Rakesh finally quits Saat Phere!-telly chakkar


Rakesh Bapat admires producer Sunjoy Wadhwa but refuses to work any further in his show Saat Phere. The actor is quitting the show mainly because he has


Rakesh Bapat: From Saat Phere to Canadian venture!

prior commitments to follow and is also not too happy playing the character Neel in the show.

"Somehow, I've reached a stage where I fail to derive any creative satisfaction from my character in Saat Phere. The track went well for a long time but somehow there isn't much for me to do in the show. Also, I cannot connect with Neel as a person. I am really not blaming anyone for this. This is the way television functions here, though I'd love to work with Sunjoy in future," says Rakesh who will shoot for ten more days for the show.

Rakesh had taken a break from Saat Phere for one month when he was busy shooting for his film Jai Santoshi Maa. Later, he started shooting again from July so that his character gets terminated from the show in a proper fashion.
The actor is currently gearing up for a Canadian film titled If I Could Love You More produced by Canadian Film Association and directed by Pasha John.

"I am the only Asian Indian guy in the film along with other Canadian and American actors. It's a love triangle and I play Sahil, an Indian guy. They wanted a fresh face to play the character, so they called me. I was touched when they narrated the story and needless to say it's a beautiful role," smiles the actor who will go to Canada in November for one and a half months to shoot for the film.

Apart from his professional life, things are also looking up for Rakesh on the personal front. He celebrated his birthday in Pune on 1 September at a friend's farmhouse.
"I drove down to Pune to seek my parent's blessings. Also, I was pleasantly surprised when my friends threw a surprise party for me on a beautiful rainy day.," adds the Pune bred actor who is looking forward to the release of his film Jai Santoshi Maa in September.
Not many know that the actor is dating a film actress for the past six months and is taking time out to know her better. Though he refuses to reveal who his lady love is, all he says is, " I met her on the sets of a film about six months ago. We're just getting to know each other and as of now nothing is fixed."

So, looks like the actor is obviously not ready for the Saat Phere in his life?

He's really talented so he should def be in movies. And he's really good looking....he's got all the qualities of a very good actor. Wish him luck in his endeavors! Will miss him in Saat Phere but it's true, he doesn't have much of a role there. I think this means Shubra and Karan might end up together in the end.

I think Neel is doing right by quitting this show. As he is such a superb actor and here his talent is not being used in a right way as Nahar is the lead in SaathPhere due to which the role on Neel is not very strong.
All the best Neel.
