'Shubhangi does not exist for me'
It is a reality show on 9X, in which twelve celebrities have been paired with twelve newcomers. Every zone has four pairs and a mentor. The winning pair will get to act in a film produced by Ekta Kapoor and directed by Apoorva Lakhia. I am a part of the West Zone and my mentor is Mahesh Manjrekar.
How is it having Mahesh around as you mentor?
Mahesh is full of energy and humour. He is a strict taskmaster but is also a fantastic human being. As an actor I have a lot to learn from him.
This is your second reality show after Nach Baliye 2. What made you say yes for this show?
I took up Kaun Jeetega... not only because reality shows are hit with the viewers, but, also because of the novelty of the concept.
Your spat with co-star Shubhangi Atrey is out in the open. What is the equation really like?
I have said it earlier and am reiterating that Shubhangi is the worst thing that could have happened to Kasturi and it's impossible that our equation will ever change for the better. People like her are not a part of my planet.
What are you plans for the future?
Right now I am too busy to think of doing anything more than what I am currently engaged with, but, I plan to open a production house.
And your plans for settling down in life?
Jab girlfriend mil jayegi, toh shaadi bhi ho jayegi.
