Karan Patel AKA Robbie of 'Kasturi' fame has become the latest heart-throb among teenage girls. He is quite confident with practically everything he does – be it his participation in 'Nach Baliye 3' or his stint in Bollywood. Let's read what the rockstar has to say about things close to his heart.
Talking about Robbie, do you find any similarities between Karan and Robbie?
Quite a few similarities; Robbie is a young character; he is flamboyant and fun loving. That is exactly the way I am in my real life as well.
You seem to be very loyal to Balaji Telefilms. Will you ever work outside Balaji Telefilms?
Balaji is fantastic and it's the best place to work.
How comfortable are you in depicting characters older that your age?
I am not very comfortable with characters older than my age. To play a character, I need to look like one and then, I can convince the audiences. If you don't fit the bill and if you don't look like one, what's the point? In that case it does not matter how you act, people would always know that you are faking one.
How was Karan as a toddler?
I had a very mischievous childhood. I was very restless and would never sit in one place. Getting suspended from school was not unusual. I must say I had lot of fun as a child.
How excited are you about your participation in Nach Baliye 3?
I am very excited about 'Nach Baliye 3'.
So how do you manage your rehearsals 'Nach Baliye 3' and hectic shooting acting?
To be very honest, I am not able to give much time for my rehearsals because of time but, I manage the rehearsals as and when I get time.
What do you have to say about Amita as a dancer?
She is alright but, is trying very hard.
How sure are you about you winning the competition?
I have not thought so far. It will happen if it's destined.
Did you watch previous 'Nach Baliye' episodes?
(Thinks hard) Yes, I did.
How do you feel when your fans compare you to Shahrukh Khan?
It's fantastic and amazing to hear something like that.
How is Shubhangi AKA 'Kasturi' as a co-artist?
She is a good girl and she has a very cute kid.
How do you see marriage when it comes to your real life?
It should happen. It's a nice thing to happen. I don't know whether it will happen in the near future but, will surely happen.
Where do you see yourself five years down the line?
I don't know.
