Makrand ke jaal mein

He was loved for his fiery role in Jungle and many other Bollywood flicks. Now the guy-with-a-vague-hairstyle, Makrand Deshpande, has stormed the television world with the best production house in the circuit - Balaji Telefilms. Deebashree Mohanty chats him up

How is it to work for Balaji Productions?------They are the best in business and very professional so it is great to be associated with them. I am sure this is the right platform for me to resume my innings on the small screen after such a long break.

Your character on Kyunkii?

I love it. It is a well-defined role and I jumped at the opportunity. I have to manage my dates but I am sure I can do that.

How did it come about?

I was sitting at a coffee home quite unaware of Ekta's presence on the next table. Suddenly, she walked up to me and wanted to have a word with me. We started talking about everything apart from work. Then she suddenly told me that she had a slot free that could well suit me. Hearing the script, I was impressed.

Any special moments in the serial?
Yes. There have been many. Like my first shot with Hiten Tejwani. I was having a problem rehearsing my lines in Hindi and everything was gibberish. A very co-operative Hiten held his laughter till everyone else burst out at the hilarious sight of me speaking Hindi.

Your equation with other stars?

They are very cordial. I used to watch Kyunkii before I got busy with films. It is great sharing the set with Smriti Irani. She is a very talented actress and a good human being.

Is this a permanent shift from the big screen?

No. Not as yet. Cinema is my first love and will always remain so. Television is just a part time affair. For the moment though, I am pretty happy with the way things are going on with me and Kyunkii.
