Hiten's negative cut, albeit in Kasauti ...
Whenever any of her soaps is trailing in TRPs or needs a fresh impetus, the one actor on whom Ekta Kapoor depends on for a turnaround besides Ronit Roy is Hiten Tejwani. The latter has made a dramatic entry in Kasauti Zindagi Kay which underwent a generation leap last week. This is the first time Hiten is essaying a negative character Pratham Mittal, whose sole aim is to destroy Prerna's family. With a spiky haircut, light kohled eyes and a grey-brown French beard, Hiten looks every bit menacing. "I had to try three different haircuts before settling for this," he said. Interestingly, Hiten was called Pratham Mittal in his very first Balaji serial Kutumb. "In that serial, Pratham was a bratty, arrogant character but this Pratham is out-and-out a baddie," explains Hiten who has very fond memories of Kutumb where he met his soul- mate Gauri Pradhan.
