Article: Soaps Require Hard Work (Neev)

The actor says that playing the fun loving Neel in 'Kayamath' is very close to being himself

Balaji beckons
His is a face you may have seen in plenty of advertisements. So when Jay Bhanushali appeared with Saif Ali Khan in a commercial, it got him noticed by Balaji Telefilms.

For a newcomer it was a smooth entry when he landed the lead role in their show 'Kayamath' (Star Plus) after the routine auditions.

Ads vs telly tales
Jay says the transformation from the advertisement world saying, "The experience of shooting for 'Kayamath' has been great so far. It has been different from shooting ads.

When shooting commercials one gets pampered. On the other hand, soaps require hard work, dedication and seriousness."

Neel and me
"Neel, the character that I play in the show, is fun loving and has no tensions in life. The story has a love angle between Prachi (played by Panchhi Vora) and me. Prachi has just one friend and that's me.

On the other hand, I have a lot of girlfriends. Both of us are in search of true love. Neel is somewhat like me because he loves to crack jokes," he says.

Pal Panchhi
"Panchhi has been very comfortable to work with. Our onscreen chemistry is quite good," asserts Jay fondly about his co-star.

He further adds, "Since I am a newcomer, I am taken care of by my seniors. Mohnish Behl has been guiding me on various aspects of acting."

Jay ho!
"I see to it that I relate to my role. It is only then that I can act convincingly," explains Jay. He says he trusts his director and just follows his instructions. "Ektaa (Kapoor) is happy with my performance too," smiles Jay.

Destiny
"My dream was to be a cricketer. I used to play cricket regularly at Shivaji Park. But destiny had other plans," says Jay who is regularly complimented for his smile.

"I can't do a regular nine-to-five job. I knew I would get into the glamour industry," he admits. In the future Jay sees himself in the direction arena.

"I have always believed that this is a big industry, which has something for everyone. It is just a matter of time and luck," he ends.
