My Character & I
By: Shaheen Parkar
May 8, 2007

Nikkhil Arya plays a ghar jamaai in the Star daily Kasturi. Here, he talks about the character, also called Nikkhil!


Nikkhil loves to mess up other people's lives in Kasturi?



The small screen is full of vamps, and I play the male version of a vamp! I sport blue lenses and a stubble, reeking of attitude.

So he is brash and outspoken?

Absolutely. It's his way — the easy way — always. He knows his wife Alaana (Priti Gupta) is besotted by him, so he conveniently parks himself at his in-laws place and lives off them.

What is your relationship with Kasturi like?

Kasturi works as his assistant. The folks at the music company have intentionally hired a simple, middle-class girl so that I don't flirt with her. So I give her a lot of grief. I'm a demanding boss.

Are there Nikkhils in real life?

There are so many ghar-jamaais perfectly ensconced at their wife's side.. In that sense, it is believable.
