"We will indeed begin shooting in a few days", confirmed the Sindhi actor. Will it not be difficult to step into the shoes of somebody, who has played Anurag Basu for all these years?
"See I know it will take some time for the viewers to accept me. But surely over time, I will win them over with my acting abilities", he says.
So how will the change over be effected? "Right now, I honestly don't have an idea. When Star informs me, I will let you know, I have not done any kind of preparations.
Neither have I got the time to watch any episodes. I will plan my action on the briefing, Balaji gives me. One thing is for sure, that I will play Anurag in a completely different manner than Cezanne", he adds.
Any fears about entering a group which has been together for years? Hiten asserts confidently, "No yaar, I don't believe in any groupism. I just do my work and go home. Besides, I am on very good terms with Shewta Tiwari(Prena) and Ronit Roy (Mr. Bajaj). And last but not the least remember this is a Balaji production, which I have always considered home"
As Hiten, what's his take on Anurag, getting married again and again? "Even in Kyunki, I have had multiple wives, so it's cool. All these twist and turns are necessary in a soap, though we may personally agree with it or not", signs off this very busy actor. -
