You almost don't recognise the boy from among all those people petting and pawing him. Sans that chic single-breasted coat and impeccably gelled, backcombed hair that you see him sporting every day in Saath Nibhaana Saathiya, Mohammad Nazim is your regular Joe Sixpack from Punjab who loves to pump the iron, goes for gehris outside girls' colleges, binges on Panjab University's raajma-chawal and hoots when Sunny Deol comes on the screen.

He explains the presence of the horde — old friends, first boss, fitness guru, a cousin. Everybody just wants to get a picture clicked with their very own superstar, who they fondly call Naaz. Their camaraderie is so, well, cute that you can't help but play along and be happy for that lad from Malerkotla.

"Nobody anticipated that Saath Nibhaana Saathiya would become such a big hit. We just hoped for the show to stay on air for 6-8 months, so that producers notice us. You know, we recently celebrated our second success party. A TRP rating of 7 is no joke in this industry," beams Naaz.

"They have started calling me the Salman Khan of TV." The years he spent in Chandigarh as an instructor at a Sector-34 gym must have come handy in bagging that title. "Of course, I've always been very conscious of my health and physique. I struggled for four years in Mumbai before getting my first break. I would travel across the city with a bottle of protein shake in my backpack, but wouldn't eat street-food," tells the 28-year-old. "Even today, reaching home post 10pm after a 12-hour shift, I always hit the gym before having dinner," he adds.

The boy talking nineteen to the dozen seems nothing like his curt and reserved on-screen avatar of Aham Modi. "I'm very khappi on the sets too. But, when I don Aham's clothes, the Naaz inside me dies. I'm become this completely different man. The change, sometimes, startles my co-stars," says he.

Talking about celluloid dreams makes Naaz smile. "Bollywood would be a real dream-come-true. I want to be a part of new-age cinema, like Pyar ka Punchnama. Maybe portray a negative role like that of Shah Rukh Khan's in Darr."

Though, he realises that, for now, Punjabi cinema will be a more realistic option. "I would love to be the solo lead, but I believe working with Gippy Grewal will be great learning experience. I'm being offered many Punjabi movies; it's just a matter of time before I sign the dotted line," he concludes.
