N ikhil Arya, earlier seen in Rabba Ishq Na Hove and Kesar, is doing a special ap- pearance in Ekta Kapoor's Kyun- ki... Saas Bhi Kabhie Bahu Thi. Born in Pune, the soft spoken, good looking actor has been call- ing Mumbai home for the past few years. A businessman-turned-model- and-actor, Arya sports a lean, mean look, courtesy yoga and meditation — and he is seven ki- los lighter. "I learnt yoga under BKS Iyengar but right now I do it on my own. I think an actor needs to focus all his energies on his craft. He can't afford to get dis- tracted or affected by stressful sit- uations. That's the reason I turned to yoga." Arya also spends time playing squash. He plays a suave "business man, Aseem Gupta, who is mar- ried to Nandini (Gauri Pradhan) in Kyunki... I did this role because he's calm and composed. Also, Ekta wanted me to play it." If not an actor I would have been a businessman, anything to do with marketing. Necessary for your existence Love whether it's towards my work or my people.
