Mazhar Sayyed aka Samar in Saat Phere is re-entering the Balaji camp with Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii. Last seen in Balaji's Kahiin Kissi Roz a few years ago, Mazar is highly excited about his return. He says, "Henceforth, I will be playing Samir in Kahaani..., the character earlier played by Aamir Ali in the show. It is a very strong character of a man who can go to any extent to pursue his desires."

Apparently it was because of his association with Moulli (his co-star in Kahiin Kissi Roz), whom Mazar has been seeing for the last three years, that he refrained from doing any Balaji serial. Moulli had walked out of Kahiin… because of certain differences of opinion with Balaji. However, Mazhar denies that Moulli is responsible for the turn of events in his life. "I don't think there is any animosity between Moulli and Balaji Telefilms. I guess she wasn't offered any good roles. As for me, I had not been in touch with the production house, thus the long gap," he says.

Mazhar, who kick-started his career in Balaji, with serials like Kahiin Kissi Roz, went on to do several serials like Kucch Jhuki Palkein, Kavita and Kalki. However he hasn't acted in a Balaji serial for a very long time. Mazhar points out as a matter of fact, "I haven't acted in a Balaji serial for two years."

Talking about developments in his personal life, Mazhar says, "I have not been able to pay attention to my personal life. I often feel guilty about it. But the moment I find time to have a personal life, I shall catch with some sleep."
