Ajay
Krish
hot
to
fame
with
his
performance
in
Mamta.
The
actor
who
plays
Priyam
in
Zee's
lavish
Ardhangani
is
impressed
with
his
co
star
Sudeepa
Singh.
He
is
eying
Bollywood
and
plans
to
make
a
move
when
Ardhangini
is
over.
The
actor
chats
about
his
show
and
future
plans.
Are
you
happy
with
the
response
your
new
show
has
received
so
far?
It
is
a
fantastic
show.
The
budget
is
very
high,
and
the
sets
look
lavish.
Since
it
is
aired
at
11
pm,
the
viewership
was
not
all
that
great.
However,
the
TRPs
have
increased
since
then.
How
close
is
the
character
to
your
real
self?
Priyam,
the
character
I
play,
waits
14
years
to
reunite
with
his
love.
There
is
a
lot
of
passion
in
the
relationship.
I
am
a
very
romantic
person,
so
this
aspect
of
his
is
a
lot
like
me.
How
did
you
bag
this
role?
I
had
worked
in
Mamta,
and
I
became
a
known
face,
whose
work
was
appreciated.
Mamta
was
coming
to
an
end,
and
the
creative
from
Zee
called
me
for
this
role.
I
auditioned,
and
got
the
role
immediately.
What
was
it
like
to
work
with
Sudeepa
Singh?
I
did
not
know
her
before
this
serial.
However,
once
we
started
working
together,
I
realized
that
she
is
a
fantastic
person.
Our
onscreen
chemistry
is
good,
and
it
shows.
Both
of
us
are
working
hard
for
this
show.
We
even
shot
for
72
hours
at
a
stretch
once.
You
seem
to
have
hectic
shooting
schedules
Since
we
are
trying
to
make
this
show
a
hit,
we
shoot
like
a
film.
There
is
a
lot
of
creativity
involved
in
every
scene
that
we
shoot.
And
it
is
a
daily
soap.
What
do
you
do
in
your
spare
time?
I
hardly
get
any
spare
time!
The
most
I
get
is
a
three-hour
off,
and
that
is
the
time
I
sleep.
When
I
get
some
more
time
off,
I
like
to
play
with
my
two
dogs,
or
spend
some
time
with
my
friends.
What
is
the
one
thing
that
you
would
want
to
change
in
Indian
television?
The
lack
of
discipline.
If
the
pre-
and
post
production
work
is
planned
and
executed
properly,
we
would
not
have
to
work
like
mules.
Our
schedules
become
so
erratic
and
hectic.
Any
film
plans?
Of
course,
but
only
after
I
am
done
with
Ardhangani.
This
will
be
my
last
serial,
unless,
of
course,
I
do
not
get
any
film
offers
at
all.
I
will
take
a
few
months
off
from
television
and
try
my
luck.
It
is
said
that
your
acting
is
a
lot
like
that
of
Shahrukh
Khan.
Nothing
like
that.
I
am
nowhere
near
the
Badshah
of
Bollywood.
Since
Ardhangini
is
based
on
Devdas,
comparisons
are
inevitable.
I
tried
to
incorporate
some
of
SRK's
body
language
from
his
character
in
Devdas,
but
there
is
nothing
wrong
in
learning
from
your
seniors.
