Mohnish jobless in his silver jubilee yea

Though he denies quitting Kahani... because Ekta didn't keep her promise of casting him in the lead role of Jai Walia in Kasamh Se, Mohnish Behl certainly seems to be regretting his decision since his film career is going nowhere. Ever since he debuted with Sanjivani in early 2002, TV has been his best option to keep the actor in him going and cash flowing his way. Of course Kasamh Se would have been a boon for his career on TV but Kahani... was not bad either. But then what has happened can't be undone and Mohnish has apparently realised that he needs to be cordial with the Balaji banner as this is where most of the happening prime time shows are planned and made.

This is why he is doing a 25-episode cameo in Ekta's new show Kayamath. Mohnish says Ekta and Shobha Kapoor convinced him to do the role and as a goodwill gesture on his part he agreed to do the brief appearance as female lead Prachi's father. Otherwise Mohnish has no work in hand as he has finished shooting for Vikram Bhatt's film Life Mein Kabhie Kabhie. "I have completed 25 years of my acting career and imagine in the silver jubilee year I am jobless," he says in a lighter vein and then adds in a serious tone, "I am really looking for some good work."

Ask him if he's is looking forward to work with Balaji and he says, "We have been discussing two or three shows but things are so fluid in television that you can't say anything for sure."
