iqbal's aricle...

Meet Iqbal Khan, model-turned-actor, who is winning attention with the Sony's show Kaisa Yeh Pyar Hai. After two unfortunate movies Fun2sh and Bullets, Khan went ahead with advertisements and then landed a role in the Balaji soap. "I didn't find anything exciting after these movies. Morever, that was the time when Murder has become big and every director wanted to make a 'sexy' film and that didn't interest me." He says further, "Indeed I wasn't prepared for TV too, so I spent the last year without anything concrete in hand. Since, I went to Mumbai after a successful stint of modelling, I wanted to graduate to other things in life," says Khan.

In the new show Khan plays a desi rockstar and was happy not be involved with the usual saas-bahu soaps. "I got a few calls from Sony but I wasn't sure. But they were so persistent that I thought I'd try it out and it worked. It was a prime time slot and I was to play the main lead. And so it began rolling."
He has become quite a star but he says that success hasn't affected him. "I still travel in autos as I don't have a car right now and it doesn't matter, I'm working hard and I'm on my own I'm not one of those rich kids," says Khan who hails from Srinagar. "My parents in fact, are still there. I'm the black sheep of the family, my sisters are all qualified professionals," he adds.

Right now he is enjoying life playing the rockstar and has started relating to his on screen character Angad. "He's this cool rockstar who has lived life on the edge with women and fame all around him. And then suddenly he finds himself in love and consequently a very changed person. He is a much softer guy now. And that's very much like me," he says.
