He is a fighter and refuses to call it quits.

He makes things happen. And he's hopeful to carve a niche for himself without any godfather in the entertainment industry. That's television actor Amit Tandon for you.

Acting and singing both come easy to him. Now that his album 'Tanha' is ready for release and he's all set to do a music related reality show, things are looking up for him.

He says, "Any performer would like to take up movies because of the large scale of scope it offers. But I am not intending to take on a role unless I am convinced that it is a major one and will get registered with the audience. But before that happens, producers need to believe that I am worth the money and bankable enough for them. In fact, I have started working on this aspect. I am trying to establish a star value by offering different levels of performance as a singer, actor and anchor to make the producers feel safe about the fact that I can bring desirable level of success to their projects." Well, that's not enough for him. He has also plans of direction. "I already have ideas. But too many things will probably spoil the soup. I definitely seem myself directing at some point though," says Amit.

Did he have any apprehensions before coming here? Amit says, "Initially I was hesitant about audiences accepting me. To top it. my Hindi was very poor which made me quite nervous in the beginning."

Ask him about his journey till now and he answers, "My grandfather has been my inspiration as he always believed in me. That apart my wife Ruby has been very supportive of all my endeavours. She left her well established career as a cosmetic dermatologist to be with me and give all support. That makes me believe in the power of love and inspires me to do even better in my career. I am lucky to have her in my life."

That sounds almost like a dialogue from a Bollywood blockbuster. But then that's the stuff dreams are made of.
