Television was never-article on jay

Rithvik Dhanjani began his television journey as a lovelorn werewolf in Pyaar Ki Yeh Ek Kahaani, and now he is back again on the small screen as Arjun in his new show Pavitra Rishta following the leap.

Earlier he has tried his hands in dance, modeling and featuring in a number of television commercials, but eventually found his feet in the showbiz industry. He admits that it has always been his dream to be in the entertainment industry. "I was never cut out for a desk job," he swans.

Although, he always wanted to be an actor, television was never really the final destination. He says, "I never wanted to do television. But then I was offered the role of Jeh Khurana in Pyaar Kii Yeh Ek Kahaani. Ekta had immense trust in me and it was my responsibility to do justice to the character."

Even though he is just two shows old in the industry, Rithvik feels strongly about the entertainment industry. "All shows that are screened today are over dramatic. But that is what works. These daily soaps are not just a medium of story-telling. Their primary motive is to entertain the audience. People who do not like these shows should watch art movies," he says.

Well, now it has to be seen if people follow his advice or not!
