Television
actor
Ram
Kapoor,
who
has
now
become
a
household
name
as
Jai
Walia
of
Kasamh
Se,
speaks
about
his
shows,
costars
and
career.
How
does
it
feel
to
be
part
of
two
successful
television
serials
--
Kasamh
Se
and
Kyunki?
The
character
in
Kyunki
is
different.
I
have
always
looked
forward
to
accept
challenges,
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
play
the
role.
How
did
it
feel
when
the
first
episode
of
Kasamh
Se
went
on
air?
We
had
not
expected
such
a
huge
response
when
the
show
was
launched.
I
was
working
on
the
day
when
the
first
episode
went
on
air
and
it
was
not
at
the
back
of
my
mind
at
all.
It
was
a
usual
working
day.
What
do
you
think
maintains
Kasamh
Se's
popularity?
I
really
don't
know.
I
do
not
think
anybody
knows
why
a
show
clicks
or
doesn't.
If
a
producer
knew
such
things,
why
would
he
make
flop
serials
in
the
first
place?
Well,
maybe
people
found
something
interesting
in
the
odd
pairing
of
Jai
and
Bani,
their
attitude
and
age
difference.
But
I
really
cannot
tell
you
the
exact
reason.
How
easy
or
difficult
was
it
for
you
to
get
into
the
skin
of
the
character
Jai
Walia?
No,
it
was
not
too
difficult.
I
think
that
an
actor
needs
to
be
professional
in
order
to
play
any
kind
of
role.
I
really
do
not
find
any
logic
when
an
actor
says
that
he
cannot
play
a
father
or
grandfather.
We
are
actors
and
cannot
expect
to
play
characters
only
of
our
age.
If
that
were
the
case,
it
shouldn't
be
called
acting
at
all.
At
the
same
time,
I
need
variety
too.
I
would
not
like
to
play
a
Ram
Kapoor
kind
of
character
all
the
time
in
my
career.
On
the
set
with
whom
you
are
most
comfortable
with?
Everyone.
We
all
gel
well
with
each
other
and
there
is
not
any
problem
as
such.
Prachi
is
quite
a
young
girl,
how
comfortable
were
you
enacting
romantic
scenes
with
her?
I
had
no
problems,
I'm
professional.
I
think
you
need
to
ask
this
question
to
Prachi
since
she
is
new
and
young.
For
me,
it
was
like
any
other
scene
that
I
perform
but
I
must
say
Prachi
did
a
good
job.
Who
do
you
think
looks
better
with
you
on
screen,
Prachi
or
Roshni?
I
think
it
would
be
Prachi
as
Bani.
Your
overall
personality
in
the
show
has
attracted
many
women.
What
exactly
do
you
think
clicks
with
them?
This
character
is
all
mine.
Whatever
you
find
Jai
as
is
because
of
my
inputs.
Yes,
the
screenplay
is
the
work
of
the
creative
team
but
the
way
Walia
looks
and
behaves
is
done
by
myself.
Would
you
be
in
favour
of
another
leap
of
about
20
years
in
the
serial?
Why
not?
I
belong
to
that
institution
of
thinking
which
feels
that
an
actor
should
play
all
kinds
of
roles.
In
fact,
it
was
me
who
asked
my
wife
Gautami
to
play
the
character
of
Tulsi
which
is
that
of
a
grandmother.
I
am
playing
a
character
who
is
at
least
15
years
older
to
my
actual
age.
So
give
me
as
many
age
leaps
you
wish
and
I
won't
mind.
Ashwini
Kalsekar
is
back
as
Jigyasa,
do
you
think
it
will
give
the
show
a
boost?
Yes,
it
definitely
will.
She
was
recognized
as
Jigyasa
all
the
time
and
everybody
missed
her
a
lot.
Do
you
think
the
audiences
accept
replacements
easily?
No,
the
acceptance
does
not
come
easily.
It
takes
time
for
people
to
accept
replacement
of
a
big
well-known
character
but
I
believe
it
will
happen
to
all
major
characters
in
long-running
serials
sooner
or
later.
