Aaj ka Arjun

The actor on his career marching ahead 'Left Right Left'

For someone who began his acting career by borrowing money to shoot his portfolio, it's been a successful journey. Arjun Bijlani who plays Alekh in 'Left Right Left' ('LRL') on SAB gets candid...

Unusual start
"My dad had said a strict 'no' to acting. So I had to borrow money from a friend to get my portfolio done. But I was able to return the money in 15 days thanks to the number of offers that started pouring in," says Arjun.

Big time bonding
"'LRL' is like my baby. I have been working on the show since almost nine months. We all have grown very close to each other. We go out together, eat together, the bonding is amazing. I'm very close to Vikas Mankatala(Huda) and Priyanka Bassi (Naina)," says Arjun.

Tell tale
He recollects a funny incident saying, "During one of the shoots Vikas broke an egg on Harshad Chopra's (Ali) head. It was really funny considering that Harshad is a vegetarian. His expression was worth seeing then."

He adds, "Rajeev (Khandelwal) is a wonderful guy, always joking and having fun. We look up to him as a senior. Shweta (Salve) is more like a friend," Arjun asserts.

Alekh vs Arjun
Arjun talks about Alekh, the character he plays almost 25 days a month. "I've been living it. The Bombaiya language that Alekh speaks is something that I've got accustomed to," he says. He adds, "Some days back I came home and said 'Mummy apun ko khana de!'. My mom was shocked."

However, Arjun is very different from the character he portrays, "I'm a happy go lucky guy. In fact, now my character Alekh, who was initially serious, has started having fun in his own way in the show."

Fanfare
Arjun enjoys his fan following. He says, "There is this fan from Darjeeling who dedicatedly follows 'LRL'. She mails and messages me about the show. I've even had fans messaging me from Denmark.

They download the show from the internet." Ask him about his personal life and he quips, "Work doesn't give time for a girlfriend."

Thanks for the article 😊 wasey his most of the answers r similar to the one he gave in IF interview 😉 and i strongly believe he should be given more coverage in media as we see very less of him and Yudi and more of Naina and Huda

Moreover i don't understand those who work with Rajeev give so much respect and talks high of him on the other hand Media people are opposite to him 😡 😡 😡
