HitenTejwani has been missing in action for a while now. However, his fans need not despair. The man, who became a household name as Pratham of Kutumb (Sony), and Karan of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhie Bahu Thi (STAR Plus), is back with renewed vigour.

"I was on a short vacation, and I became a father, hence I was not in the public eye for a while. But now I am back," says Hiten. Apparently, he has been made various offers, and is busy sorting through them, trying to figure out how many of them are worth it.

"I have done all kinds of roles - from a rowdy college boy, to a mature teacher. I have even participated in reality shows. I have been really lucky that all these opportunities just came to me, within such a short span. Now I want a role that is a combination of all the roles I have done," he grins.

"Like every actor, I, too, want to play multiple roles. Unfortunately, even after one has played all types of characters, he still thinks something is missing, and wants to fill the gap," he concludes.

The break may have made him philosophical, but he can rest assured that his fan following has not waned, and he will be welcomed back with open arms and hearts.
