Contrary to what is shown on TV, at times the cackling chemistry between an on screen couple may be quite thanda off-screen. If Lakshya is able to look at Krishna Tulsi with eyes full of love, then you probably are not aware that in real life, Pulkit Samrat and Mouni Roy don't exactly share the best vibes off-screen. Ask Pulkit about this and he admits to the rumour. "Yes, we don't gel very well and I don't know why. We greet each other cordially and then get on with our work," he says. But Pulkit adds that it's not that they fight or anything of that sort. "It's just that some people click with you better than others and Mouni is not one of them," he adds. So who is he friendly with on the sets of the show? "There are mainly three people who I gel with and that's Manav, Amit Tandon and Resshmi Ghosh. From the older generation, I treat Baa like my girlfriend! Rakshanda Khan's a sweetheart and Mihir dadu is the one I go to when I need some advice," he candidly informs.
The lad from Delhi, who came to Mumbai with dreams of becoming an actor, is quite happy with the way his career is progressing. "I've wanted to become an actor ever since I can remember. So to fulfil my dream, I joined a modelling agency and I came to Mumbai to shoot for a commercial," he recalls. And although he was selected for the lead role in a show called Sixer, it didn't take off and Pulkit landed himself Lakshya's role in Kyunki... Wasn't he afraid of losing himself in a show which has so many characters? "I always knew it's going to be Tulsi's show because it's her story. But when I heard the narration, I knew that Lakshya would be an important part of the show and that's how it's been," says the blue-eyed actor.
And although the next step is films, Pulkit says that he's thoroughly focussed on Kyunki... for the moment. "It's a good start for me and I want to give it my best," he says. Unlike other actors who clam up when it comes to their personal life, Pulkit has no problems admitting that there's somebody waiting back in Delhi for him. "But I won't give you her name!" he laughs before adding, "She's not insecure at all. She loves it when girls fall for me!"
