Ekta's new find - Kunal Sharma
Ekta's introduced another hunk to television, and it's Kunal Sharma. Kunal's debuted on Balaji's first non-K serial, Tujh Sang Preet Lagayi Sajna and he spoke of being given the opportunity to act on TV.
"I went for auditions twice, but they selected someone called Srirang Sharma," he said, "but then I think ma'm (Ekta) did not feel that he is right for the show and they called me again for what's called a looks test."
Two days after that, he said, he got a call saying he'd play the role of Yugandhar. He says a friend of his accompanied him on the audition, though he'd himself been rejected the first time. "He's always been lucky for me." he said.
Kunal won a talent hunt and was to participate in the Mr India contest which now he says he cannot do.
"Getting a chance to work with Balaji was the best thing that could happen to me," he says.
Kunal is still in college, studying at Thakur college and his tender age shows up when he faces the camera.
"I was very nervous and had to do lots of retakes," he said, "the whole unit started losing patience with me and it took me four hours to give my first shot."
The shoot happened at the hill station of Mahabaleshwar.
Now, Kunal says, he's used to the pressure and "getting the hang of it." On the show, Kunal plays a lover boy over from Canada. He learns that his girlfriend Vrinda's parents and his are rivals and he sets about reuniting them.
