TV stars seem to be suffering from chronic fatigue. Apart from Rajiv Khandelwal, who has voluntarily opted to do less work, all major players on the medium of tedium, including Ejaz Khan, also seem to be on a crash course.

"Though my 'Kavyanjali' came to an end on my birthday this week, the workload hasn't really decreased. I'm still shooting until late into the night. The only time we wrapped up early recently was on the eve of my birthday. We were done with 'Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka' by 11 p.m. on Aug 29 so I could bring in my birthday with my friends," Ejaz told.

"But barely. There was hardly any time to sit, chat and catch up with them. They complain that we hardly get together any more."

Like many of his colleagues, Ejaz has lost contact with his friends. But he has taken a holiday and went to Sharjah last week to spend time with his cousin and his family.

"It's my birthday gift. I had taken time off on my last birthday too."

Not that the busy TV actor is complaining.

"I've waited long for this time when I could work round the clock. After an accident I was bedridden for almost a year. That's when I realised the value of work."

At the same time Ejaz admits he has no personal life, no friends and no time for a relationship.

"I need to sort out that aspect of my life. But a relationship at this point of my life is a no-no. The last thing I need is a distraction from my work."

Incidentally, Ejaz got along like a house on fire with his "Kavyanjali" co-star Anita. But the same cannot be said about his Nimmo co-star Sanjeeda. Hence, no chance of mixing business with pleasure.

"There never is," said Ejaz. "On the home medium the hours of work and the stress to complete schedules is much more intense. There's no time for distractions. After working till 3 a.m. in the morning all you want is to be in bed alone."
