Where
were
you
all
these
days?
Were
you
on
some
break?
I
was
not
at
all
on
any
break.
It"s
just
that
I
don"t
take
up
much
of
work
that
is
why
I
was
not
seen
these
days.
I
was
very
much
in
Mumbai,
shooting
and
working.
The
show
brings
together
the
perfect
pairs.
Tell
us
something
about
that?
Its
not
the
question
of
bringing
together
the
perfect
pair,
it
is
more
a
show
which
is
like
a
matrimonial
on
television.
It
is
similar
to
what
we
have
matrimonial
in
the
newspaper.
You
are
playing
an
anchor
for
the
first
time
so
how
was
your
experience?
It"s
not
the
first
time
that
I
am
playing
an
anchor.
I
have
done
a
game
show.
I
am
very
much
comfortable
with
anchoring.
And
it"s
nice
and
interesting
to
meet
people
from
different
walks
of
life
and
to
know
about
what
their
aspirations
are
in
life.
What
do
you
enjoy
more
anchoring
or
acting?
There
is
no
comparison.
You
can"t
have
a
comparison
between
anchoring
and
acting.
And
for
me
it
depends
on
each
individual
script.
There used to be a show called Kahin Na Kahin Koi Hai on Sony which was based on the same concept. How is this show different from that show?
Its not the same at all. In that show as far as I remember they used to make the individual meet each other and their family meet each other and finally end up getting their marriage done. But ours is just a matrimonial system on television. People come up with their profiles and they come and have interview with me and my co-host and that"s where we leave it. Our show is just a platform for people to present themselves with their bio data and all.
How
is
it
working
with
Aditi
Shirwaikar
your
co-host?
She
is
wonderful.
She
is
young,
very
enthusiastic
and
bubbly
and
it
is
really
nice
working
with
her.
Your
future
plans
and
projects?
A.
It
is
really
difficult
for
an
actor
to
comment
upon
their
future
projects
and
plans
because
an
actor
does
whatever
works
comes
to
him.
And
leading
actors
can
always
decide
that
what
they
want
to
do
and
what
not
but
when
you
are
doing
character
role
you
have
to
do
which
ever
roles
comes
to
you.
