Akshay Sethi is making his debut as heroine Saloni's love interest in the super hit show Saat Phere — Saloni Ka Safar. Here, he talks about his first brush with television and how he plans to withstand competition from Nahar Singh aka Sharad Kelkar. The truth is he hasn't got much of a positive feedback from the general people as such vis--vis his character which has to deal with the biggies. But the confident Akshay doesn't think so. He is all kicked up and raring to go. Call it over confidence or whatever he is sure he will not be blown away.

Q Saat Phere is doing extremely well. How does it feel to be associated with it and that too opposite the main lead Saloni?
It feels really great. I am very lucky to start my career with this show. The role which I have got to play is good and that too as a romantic lead. What more can I ask for?

Q How did you bag this role?
I have done a lot of commercials. After seeing one of my ads, a creative guy from Zee called me up for an audition. And here I am.

Q Other than ads, have you done anything on the acting front like theatre, etc?
I just did my acting course from Kishore Namit Kapoor's Acting Academy.

Q Tell us a little about your background?
In fact I belong to an acting background. My father is a producer and has produced films like Jai Santoshi Maa. Since childhood, I wanted to become an actor. But I had to wait till I completed my graduation to start my acting career as my parents always gave preference to education.

Q When did you realise that there exists an actor in you?
I feel there is an actor in everybody. If a guy is serious about the profession, he can act. But he has to love his work.

Q How much of Akshay do you see in your character Yug?
Very honestly, Yug is a very cool and an extroverted kind of a guy. I, on my part, am an introvert by nature and hardly interact with people. I live a very simple life. The only thing common between both Akshay and Yug is that both are very focused and confident when it comes to work.

Q Every other celebrity is superstitions about something or the other! Your superstition is…
My parents keep telling me to wear diamond rings. One of my friends even asked me to change my name. But seriously speaking, I am not superstitious about life. Nobody can stop your success once you are determined enough to get it.

Q Sharad Kelkar will be your romantic rival. He is extremely popular and good looking. Do you feel it would be a tough competition?
No, I never felt that way. He is my senior and always advises me. He's a great guy.

Thanks for the article...;Oh my God! Now he is after Saloni...and is trying to create problems between Nahar and Saloni? They should really rename the serial 'cos whatever is happening is out of the bounds of the Saath Phere

I loved this serial the most as this is the only one where lead couple is not cheating and share their problems.
I guess this is going the same route as Kekta serials.

As mentioned in the article Yug is not being well received. The SP team shd stop making it an unsavory love triangle. Apart from the fact that he is unwelcomed betn Nahar-Saloni, other reasons which the reporter also covered is that Nahar is Good looking and popular. He is seemingly unattractive and a bad performer. This becomes glaring in his scenes with Saloni.

The SP team better take corrective measures.
