wht hussain says abt rajeevz decision!

Who's bad? Not the boob tube star

Myth: Small screen actors are dying to do meaty roles, and don't
mind experimenting with their image if directors want them to.

Reality: Once they become stars, they want roles and scripts
tailormade to suit their image. If stardom brings with it the
liberty to choose roles, idiot box stars often use it to play safe
with the image they project. Not many, it seems, want to be bad on
the telly.

Ask Rajeev Khandelwal. After Akashdeep Saigal as Ansh offended
popular sensibilities by playing the rapist in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi
Bahu Thi, Khandelwal has become cautious. The dashing hero of Ekta
Kapoor's Kahin To Hoga has chucked his lead role because he doesn't
want to be part of a particular track that involves rape. "I was
told my character Sujal has to rape his sister-in-law Charu to teach
his wife Kashish a lesson. I didn't want to portray such a negative
image," he says.

Episode director Anil V. Kumar confirms he hasn't shot with
Khandelwal for Kahin To... since December 15. And Kapoor is
reportedly scouting for a new face to play Sujal.So is sticking to a
safe image the mantra for boob tube stardom? Not all actors agree.
Says Eijaz Khan, who did a marital rape sequence in Kkuch Dil
Mein: "Actors should honour commitments. If the script demands a
rape sequence, it would be unprofessional to refuse."

Agrees Hiten Tejwani, who "almost did a marital rape sequence" in
Kutumb: "On TV, actors seldom cross the limits of decency. In
Kyunki..., the marital rape sequence was meant to project Ansh in a
negative light and justify Tulsi's shooting him." Others feel an
actor, by refusing to project a particular image, is merely going by
his own instinct. Says Amarr Upadhay, the original Mihir in
Kyunki..., who now stars in Saathiya: "Actors are allowed to have
their own opinions.

I can't comment on Rajeev's decision. It's his choice after all."
Agrees Hussain Kuwajerwala, the male lead in Kumkum: "An actor
should simply go by what his instincts tell him to do."
