Amit Tandon in the new Zee serial, Saath Banayenge Ek Aashiyaan
Amit Tandon tasted fame and success as a singer in Indian Idol and then as Prithvi of Kaisa Yeh Pyar Hai and Manthan of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Amit now returns to television after a hiatus with Zee?s new serial 'Saath Banaayenge Ek Aashiyaan'. The show will be seen occupying the afternoon slot at 1 pm. The Telly Buzz team caught up with Amit to know more about his new character.
Amit Tandon plays a businessman, a NRI named Abhay. He gives an insight to his character as he says, ? I am an NRI who has just returned to India with my wife. The show is all about relationships, generation gaps, the culture clash between people in India and NRIs. It revolves mostly round the way we adjust to the Indian lifestyle and adapt ourselves to how our elders want us to live. The role of my wife is essayed by a new actress, Pulika.?
Annotating on his new role, Amit says, ?This is a different kind of a role. I had done a negative character in KYPH, and am also anchoring a show on SAB TV called Bolo Yo which focuses on the life of youngsters. And in KSBKBT, I play a very macho guy. In this serial, my character is a goody two shoes with a romantic touch. He is very outspoken and like Prithvi, he does not believe in sacrificing anything in life. Instead, he will stretch himself to get what he wants.?
And will the audience see Amit as Manthan on-screen anytime in the near future? ?Regarding Manthan?, replies Amit, ?I guess it might be a permanent break from the show. I am quite happy with anchoring, my new role in Zee?s serial and my growth as a singer.
