Jai aka Vikram Shergill of Bade
Acche Lagte Hain talks about
his journey with the popular
Sony TV show, why the daily
soap failed to garner TRPs, his
close friends on the show and
more
Jai Kalra is a fabulous actor, who
is much grounded in spite of all
his popularity and fame. He
started his career with negative
roles, but we love him more as
the adorable Vikram Shergill. Jai
shares his experience of working
on BALH and his journey forward
in an exclusive interview with
BollywoodLife. Read excerpts...
How has your two year long
experience been on Bade Acche
Lagte Hain?
The journey has been amazing.
We've all bonded so well and
have developed a wonderful
relationship with each other. The
cast and crew of BALH are like my
second family. It is sad that we
have to move now.
Why do you think the show
needed to end?
BALH had reached a saturation
point. They had explored every
angle in the story. When the
show began, the focus was on
Ram and Priya - which was a
novel concept, but how long can
you keep the audiences' hooked
on that. Nonetheless, the show is
very special to me. It went on for
more than two years, which is
quite commendable.
Do you think the show lost TRPs
because the attention shifted
from Ram and Priya?
It's a daily soap, which keep
evolving every day. To take the
story ahead, concentrating on
the next generation is a basic
requirement. How long could the
makers concentrate on just Ram
and Priya.
Who are you closest to on the
sets of BALH?
Well I am close to Neha aka
Tarana Raja Kapoor. She plays my
onscreen wife and we share an
amazing friendship on the sets.
Besides her, I think I was close to
Sakshi Tanwar.
So you were not too close to
Ram Kapoor?
When the show started Ram and
I had a lot of scenes together,
but as the years went by and he
got busy with his movie
schedules; we barely had spent
any time together. I do have a
great bond with Ram too, but
over the time it was just Neha
and Sakshi.
Why didn't you ever consider
leaving the show?
I didn't want to leave the show
mid way. I had given my
commitment and wanted to stick
around till the end.
You started your career with
negative shades, but playing
Vikram put you on the map.
How does that feel?
Well I did a negative role in Kis
Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil, post
which I was being offered
similar roles. I took up Bhaskar
Bharti even though I had to play
a negative shade coz the script
was interesting and unlike
anything I had done before.
When Bade Acche Lagte Hain
happened, it was a chance to do
something different and exciting.
The character of Vikram has
given me a lot.
So is Jai Kalra as dear and
darling as Vikram?
Well, I don't think I can answer
that. You will have to ask my wife
to know that one.
You have started shooting for
Laut Aao Trisha. How is your
role different?
I can't reveal much about the role
to you just yet, but it is a positive
character. When I read the script,
I immediately knew it was
perfect for me.www.bollywoodlife.com/news-gossip/jai-kalra-i-am-closer-to-tarana-and-sakshi-from-bade-acche-lagte-hain/
