New Kid: Kavi Shastri
Kavi Shastri, young actor from London was seen in a small role in Imtiaz Ali's Love Aaj Kal and now he is making his TV debut in Rishta.com on January, 2010 through Yash Raj.He plays a character called Rohan Mehra.
About his character
He plays Rohan Mehra, a classic playful women's man. His charisma always gets him enough attention from women. At work, Rohan is laidback, cool and almost callous with finding the right match, but his unmistakable instinct always helps him figure the right match.
We spoke to Kavi Shastri about his big TV debut
"I did love Aaj Kal with Saif Ali Khan and this made me do more work back in Mumbai and so for this role of Rohan I gave auditions in Yash Raj, and after long waiting finally I got selected for Rishta.com."
Further, he told us, "My lovely family is in London and even my brother is also back there so I am just jealous as in London it's snowing. It is fun to be in Mumbai. I am taking Hindi lessons from Vikas Kumar who is also in the Powder show and so I am in the learning process reading script too."
To know more about Kavi Shastri

Interests: Reading, movies and love to drink.
When did the acting bug bite? At the age 9th I went to drama school and my dad told me to join acting school instead of playing soccer.
Favourite Actor: Shahrukh Khan, Al Pacino
Favourite Actress: Madhuri Dixit, Julia Roberts
Favourite Film: It has to be Dilwale Dhulanniya….and God father 2
A role I would love to reprise: I think Aamir Khan of Dil Chahta Hai
Did you attend acting classes? First in Padmini Kolapure Acting School and at Italia Conti Academy.
Preconceived notion of the television industry: Back home in London, every actor loves to do TV shows and also be in films while in India-film stars can't do TV shows, they hesitate, which is odd."
If not an actor: Lawyer.
