A brush with reality

Amit Tandon, an Indian Idol contestant, is not acting

Anu Malik told me in today's competitive scenario, I should establish myself first as an actor Amit Tandon

CHANGING GEARS: Amit Tandon His name rings a bell. Faintly though. And when you see him, you can place him better. Because you have watched Sony TV's high-profile reality show, Indian Idol. With the curtains down on Indian Idol, one of the highly rated contestants Amit Tandon has swerved his career line into acting. On Sony TV itself, he features in Ektaa Kapoor's latest serial on the channel Kaisa Ye Pyaar Hai as Prithvi. Unlike the typical Ektaa story of a family saga, this one is directed more towards the young viewers. The story is of a pop icon Angad and a small town girl Kripa. While Kripa is in love with Angad, it is Angad's family that dislikes Kripa. In enters Amit as Prithvi offering his selfless friendship and love to her. "Prithvi is in love with Kripa, knowing that she loves Angad. But his love for her is different and he never persuades her to stop thinking of Angad. He is Kripa's best friend and is her formidable all weather support system. The situation is similar to the movie Kuch Kuch Hota Hai," explains an excited Amit. "After my entry into it, it has become a love triangle," he tunes you into the serial's storyline. When Indian Idol was on, Amit recollects, he was told by music director and the show's judge Anu Malikhe is the right face for modelling and acting. "Anuji told me in today's scenario, I should establish myself first as an actor and then can try singing as well. Though I was not following his instructions so consciously, it just happened that you will know me as an actor first and then as a singer one day," says Amit. But now when the talent hunt is over and India has its 'first idol' in Abhijeet Sawant, is Amit happy with the results? "In a way, I am satisfied. I believe Amit Sana was an equally deserving candidate but Abhijeet won because he was more presentable," maintains this Indian Idol contestant who also got considerable viewer interest pushing him up to the top ten list. Singer still And then his ratings started to topple. "I think my choice of songs was wrong. Secondly, audience could not relate to me beyond a point," Amit gets confessional. Coming back to his new role, he says, " The unique thing about Prithvi is, he is confident, stylish and smart and yet very down-to-earth. He is always there whenever Kripa needs him." No matter what roles he plays later, at the end of the day, this actor is determined to be a singer.

"I still have to prove Anuji wrong," concludes Amit

Amit Tandon, actor

How did you enter the TV world? I started my career as a Channel [V] VJ.

How did you enter the TV world? I started my career as a Channel [V] VJ. I also was one of the 10 finalists of Indian Idol. This gave me a bigger platform where I was noticed. Thus, I made my foray into TV serials, my first one being Ekta Kapoor's Kaisa Yeh Pyar Hai. What are your current projects on television? I'm currently working in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi on Star Plus. Here, I play the role of Manthan, Karan and Tanya Virani's son. What character do you play? My character is typically of a bade baap ki bigdi hui aulad! Manthan is over confident and proud since his father's a billionaire. He misuses his power. Basically, his is a very selfish character. How far do you relate to this character? I am diametrically opposite to the billionaire's son that I portray. We have nothing in common. Can you tell us something about your hobbies? I like singing, watching movies, listening to music and playing squash. Which has been the happiest moment in your life? The happiest moment of my life was when I signed my first television serial. What kind of roles do you like to play? I like to play characters which have lots of emotion and many shades. But more than positive characters, I like to play the negative ones as they call for more creativity and effort. What are your future projects? I want to launch my music album. As far as my future projects are concerned, I will be starring in a show which will release, maybe, next month. The name of the show has not yet been decided.

Thanks Jaan.
