Hareem_m > Are you like "Angad", who doesn't believe in love? What do you look for in a girl and/or marriage?
Md Iqbal Khan > Oh, not at all! I totally believe in love. I basically and totally fall for simplicity. And the second thing (I would only come to know when I am in a relationship) is that she should respect my parents. It's very important.

Jenny > How is it like being "Angad" in KYPH and working with Ektaa Kapoor?
Md Iqbal Khan > It's brilliant, great. Till now it's the best thing that has happened to me (career wise).

Ritu > Hi Iqbal, don't you think that TV has given you a much more recognition than movies or would you still want to get back to movies?
Md Iqbal Khan > Yes, it's a fact that TV has given me more recognition. But, for an actor, the medium doesn't matter whether it's cinema or TV.

Hareem_m > What do you believe are your strengths as an actor and as a person? And what are your weaknesses?
Md Iqbal Khan > As an actor, my strength is I think my voice. And as a person, my strength is that I am a simple man and my needs are very basic. I am pretty confident as an actor. I wouldn't be in this line if I had any weaknesses. Weaknesses as a person - my parents.

Saurabh_soni004 > Does any casting couch exists, in modelling and did you face it?

Kali_C and Hareem_M > Do you believe that the character of "Angad" has become so popular due to the fact that he has grey shades in his character? Do you think the response to "Angad" would lessen if he became a completely positive character?
