No one likes to play grandfather: Hiten Tejwani
Hiten Tejwani More Pics
Pavitra Rishta is headed for a time leap yet again, with Hiten Tejwani set to play grandfather and Ankita Lokhande (in a double role) geared to play his wife as well as granddaughter.

Hiten has no complaints, but says, "No one likes to play grandfather, especially when you are a father of two toddlers in real life. But there's nothing I can do about it. I am a professional, so I will take this change in my stride."

The leap, he says, will give him time to concentrate on newer projects. "I want to play roles where my absence should be felt. It may not necessarily be a lead role, but my character should be crucial to the show."

About Pavitra Rishta's leap, Hiten says, "We don't know what goes on between channels and production houses. We just have to accept it. Probably, there is nothing left to explore in the current track."

Hiten is such a talented actor. He should definitely take up something outside Balaji if Ekta cannot offer him anything challenging and better now. I read somewhere that he is doing a cameo in Akshay Kumar's film? Good. If his work is noticed he can get bigger and better roles in BW, TV actors are being applauded these days even for small impressive roles. I loved Vikrant Massey in Lootera.

Really feeling bad for Hiten. He is so talented actor. He deserves much better!
And now my respect for him is more than before. He is a true professional!
Hope he gets some good offers other than PR.

"I want to play roles where my absence should be felt. It may not necessarily be a lead role, but my character should be crucial to the show."
The above statement clearly indicates what Hiten means.Manav is reduced to nothing but a guest appearance character with nothing much to do.
I feel really bad for Hiten,such a seasoned, experienced n popular actor being treated like this but still he continuous to do his job with no qualm.Happy to hear that Hiten has several other good projects to work on which he can focus on while the leap takes place.I hope those projects are outside Balaji and with some good product houses like Rajan Sahi's or Sumeet mittal's where he is bound to get much better character graph and well deserved appreciation.

Hiten is clearly not that happy with the show and the fact that he will have to play a grandfather .It's good that he complained .He should look around for other oppurtunities .Ekta Kapoor will keep taking him for granted .
He is a good looking fellow and a talented actor .I am sure that there will be better work for him if he really looks around .

hmm if the show has nothing new to offer hiten why not relieve him ekta then bonding him he wont quit show on own so either u make his role relevant post leap or let him go but no u wont do that na atleast consider him for ur new shows and as lead and no replacement he is very much capable of creating chemistry and performing well if given chance

Yes, definitely playing a grandfather is not a happy decision.
But he does have the choice to leave, I suppose.
