When it comes to confidence and attitude, Apurva Agnihotri rivals the best of them.

So what if the inebriated fumbling, together with King Khan overshadowing him in every scene made his debut as a film actor difficult to remember. Armaan Suri did for him what Rajeev could never manage.

"The growth of Armaan Suri as a character has been simultaneous with my growth as an actor," admits the Kanpur boy Apurva Agnihotri in an exclusive tete-a-tete with Kanpur Times.

Bollywood's stress on good looks "Decent looks can only help with the initial draw," feels the chocolate-faced boy, "Ultimately, talent and inner strength form a solid ground for your career growth."

On the runway success in Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin Agnihotri agrees that Jassi.... gave him what even a Subhash Ghai banner couldn't manage - tremendous fame.

"I have tried to capture every nuance of my character of Armaan Suri, however simple or complex. He has to be as close to reality as possible."

His acting skills "An actor never stops learning, hence he never stops growing," admits Apurva, adding that monotony is the biggest disincentive to one's onscreen capabilities.

His future plans "Perhaps a street play," chuckles Agnihotri, adding that it will be in his hometown.

hmmmmmmmm i still feel that he wud be overshadowed by SRK in films even now-apu doesnt really do it for me in films-he's great as a telly actor though! 😊

He's just started, he should show his versatality and scope by doing theatre, films and stage shows...not to mention the writing and directing...

Well i think Apu overshadowed SRK even back then...

But that was becoz of the insipid way Ghai conceptualised SRK's character.....

No prob with SRK's acting!

Thankuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
