Hiten Tejwani's new record
The actor will be seen in three prime-time dailies
SUBHASH K JHA
Ekta Kapoor's blue-eyed boy Hiten Tejwani who recently made a attempt at movie career in Manish Jha's Anwar, is back on home ground… with a vengeance. But Hiten seems to have bitten far more than he can chew. Setting an all-new record in the television industry Tejwani will be acting in three daily soaps.
It's not unusual for the over-worked brigade of TV actors to step on the accelerator. But to play the lead in three soaps Monday-Friday is a bit excessive.
Hiten who describes himself as a certifiable workaholic is certain he can pull it off. "See, I've been doing Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi for many years now. I keep going in and out of other soaps that Ekta asks me to do. The two new soaps I'm doing are Karam Apna Apna and Kasauti Zindagi Kay."
While Karam… came to Hiten after Iqbal Khan decided to quit, Kasauti… is now Hiten's primetime pride after Cezanne Khan decided to quit television.
Any bad blood with the two Khan colleagues whom he's replacing in the two dailies? Hiten denies any stress. "None at all! In this industry actors are always interchangeable. When you are shooting for years you are bound to get restless and move on. That doesn't mean the soap stops."
Hiten admits he doesn't have enough time for even his wife Gauri Pradhan. "Fortunately she's from the TV industry and understands the pressures of the business. Yes ,it'll be a bit difficult but not impossible. My big advantage here is that all three soaps are with with the same production house. So I'll be happy to let them co-ordinate my dates. I can handle three dailies." The big question is, can viewers handle it?
