Sharad Kelkar and wife Keerti have just returned from a three-day trip to America. The couple alongwith Gurdip Kohli and her mother were invited to take part in a local show organised by some resident Indians. Still recovering from jet lag, Sharad said, "It was one of the most fun trips in terms of meeting fans and interacting with people. However, we also had our share of troubles and delays."
The actor misplaced his luggage after a connecting flight got cancelled. "It was scary for a while as the airports are huge and people keep travelling all the time. Thankfully, we managed to recover our bags on the next flight."
Aap ke dewaane
Keerti was so overwhelmed by Sharad's female fan following that she had to constantly keep an eye on him. "They were mad about him, chanting Nahar wherever he went. Also, many girls were unaware of the fact that he is married to me, so it was quite funny. When we went to Houston (Texas), we discovered that it's like a mini India. They watch all our shows and know exactly what's happening with the characters we play."
Sharad, the singer
Sharad's favourite moment during the stay was when he sang an impromptu version of Khaike paan banaraswala. "I have sung this song during my college days when I was studying for a MBA. In fact, I even won a prize in the solo singing competition for that song. So when people at the show requested me to sing, I knew what song to sing."
Wasn't he nervous singing in front of so many people? "I know the song really well so it wasn't a problem."
Keerti added that not many people know about his hidden passion for singing. "He is a really good singer. Sharad would sing a lot during his college days, but now he doesn't have much time due to his work." When asked if Keerti got any time to shop she said, "I just picked up stuff from the airport. We were travelling for most of the time." Are they looking forward to go back to the US? "I am planning to make trip in September, if work permits," said Sharad.
