Eiaz Khan
Actor

Leena> Eijaz, this is Leena from US, hope you remember me! Lately it seems like you are very tired and stressed out. Could you please take good care of yourself..and maybe take a relaxing break after you are done with KA and KHNK? Please for all of us!
Eiaz Khan> Thanks for your message. I remember you and don't worry you guys, I know you love me a lot for me to get killed in another accident. I will take care of my self. Thank you.

Karishma_Star> Hi Eijaz. I just love your acting and you. My question is who so far has been your favorite co-star and with whom you would like to work again? Do you have a e-mail address where your fans can write to you? By the way you have very passionate eyes, which says a lot.
Eiaz Khan> Thank you for all the compliments. I am trying my best to stop hamming and start acting. My co-stars, yes it has to be Anita. I would love to work with a lot of people. I can't name all of them. I will make a new email if as my old one got hacked and send it to you all.

Pardesi-Mem> Assalam Alaikum Eijaz. Very Happy Birth Day in advance. What are your plans for your birthday?
Eiaz Khan> Walecum Salaam . No plans yet. I will probably go to the airport and fly off somewhere.

Saara-Don> Eijaz somehow I and most of your fans feel that you would look awesome in a "Tapori" avtar . So if you get such offer would you accept it and give it a try?
Eiaz Khan> Of course I would, what else does an actor want.

Karishma_Star> If you were not an actor then what have you been?
Eiaz Khan> A kinder garden school teacher.

Pardesi-Mem> How was your experience of returning to the small screen, in filming the item number for Meghna Gulzar's Baat Pakki (earlier titled Honeymoon )?
Eiaz Khan> It was just a different and pleasant experience all together. Meghna is an amazing person to work with.

Pardesi-Mem> Can you disclose the kind of look you are sporting for the item number?
Eiaz Khan> No, you go and see the song.

Leena> Eijaz! Now that Kavyanjali will end, what is it the most that you will miss about it? Is there any particular incident that strikes out as the best of all memories from the sets?
Eiaz Khan> It's very difficult to point out one incident. Working in Kavyanjali was like living a full life. So I had my high points and duds but what I miss the most is working with my family that comprises of my whole unit. I really miss them (Kavyanjali unit).

Pardesi-Mem> How much liberty are you given as an actor to be creative with your roles such as ad-libbing lines?
Eiaz Khan> I think they give you enough credit for your intelligence as long as you don't change the meaning. We are allowed to add libb a little to make it more natural. It's not possible for one person to do justice to 20 different characters at a go. so we are allowed to put in our own flavor of the character.

Cloudie> Hi Eijaz, shooting round the clock with little or no time to spare, don't you ever get tired?
Eiaz Khan> I don't get sleep. I have to wait for the morning newspaper and read it to put me to sleep.

Faryal> Hey Eijaz! This is Faryal from Pakistan, I love your character as both Soham and Kavya, and I wanted to wish you for your coming birthday, may this and the coming years bring you loads of success, best wishes
Eiaz Khan> Inshallah thank you so much I will keep putting in my best thank you.

Cloudie> If you found that you had 5 minutes of time which was just your time, how would you spend this time- please don't say sleep!
Eiaz Khan> Sit down and take a deep breath and calm my self.

Naughty Noori> Do you have any plans to work in movies?
Eiaz Khan> Not till the producers have any plan to take me.

Pardesi-Mem> Every character you've played has a different look and mannerisms which differentiate it from each other. Is this a conscious decision on your part or the director's characterization?
Eiaz Khan> Thank you so much to recognize my different roles. I have tried to put in a lot to look different in each character. The first time Soham (kavyanjali) cried I tried my best to give him a complete different mannerism.

Karishma_Star> How much does a small screen actor normally get paid in India? What other shows r u doing besides KHNK and KA?
Eiaz Khan> Depends on their capability and potential, nothing as of now.

Cloudie> Where the world is an empty canvas, what picture would you like to paint in this world.
Eiaz Khan> I would like to paint the picture of shiny smiling happy kids

Muskan> You are playing Soham in ka now but I loved u the most as Kavya. I think its your best role .now Soham wants to repent the harm he has done to anjali. Will he be able to reunite Shaurya and Anjali and expose Yug?
Eiaz Khan> Yug (Hiten Tejwani) is exposed. I am trying my best to reunite Anjali and Shaurya.

Japneet> What are three things you admire most in life?

Kkarishma_Star> Hey do you have anyone special in your life at the moment? When is marriage on your agenda? How is Eijaz off screen? What is one that thing you want to change abt urself n is there anything that you regret about?
Eiaz Khan> I have a lot of special people in my life. About marriage I don't know. Off screen- lay back, obnoxious. One thing I would like to change is my temper and is called 'Captain Cool' like I was called in college. I have no regrets

Mistyeyed_26> Watching the typical saas bahu sagas I have to ask you this question - are woman a necessity or are they a necessary evil?

Eiaz Khan> As an actor I would not like to limit myself so I would love to portray as many shades as possible in this short shelf life. But I like being evil. Embarrassing moment: - my pants were torn on stage for a children's function. I think they will always cherish the photographs. I live in Marol as of now. I like about Mumbai: - the buzz and I really love the roads.

Sus143uk> There has been a rumor about you and sanjeeda been not getting along on the set can u please clarify what was the actual incident I don't really like her
Eiaz Khan> I don't need to get along with everyone and I have forgotten about the incident.
