this stage of life, career is top most priority for both of us.
