Gurpreet Singh
TV actor
"I had gone to audition for the role of Angad but got Sujal's part and I am enjoying playing the part"
Aashy > Hi there, I really like your performance in Kahin To Hoga (KTH) . You are too good. What other projects do you in hand?
Gurpreet Singh > Right now I am just doing KTH . I don't get time to do any other project. Thank you for the compliment.
Jasmine > I heard Kashish (actress Aamna) and you didn't really talk to each other very much on the sets of KTH before but now the two of you are great friends.
Gurpreet Singh > No, that's not true. We used to talk before also.
Jasmine > What is your birth date and with which character of KTH do you share the most chemistry with, in reality
Gurpreet Singh > Birthday 28 November. I am pally with "Swayam" (actor Vikas Sethi).
Madhura > Hi, how do you find acting? Are you really engaged?
Gurpreet Singh > I am not engaged. I am waiting to get engaged. I always enjoy performing my character, and I love acting.
Nannuu > I love to see you in KTH. Is your voice dubbed in this soap? And if so, I would love to listen to your real voice. Could I know where I can listen to it? I mean, did you act in any other advertisements etc? I saw that Rajnigandha advert. Is that your real voice?
Gurpreet Singh > No, my voice is not dubbed. It is my real voice in the serial that you hear. By some chance it's quite similar to that of the earlier "Sujal" played by actor Rajeev Khandelwal. And in the advert that you mention here, that too is my real voice.
Jasmine > I don't hate you, but I miss Rajeev. Still, you are great though people on a web site were saying not to chat with you because you were a dummy. But I disagree and think that you are acting really well, and I like it . Did you find it difficult to take the place of Rajeev Khandelwal when viewers weren't ready to accept you?
Gurpreet Singh > Unfortunately, in the past I didn't know anything about the "Sujal" (and Rajeev). So when I got this offer I was not much aware about this character. Hence, I didn't feel any pressure. I just played my part with ease.
Loveonce_87 > What is your future plan?
Gurpreet Singh > I don't know about tomorrow, so how can I plan about the future.
Aashy > Are you enjoying the role of being "Sujal"?
Gurpreet Singh > Yes, a lot.
Nannuu > Hi Gurpreet. I heard that "Kashish" (Aamna) and you are great friends. But I have even heard that Rajeev doesn't like it. Is it true?
Gurpreet Singh > I don't think so because whenever I have met Rajeev, he has been very sweet.
Aashy > Who do you think is your inspiration?
Gurpreet Singh > I take inspiration from challenges.
Loveonce_87 > What are your hobbies and what do you like to do in your free time?
Gurpreet Singh > I like to be at home. I like to listen to music, sketching, traveling, and swimming.
Tulips4 > Your acting is great, good work!
Gurpreet Singh > Thank you very much. And I will try to improve it.
Amitbohra16 > Whom will "Kashish" finally marry and when?
Gurpreet Singh > Wait and watch!
Juice > Hey, heard you are engaged. When and how did it happen? Wouldn't it break the hearts of your female fans? Who is the girl and how did you meet her?
Gurpreet Singh > I am not yet engaged yet. It got postponed, as I have been very busy with work . Her name is Kanishka. She is an actress. And I met her on the sets of my movie, Madhubala .
Longfellow > What's your film M adhubala all about and how did you bag the role? What are your expectations from it?
Gurpreet Singh > The film is based on a female character (Madhubala) and her best friend who helps her at every step in her life. I got this movie by the same director with whom I am doing another movie called Bhay (started shooting first). Let's hope for the best.
Nannuu > My God Gurpreet, that's soo sweet! I loved your voice. I am totally fida (adore) on your voice. Can you tell me how you got to do Kahiin Toh Hoga ? I mean, did you know Ektaa personally or you had to go through audition etc. And how did you feel the moment you gave your test.
Gurpreet Singh > Thank you. I got the role from the normal audition. I gave audition for Kaisa Yeh Pyar Hai for the character of "Angad" and they took me for "Sujal."
Rims > When will you get engaged? When are you two going to marry? Are you really going to get engaged and marry Kansihka or is it postponed for good? Gurpreet Singh > We are planning. Let's see. We don't know when.
Bangladeshi_guy > Gurpreet! Do you talk like a robot in real life too?
Gurpreet Singh > Thanks for criticising me. No, I don't.
Asma_afridi > Would you leave "Sujal" for a role in some small film?

Gurpreet Singh > I do not have an email id .
Asma_afridi > Where are your grandparents from?

Nannuu > How do you feel surrounded by so many female fans? Do you know that girls are mad about you? They go crazy for you!
Gurpreet Singh > I feel good when lots of girls come to me for autographs and ask me numerous questions. I feel happy that everyone likes me.
Mona > Hi Gurpreet. Very honestly, tell me were you nervous about replacing a popular actor like Rajeev in the role of "Sujal?"
Gurpreet Singh > No, I was not. I was not nervous. I was very happy to do the role. It was a challenge for me.
Rima > How have people reacted to you after you donned "Sujal's" avtaar? Has the reaction been the same as Rajeev received or it is lesser in popularity now?
Gurpreet Singh > I can't say as I don't know how popular Rajeev was because before getting this serial I did not know anything about Rajeev or "Sujal." The reaction has been good towards me. People are appreciating me.
