'I am more romantic than Angad'

Angad...errr..Iqbal Khan, the new poster boy and Ekta Kapoor's rockstar is a simple and down-to-earth person quite contrary to his screen self. No wonder, he is the current heart throb of not just teeny boppers but scores of housewives who religiously watch his soaps. With two daily shows Kaisa Yeh Pyaar Hai and Kaavyanjali in his kitty, his schedule is packed.

ShaadiTimes catches up with him in his vanity van on the sets of Kaavyanjali when he takes some time off to have his lunch and becomes candid.

Quite unlike others who graduate to films from TV, Iqbal Khan came back to TV after starting off with two films. "After college I started modelling in Delhi and eventually came to Mumbai and did few music videos. Then I signed up two films Fun2shh and Bullet - Ek Dhamaka which bombed at the box office. After that I was jobless for one year until one fine day when I was offered the lead role in a daily soap under Balaji. I wasn't too sure and then I spoke to my parents and finally took up the assignment. It worked out and people began to notice me. I like to act. The medium does not matter. Television is big these days. Look at the Kahaani people. They get mobbed wherever they go. I would definitely consider film offers but they have to be as big as Angad," reflects Iqbal.
