Looking dapper in the cool denims and hooded jacket, actor Darshan Pandya managed to turn quite a few heads as he struck poses at The RiverFront during his recent trip to Ahmedabad. The actor, who came into the limelight for hisimpressive performance in his debut TV show 'Aapki Antara' has been in the news for his recent endeavour in 'Kya Huaa Tera Vaada' where he played Vineet until recently. In town for a personal visit, Darshan says, "I have come here for few days as my parents and sister live here. I watched a film and enjoyed some lovely food in various restaurants in the city."

On work front, Darshan's role in Kya Huaa.., just came to an end. "I am glad my stint ended on a good note. I'd like to thank my colleagues and Ekta (Kapoor) who gave me such a good opportunity. It was a short, but beautiful journey. I enjoyed working with Mona (Singh). She is now a dear friend," says the actor. Quiz him about his equation withEkta Kapoor and he says, "I haven't had the chance to meet Ekta because of The Clash of timings of my shooting schedule. We are going to to meet next week."

On his acting itinerary, Darshan says, "I decide something and god has some other plans for me in store. I rather go with the flow." Darshan, who has done several off beat Gujarati plays in Mumbai, adds, "I want to do a Gujarati film. I am already in talks for a film with writer Rahul Patel. I'm happy with the way Kevi Rite Jaish makers were appreciated. I hope the Gujarati film industry undergoes changes and becomes popular like other regional film industries."

Quiz him on what matters the most on TV — looks or talent and Darshan says only "looks matter the most. You have to look good as the audiences watch you everyday." Darshan feels, today "television lacks talent — very few can act on TV. One hardly gets to see different expressions. Everyone in the industry only wants to make quick money and earn instant fame." He adds, "To sustain in TV, attitude, luck and hard work matter."

Darshan is quiet upset with the way the TV industry is functioning these days. "Today TV shows are only about characters. While making a show everyone wants everything instantly and that is where the quality suffers. Producers, writers to actors want things to done in a single take without worrying about quality. Whoever does things fast is considered the best in the industry."
