Why's Iqbal staying away from soaps?
The newly-wed actor is spending quality time with wife Sneha and
doesn't seem to be in the mood to end his break anytime soon
HARSHADA REGE
It surprised many when Iqbal Khan took a rather long break after
gaining popularity as Angad in Sony's Kaisa Yeh Pyaar Hai. And the
break which began in December is still on. The actor who used to
work 16 to 18 hours a day, hasn't faced the camera for a while now.
So, is he missing the arc lights? "Not really. I am not worried
about not working all the time," he says. So what's Iqbal watching
these days? "Forget world cinema, I am still catching up on recent
hindi movies. There's a huge list." Iqbal is happy that he managed
to take a break post-marriage. "I wanted to spend some time with my
wife Sneha. Marriage is not just about living together. I think it's
important for a husband and wife to understand each other and the
initial time together helps them bond," he says.
Iqbal has also hit the gym with a vengeance. Though the actor has
a great physique and looked fit, he had fainted on the sets of
KYPH. "I am trying to get back in shape. Earlier I couldn't work
out, I am making up for it now. Though I had not really put on a lot
of weight, I wasn't feeling fit. But that doesn't mean that I am
spending an entire day in the gym. I don't want to land up in the
hospital," he laughs.
One question that's on everyone's mind is whether Iqbal will work
with Ekta Kapoor's production house? "Right now I have no projects
with anyone. I want to be very sure about what I am getting into.
Dailies are becoming very tiring," he feels. But the actor is still
known as Angad, does it bother Iqbal? "It's good if people still
remember me as Angad. I don't resent it," he says. According to
rumours, Iqbal is taking the break to explore his options in
Bollywood. "Halwa hai kya! It's not like I can take a call on such
things. The medium doesn't matter to me," he says.
