Hiten Tejwani (Karan-Kyunki..) has a younger brother called Hitesh who is the director of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.
Hitesh had assisted Santram Verma, another Balaji director for four years and later worked as director with the production house of Ek Ladki Anjaani Si(Sony TV). He has also worked on several albums with Delhi based producers.
Hitesh says "Hiten was more into acting and I was more into dancing. But after sometime I took my career seriously and took keen interest in directing. I started getting exciting offers from many production houses. I showed my work portfolio to Balaji production people and they liked it. Hence I was signed as the director of the show".
Hitesh did not get work with Balajis because of his actor-brother, but due to his on own work portfolio.
However Hiten does help Hitesh sometimes with his work and it makes Hitesh very happy and excited as he directs his brother in one of the most popular show on television.
Hitesh has no plans to enter into the acting field and happy to be behind the cameras as a director.
