'There is no night without parties...'

Television's new 'bad boy' Abhaas Mehta, aka Shyam of Iss pyar Ko Kya Naam Doon loves to party with his friends whenever he gets time; but not publicly.

As he clears the air about his hobbies and other party habits, he says, "Because shooting schedules are so hectic, I hardly get any time to go out and party. When I am free, I am mostly sleeping or hanging out with friends." He goes on to add, "I am a fitness freak. I spend a lot of time in the gym. I like to relax and watch movies alone. But my most favourite pass-time is my Play Station! My friends and I have gaming sessions."

About staying in the limelight and attending more parties, Abhaas has a different view altogether. He says, "I like the opportunity to meet new people. But I stay very far away and so I am not too much into this industry. So I do not attend all filmy parties or awards or any such events. There is no night without parties but I do not like to party to stay in the limelight. Partying with my close buddies and keeping it a private affair is what I prefer."
