Rajesh
Bapat
has
just
replaced
Arjun
Punj
for
the
character
Prem
in
'Saathi
Re'
and
is
expecting
that
the
audience
will
like
him
in
the
show.
A
Mr
Grasim
India
winner,
Rajesh
aspires
to
be
a
successful
Bollywood
actor
and
producer.
We
met
him
recently
to
learn
about
his
present
assignment,
future
plans
and
more.
Here
is
the
excerpt
of
the
interview.
Tell
us
something
about
your
character
in
'Saathii
Re'?
Basically,
I
play
Prem,
the
love
interest
of
Suman
in
the
serial
and
my
character
has
lots
of
shades.
Will
the
character
turn
grey?
Maybe.
How
is
your
chemistry
with
Parakh
Madan
and
Aamir
Dalvi?
I
know
them
very
well
since
the
production
house
is
the
same
(for
'Saat
Phere'
and
'Saathi
Re').
Sometimes
we
used
to
shoot
at
same
building
and
had
a
lot
of
interactions.
I
have
known
Parakh
through
a
common
friend.
We
all
are
extremely
comfortable
working
with
each
other.
The
show
is
not
doing
well.
Do
you
think
your
entry
will
bring
the
much
needed
spark
to
the
show?
I
hope
it
catches
up,
but
it
all
depends
on
the
audiences.
I
hope
they
like
my
character.
You
have
replace
Arjun
Punj
in
the
show.
Does
this
mean
we
can
see
something
new?
Just
wait
and
watch.
Have
you
planned
any
special
looks
for
the
character?
Prem
is
a
US-returned
guy
so
he
will
be
stylish.
You
will
see
him
wearing
a
lot
of
sweat
leather
jackets
and
jeans.
You
have
traveled
from
'Grasim
Mr.
India' to
'Saathii
Re'.
How
has
been
the
journey
in
the
glamour
world
been?
It
has
been
a
fantastic
ride.
There
have
been
ups
and
downs
and
I
have
taken
a
lot
of
wrong
decisions
and
learnt
from
my
mistakes.
But
I
have
enjoyed
everything
thoroughly.
It
shows
how
you
should
take
on
your
life
and
gain
from
your
experiences.
Being
a
national
award
winner
in
painting,
when
can
your
fans
expect
to
see
your
exhibition?
I
am
working
towards
it.
I
will
have
a
exhibition
of
my
paintings
and
sculptors
once
I
have
a
library
of
my
collections.
What
about
your
plans
of
venturing
into
filmmaking?
We
are
working
on
3-4
scripts
and
once
it
is
finalised
we
will
go
on
the
floor
by
January
next.
Will
you
be
directing
the
project
too?
No,
I
will
be
the
producer.
Is
there
any
other
serial
you
are
working
on?
No,
right
now
I
am
busy
with
paintings,
sculptors,
films
and
'Saathi
Re'.
Any
plans
of
getting
back
in
films?
Talks
are
going
on
for
a
few
international
projects.
Once
they
are
finalised
I
can
let
you
know
about
them.
But
you
will
see
me
soon
on
the
silver
screen.
You
had
quit
'Saat
Phere'
due
to
some
differences
with
the
Sphere
Origins
relating
to
the
character...
No,
that's
not
true.
They
are
the
sweetest
people
to
work
with.
There
was
never
any
problem
with
them.
