Eijaz comes clean
Kkavya of Kkavyanjali talks about sudden media shyness, Ekta Kapoor and women in his life
Reena Thapar Kapoor
At a time when almost the entire television fraternity is on a break, Eijaz Khan is busy slogging in the smelly studios. "Hey, but I'm not complaining," he assures. Post Kkavyanjali, Khan has been keeping a low profile. He says, "I want to be known for my work. I want people to relate to me as an actor. But this doesn't mean that I'm not friendly or open to meeting people in general."
Ekta Kapoor is completely impressed with his acting abilities, "Ekta thinks that I can fit in any role. I've played all types of roles. I'm sure I can even play a girl's role with great conviction if need be."
After having gained immense popularity in Kkavyanjali, how does he feel about Rakshak Sahni's (former Kavya) bitter attitude? He says, "If Rakshak is bitter, then it is his problem," he says. "I've met him once at Ekta Kapoor's party. He is a good looking guy. Unfortunately, he couldn't handle the pressures of a brand new daily show. He fumbled and had to leave, what is my fault in that? In the past, even I was thrown out of a show, so did I go around creating controversies?" Talking about controversies, his relationship with Karishma Tanna ended on a rather unpleasant note, "Karishma and I worked together for a while so getting close was inevitable. She is an intelligent woman and I feel that whatever she said about me in print is something that she shouldn't have."
So, is he seeing someone now? "I don't kiss and tell," he shrugs. What about Natassha aka Anita? "Anita and I share a great comfort level. I can say that I'm closest to her. Being a self confessed hot-headed individual, has he ever taken his anger out on a colleague?
"I've screamed at the production guys but that's all. I don't go around bashing people up," he laughs.
