It's very different from acting. It's a new thing for me and I've taken it up as a challenge. My character in Saath Phere, Nahar Singh, has given me a name and now I am trying out a different field. I find the new role exciting where I have to be the best every day.
What made you accept this offer?
Firstly, it was a great opportunity. I knew the unit as I had worked with them earlier and I gel well with them. Secondly, Rock N Roll Family is a unique show, which is different from the dance shows that we see on TV. It's a pleasure to watch 75-year olds dance with their grandchildren. It not only gives one scope to see close-knit joint families, which are rare these days, it also extols family bonding. In fact after associating myself with this show I have made it a point to spent at least one hour every day with my mother after I return home from shooting (laughs). This show brings one closer to one's family.
Are we going to see you more frequently as a host?
I hope so (laughs). I am enjoying my soap immensely. Since acting is a vast field, I would love to play other roles in the showbiz.
Are you excited over sharing the screen space with Kajol, Ajay Devgan and Tanuja?
They are big stars and it's an honour for me to work with them. As an actor it's a matter of joy for me to meet a National Award-winning actor like Ajay and work with him.
How do you think Rock N Roll Family is going to stand out among other reality shows?
The show is a first-of-its kind on television. Concept wise it's different. Apart from that, faces that were not seen on reality shows earlier will be seen here.
What else are you doing?
Nothing much. Saath Phere and this show are enough for me. After this I might try out something. Offers of acting in films were there, but the roles didn't excite me.
Is Sharad Kelkar a family person?
Yes, very much. I do not party much and prefer spending time with my wife Keerti, my mother and other family members.
