While people can't have enough of Ranjeet, the veteran actor guides them gently to the young lead pair of the film, Gurmeet Choudhary and Sapna Thakur. The TV star Gurrmeet is Punjab bound in a big way. Apart from this DDLJ, he is also doing another Punjabi film Yaar Mera Rabb Warga. What made him opt for Punjabi films?

"I played a Punjabi in Geet Hui Sabse Paraayi and for the last three years I have been getting offers for Punjabi movies. I took the chance finally." He plays 'Raj' in the film. "Punjabi films are not only doing good business but have a huge fan following as well," says Gurmeet, who wants to stay loyal to small screen that made him a household name. "Whatever I have today is courtesy TV. Television has emerged as a very powerful medium and people know me in different parts of the world because of television," says the actor who was part of Ramayan and Punar Vivah too.

Comparing the telly and film word, Gurmeet finds the first exhaustive. "Everything works at a maddening pace. We speak dialogues just fresh from the writer's pen. In a day's time the episode is shot, edited, music done and by the time I finish work and reach home, it's being aired." And, we couldn't help asking, on how does he manage that physique in the hectic work schedules? "Strict diet control and religious gym regimen.I don't compromise on my exercise," says the winner of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5, open to reality shows and movies and soaps alike!
