Karving up a Kareer!
He has a long history of teleserials behind him! Today he's playing the cool-looking lover of Anjali in Balaji Telefilms Kkavyanjali. Let's meet Eijaz Khan!
Could you tell us your career path that finally led to Kkavyanjali?
I began a few years ago with the serial Kul Vadu which was supposed to be for Sahara, but it did not take off. Later I got an offer for Keshav and by the time it went on air I was replaced in Kahin Ho To Hoga for Star Plus which, incidentally, was my first serial to be aired. After which I landed a role in Koi Dil Me Hai where I replaced Amit Sadh. Koi Dil Me Hai happened to be almost the same as Kul Vadu. I did all three serials at the same time. My roles in the serials were coming to an end and I moved onto other serials. I was then cast in Kkusum, but then soon after, my character was killed and I was out of it for I had Kkavyanjali coming up. At the same time I also did Kya Hadsa Kya Haqeeqat.
What role are you playing in the serial?
I am playing the lead of Kkavy. I like the role very much and being a new serial it's really catching on with the viewers. I have received a lot of positive feedback and am very happy about it.
Is the role you are playing to your liking? Does it meet with your demands?
Yes. I like the role very much and it's something that I was looking out for a long time.
How was it working with Ekta Kapoor?
Working with Ekta has been a nice experience for she's a great person to work with, and she really knows what she wants.
And with Amrita Singh?
I used to see her movies when I was a kid. To work with her is an honour. She is a great actress and carries herself very well. Playing a negative role, she comes out as a very refined actress. I admire her.
Who would you say has helped you make it so far?
It has to be Sandip Sikander and Nivedita Basu.
What roles do you normally like to play?
Negative roles.
Have you ever tried you hand at Bollywood?
Yes. In 2003 I did an item song, 'Dilli ki sardi' for Zameer. I've also done many music videos and ad films. You can count among them Chloromint, Breeze, Visa Electron, TVS Victor and Wrigleys. That's all that I can remember at the moment.
Can you tell us about your school and college days?
I used to live at Chembur and studied till the 10th class at Our Lady of Perpetual Succor High School. I am a science student from Datta Meghe College, Airoli. I later did my Civil Engineering for four years. I also handled the family business for some time. We deal in shock absorbers. Now since most of my time is spent acting, I cannot concentrate on the business, so my brother and dad handle it.
What about your parents?
I lost my mum sometime back and I have my dad, an elder brother who lives in Mumbai and a sister who lives in Hyderabad. I live alone while dad lives with my brother.
What is you age and birth sign?
I am a Virgo, 29 years old and single.
wht r u waiting for girlz 😉
And you love...
watching movies, the outdoors, reading books and sports. I've got rods in my elbow due to an accident I suffered while playing rugby.
Have you signed up for any new projects?
No. I have no other serial in hand but Kkavyanjali. Not even Bollywood offers. I am concentrating solely on this serial. I'll look out for offers later in the year.
he shoo shweet isnt it 😃
