article abt Apurva......take a look

article abt apu I'd rather climb Mount Everest than look at the same guys for three months," - Apoorva Agnihotri

'We should pull up our socks'

Tuesday, January 09, 2007 23:59 IST

Actor Apoorva Agnihotri is striving hard to get over the image of Armaan sir with which he has been saddled with right from his hit show 'Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin'.

If he played a boss to Mona Singh in 'Jassi', he's playing a boss yet again to protagonist Survin Chawla in 'Kajjal' (Sony).

'Kajjal' woes

But right now, he doesn't seem too happy with the way the track of 'Kajjal' is developing. He says that the love triangle between him and Survin has now developed into a triangle with actor Chetan Hansraj.

Apoorva says, "When I was narrated the subject, it held a lot of potential. However, the writer and the director were given the boot after the initial episodes. We need to work harder if we want to sustain the interest of the audiences. On television everything is TRP oriented. We should pull up our socks and make 'Kajjal' better. If only I did not have a kitchen back home, I wouldn't have done this serial at all."

Apoorva also reveals that he declined the offer to participate in 'Bigg Boss' (Sony). "I'd rather climb Mount Everest than look at the same guys for three months," he shoots.

Directorial calling

Apoorva continues, "People often ask me as to why I am not working in any other serial besides 'Kajjal'. I am not capable of handling two to three shows at the same time. I am not in a position like Aamir Khan's who is offered 20 scripts a year, reads four and selects just one. I know it is tough but then I like to burn my bridges. I do not like to look behind."

Apoorva confesses, "I detest the idea of being taken for granted by filmmakers who cast TV stars in inconsequential roles. I'd rather do one good TV serial than do 10 B grade films. I may stage a comeback in films but not as an actor but as a director. Just wait and watch!"

so true anju di so true we can olny wish but it wont happen as we know that ss wont leave apu alone na

Thanks for the article Tina.
Lets wish good luck to Apu so that he gets better work & more success in future 😊

😆 as long as there is rasmalai along, i think he can do it actually 😆 😆
In my books, he is one of the least irritable people on earth! Poor guy can surely endure a whole lot!! He'll come out of the house unscratched 😉

what do u say apu lovers??

Oh so he would not have acted in kajjal if he had some other source of earning 😛
And isnt he kinda saying that kajjal's storyline is cliched?
Oh well thanks for the article Tina di 😃

Someone seems to be unhappy right now with the way kaajal is going along 😕😕 😕. Hmmm!!!!! How can he be so naive? All serials have atleast 2 main heros. White gorilla will not harm him. Its AA all the way....

Babes in the woods indeed

I dont know whats the problem with apu , sandip had given so many interviews and he had clearly said that kaajjal would be like a typical serial that the viewers have been watching, just the presentation would be different.

what does he expect , see even if he ends up marrying the lead now then they wont remain married after some weeks coz they would naturally get separated.

if she does get married to someone else then they will follow a devdas type and where the husband dies and then again revenge and stuff

its all the same , apu should know that

Its strange,Apu's bemoaning about the show now...😕

It was crystal clear from the beginning that the show wasnt going to be pathbreaking,it was old wine in new bottle...Trite concepts and ideas being packaged in gloss....So I'm a bit surprised to know Apu ACTUALLy had some hopes pinned up on this show😕

But I like his forthrightness,he seems very candid and doesnt mince with words 👏....

BTW,I dont think HE burnt his bridges,the fact the boats were burnt is another thing altogether,just that HE didnt burn them😉..If you know what I mean............😆
