Article~~A convincing Casanova act!

How would you judge if a person is a good actor - by his convincing portrayal of the role, of course! And that's what Ashish Kapoor's brilliant performance as Dheer Kunwarsa of Saat Phere, did to him, although it worked against him!

Remember the wayward and errant ghar-jamai's liaison with Jumma, the maid of the house? Ashish Kapoor seems to have portrayed it so realistically that he is without a housemaid for the past one month!

Overheard the bachelor citing this funny anecdote, "Whenever a new bai is sent to be employed in my house, she looks at me and asks 'madam kidar hain?' (where's madam?) and asks for my wife. When I say I am single, she informs 'baad mein aayenge' (she will come later) and disappears never to turn up." As far as the maidservants of his locality go, probably they are too scared to end up as another Jumma!

But in real life the good-looking actor is far from the philandering Dheer Kunwarsa. He does not even have a girlfriend and has ended up being the best friend of all his female co-stars!

Incidentally, Ashish plays Dr.Shekhar in India Calling and we hope there is not a line-up of patients at his doorstep next!
