"The show is based on an inter religion love story. I am a flamboyant fun loving and happy go lucky fellow till he follows in love. His life changes when this girl comes in his life. Both of them have to face so many problems in their life when their family realizes about their love as they are of different religions.?

?I wanted to play a lover boy which I played in Kumkum. I was missing it very much so I accepted this role. And lastly since it was a production house which belongs to actor like Paresh Rawal there was no reason to say no to this project,? adds Khanna.

Praising his on co-actor Vikram Gokhale he says, ?The other reason for accepting this role is Vikram (Gokhale) sir. He is living legend and I am great fan of his. I have always wanted to work with him. Everyday working with him is like a learning experience for me. Though he looks very serious on screen, off screen he is very friendly with us. He cracks jokes with us, mimics us, imitates us. He is a very chilled out person.?

Jeevan Sathi goes on air from July 21 and also includes a female protagonist Vani Sharma who will essay the role of Viraj Rathod.
