GHT's New Vanture
BarCode 053
Television's most loved couple Hiten and Gauri Tejwani have started a business venture. They are proud owner of Barcode 053 Lounge.
"We have taken a franchise of Dino Morea's chain of cafs. The idea was floated to us by Dino's brother Nicolo Morea. It's a good idea to run something, when you consider that the television industry is going through a slump," said Gauri.
It was Gauri and Hiten's passion for food that drove them to this venture. "Cooking at home and cooking at a restaurant are two different ball games. I guess I am better off cooking at home. I think that I can only give my inputs when it comes to food, I would prefer Hiten to do the honours when it comes to money and other business decisions."
On asking them what their next venture was, Gauri said that she and Hiten had plans of opening a fine dine restaurant in Mumbai, if this one does well.

My kids' first raksha bandhan
By: Hiten Tejwani Date: 2010-08-25 Place: Mumbai
Yesterday was the first Raksha Bandhan for my nine-month-old twins, son Nevaan and daughter Katya. They were both dressed in Indian attire and looked very cute. I had a pretty relaxed day, spending time and playing with the kids. I don't have a sister, and so either my bua (father's sister) or one of my aunts ties me a rakhi. Professionally, my wife Gauri and I recently opened a restaurant. Things are still in the teething stage. I am keen to get the restaurant going, and to ensure that it has a personal touch. This is a new field for both of us, so there is a lot to learn.
Towards the end of the year or maybe early next year, I hope to take Gauri and the kids on a long overdue vacation, possibly to France. I'm also looking forward to catching The Expendables, as I've heard many good things about it.
TV actors Gauri and Hiten Tejwani talk about graduating from being life partners to
being business partners
Actor Gauri Tejwani admits that there were some initial teething problems after she decided to do business with her actor husband Hiten. But at the same time, she laughs it off when we tell her that being business partners with her husband is not that much of a good idea.
"I don't think it will hamper anything. I think it is a good idea. It will help us in business, there's no question of boredom setting in," she says confidently even as husband Hiten butts in to say that they will be maintaining their respective careers as actors.
"Since we will be concentrating on our careers as actors we would not be seeing each other 24 hours a day. We will also be staying away from each other. I don't think I could have trusted anybody more than my wife on this one," says Hiten.
So, what inspired them to launch a business of their own other than the fact that the TV industry is going through a particular slump? "Yes, we have taken a franchise of Dino Morea's cafe chain but it was not him who suggested that we start a franchise, we would give more credit to Dino's brother (Nicolo Morea). He was the one who suggested that we should start a chain and it caught our fancy," says Gauri.
Of course, it was Gauri and Hiten's common passion for food that drove them to this venture. "You know something? Cooking at home and cooking at a restaurant are two different ball games. I guess I am better off cooking at hom...
From being a popular television celebrity couple Gauri Hiten to launching a restobar, the duo believes they work best in partnership
We know Gauri and Hiten Tejwani as Indian television's most-loved couple. But when we meet them at Lokhandwala restobar, Barcode 053, at Lokhandwala we discover a new facet to them. The restobar is a week old, but the two seem immersed in figuring out the nitty-gritties of the place.Hiten is jovial and enjoys talking to his staff and customers, whereas Gauri is the taskmaster. While she checks on the furniture, crockery and the little garden outside, he makes sure that the pending work is sorted. Together, they make a lethal combination. "But she is the boss here," declares Hiten. "The restaurant is her baby. I will come here whenever I have nothing else to do," he laughs.
While the careers of both Gauri and Hiten catapulted to success with the Balaji serial Kutumb, it was their pairing in Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi that consolidated their position at the top. After several years of work on television, it was Gauri who felt the need to do something creative, and hence zeroed-in on this project. "I have always wanted to be an entrepreneur. I never wanted to work under anybody. This restobar gives me that chance to be the businesswoman I always wanted to be," says Gauri as she checks on the lighting of the place. It was also the birth of their twins, Nevaan and Kaatiya, that prompted Gauri into taking a break from television, and try her hand at something else. "I am happy in my space looking, after my kids and now this place. I don't miss being on TV," she says as she calls for the menu.
The restaurant oozes a good vibe and the wooden seating and the glass doors lend the place a clean, casual feel. An equipped bar with an impressive variety, sits one side. Since it is a franchise of the popular Crepe Station chain, the menu more or less remains the same, with focus on food items like pastas, sandwiches, burgers and crepes. "All said and done, we are not from the hospitality industry. So we wanted to partner with someone who knows the business well," says Hiten, who attributes his interest in the venture to his Sindhi genes. What is unique to the restaurant, however, is the Lunch and Dinner Box concept. "There are close to 50,000 offices around. People will naturally want to take a break from their regular food. We offer them an alternative," says Gauri, who summons the waiter to place an order for bruschetta and mocktails.
Over the last two years, the audience has sorely missed watching the two on screen together. "I know we work best in partnership. But sometimes we do get bored of working with each other," says Gauri. Hiten seconds the thought. "We are actors. We must get a chance to work with others."Hiten also reveals that he has a big show coming up, which will challenge him as an actor. "The only reason I did not take up any TV projects was because I was not offered a good subject. I did Chhoti Bahu because I had a negative role in the show," explains the seasoned actor.
Gauri is quick to add that he is not allowed to work long hours now. "If he comes home late, he will have to stay in the elevator." Hiten smiles and adds, "I was given this ultimatum soon after our marriage." For now, though, the couple is waiting for the business to pick up. "It is bound to take time, but the buzz is good," says Gauri, who next plans to set up a store to sell paintings. "In fact, that was my first dream project. I did not find a suitable place then. Hopefully, it should now fall into place."
