In his seven-year career on Indian television, actor Karan Grover has managed working in four daily soaps and one reality dance show. However, the TV soap Saarrthi-actor is not entirely happy with the content television programmes on air these days, and feels that if films and other

shows, even on the international stage, are to be aped, then it must be done with conviction.

Grover, who is an avid follower of several American sitcoms, feels that adapting some of them will help garner viewership of younger audiences. And the young actor has several creative ideas of his own.

Importing concepts
"I think we can make a great Indian version of the show Heroes. Their mythology is heavily lifted from ours," he says, adding, "One can fly, another can see the future. When you think of Hanuman and Shiva, you realise that Indians have been doing this for ages. We just don't manage to project it well for some reason."

Referring to the current situation as 'creative bankruptcy', the Nach Baliye 3 participant says, "Earlier these problems didn't exist because there was more time spent on creating one single episode. I act in daily soaps and I love them, but in many cases, the content is compromised upon."

New age Mahabharata?
A huge fan of the Lord of The Rings trilogy, Grover is excited by the thought of using its format to recreate the Mahabharata on screen.

He explains, "Imagine Abhimanyu as Frodo Baggins and a 15-feet tall Bhim. Think about it, if he can lift an elephant and throw it, he cant be only six-feet tall!" The actor's only grouse is that producers think their audiences 'wont understand'.

"My 'dadi' (grandmother) saw Smita Patil's films and she loved Nukkad, which was sensible. She still watches TV, but wonders what is going on. The audience hasn't changed, they understand everything!"

Guys i got another article which is published in d same newspaper on 03 feb,2011

After Karan Grover's character mysteriously goes missing after falling into a ditch on the show Yahaaan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli, he makes a return. But this time as a 'rebellious bad boy' character called Ranchod Tiwary. For the role Grover had to wear clothes with loud patterns on them,

funky lockets, multiple rings and a 777 tattoo on his hand. Says he, "I have played Karan, the charming, decent 'good boy' all this while and thoroughly enjoyed the audiences' response. Now it is time for me to have some fun playing a street-smart guy with a lot of attitude."

Tiwary's look is a huge contrast to the role he has portrayed on the show so far. He even fashions a goatee and the complete out-of-bed hair look for a lot of scenes. Sources from the set reveal that he has taken a lot of personal interest in creating his new look, his punch lines and is literally living the character.

Adds Grover, "The look for Ranchod Tiwary is very different from what they have ever seen me as. It is a big surprise for my fans and I hope they love and accept Ranchod just as much as they liked Karan."
