/> Iqbal Khan and his newly-married spouse Sneha are technically back from their honeymoon. But they continue to be in the honey-mode.

"We make it a point to watch at least one film every day in the theatre. And if not in the theatre then we watch a DVD. Both Sneha and I have become diehard movie buffs," Iqbal says affectionately.

"Marriage so far has been an extended honeymoon. There were no adjustments with with each other or our families since we've known each other for years now."

Iqbal and Sneha's first post-marriage Valentine this month was a unique experience. "We were caught in a traffic jam for hours. So we spent our Valentine's Day trapped in the traffic. No sweat, as long as as we were together."

Shocking as it may sound, Iqbal Khan chose not to honeymoon at any of those exotic spots that his wife selected on the net.

Reason? "I wasn't sure I'd get a visa for any of those countries. After the experience I went through some months ago who knows how the immigration authorities would've reacted to my name," laughs the affable TV superstar, referring to his humiliating experience with the American consulate which rejected his visa plea some months ago arguing that his name suggested terrorist links.

"I'd rather not think about these things. There're enough holiday spots in our own country for my wife and me. We had a week of bliss in the Maldives. And our honeymoon is still on since I'm not working.

But I'm working out rigorously. Lately I had put on a lot of weight. Now when I return viewers will see the taut character Angad that they saw in Kyun Hota Hai Pyarr when I first appeared on television,"

Iqbal who left Ekta Kapoor's Balajee Telefilms in December has yet to make up his mind about his next work move. "I've had very tempting offers from Zee, Sony and Star. But I've said no to all of them. I don't want to go back to doing the same thing. Whatever I do has to be a step forward."
