Amit Tandon actor

How did you enter the TV world?
I started my career as a Channel [V] VJ. I also was one of the 10 finalists of Indian Idol. This gave me a bigger platform where I was noticed. Thus, I made my foray into TV serials, my first one being Ekta Kapoor s Kaisa Yeh Pyar Hai.

What are your current projects on television?
I m currently working in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi on Star Plus. Here, I play the role of Manthan, Karan and Tanya Virani s son.

What character do you play?
My character is typically of a bade baap ki bigdi hui aulad! Manthan is over confident and proud since his father s a billionaire. He misuses his power. Basically, his is a very selfish character.

How far do you relate to this character?
I am diametrically opposite to the billionaire s son that I portray. We have nothing in common.

Can you tell us something about your hobbies?
I like singing, watching movies, listening to music and playing squash.

Which has been the happiest moment in your life?
The happiest moment of my life was when I signed my first television serial.

What kind of roles do you like to play?
I like to play characters which have lots of emotion and many shades. But more than positive characters, I like to play the negative ones as they call for more creativity and effort.

What are your future projects?
I want to launch my music album. As far as my future projects are concerned, I will be starring in a show which will release, maybe, next month. The name of the show has not yet
been decided.
