By Staff
Yograj
Singh,
father
of
celebrated
cricketer
Yuvraj
Singh
is
trying
his
luck
in
the
Hindi
television
industry
with
a
new
Hindi
serial
on
Colors
Mohe
Rang
De,
after
a
successful
stint
in
the
Punjabi
film
industry.
He
is
currently
shuttling
between
Chandigarh
and
Mumbai
and
spending
two
weeks
in
a
month
in
each
city
to
ensure
the
right
balance.
He
took
time
of
his
busy
schedule
to
speak
about
his
entry
into
Hindi
serials,
his
passion
and
relation
with
son
Yuvraj.
Excerpts
from
the
interview.
What
made
you
decide
to
venture
into
Hindi
serials?
I
have
acted
in
more
than
100
films
in
Punjab
and
wanted
to
do
something
with
Hindi
serials.
Though
I
have
done
a
Hindi
film
with
Jeetendra
and
Rekha
called
Insaaf
Ki
Devi
earlier,
I
have
never
acted
in
a
Hindi
serial.
So
when
Deepti
Bhatnagar
(producer
of
the
serial)
personally
requested
me
to
do
Mohe
Rang
De
there
was
no
way
I
could
refuse.
The
role
I
am
playing
in
the
serial
is
also
very
significant
and
close
to
my
real
self.
And
last
but
not
the
least,
Deepti's
in
laws
are
very
close
friends
of
mine,
so
that
made
me
more
inclined
towards
this
serial.
Tell
us
something
about
your
role
in
Mohe
Rang
De.
I
play
Kulbhushan,
father
of
Rajbeer
(the
male
lead
of
the
serial).
Kulbhushan
is
very
close
to
a
dictator
and
wants
things
done
his
way
and
nothing
else
is
acceptable.
He
couldn't
study
much
and
started
a
business
of
dry
fruits
at
a
very
young
age.
The
story
deals
with
how
he
makes
it
big
in
life
and
does
things
his
way
throughout.
However,
there
is
a
softer
side
to
him
as
well
–
particularly
his
sense
of
humour.
But
whatever
Kulbhushan
does,
he
conveys
a
very
positive
message.
You
started
your
career
as
a
cricketer.
Why
did
you
move
to
films?
It
is
a
very
sad
story
and
I
still
feel
bad
about
it.
I
had
an
injury
while
playing
and
because
of
that
I
was
forced
to
retire
from
international
cricket.
There
was
lot
of
politics
involved
and
it
became
a
very
murky
situation.
However,
cricket
still
is
my
first
love.
I
eat,
sleep
and
dream
cricket.
I
run
a
cricket
academy
in
Chandigarh
and
that
is
why
I
spend
two
weeks
in
a
month
there.
Life
without
cricket
is
not
possible
for
me.
But
you
have
not
had
a
very
good
relation
with
Yuvi...
Yes.
We
had
some
differences
but
all
that
is
sorted
out
now.
We
are
very
close
to
each
other
now.
He
is
fulfilling
the
dreams
I
had
in
cricket.
I
want
Yuvraj
to
be
a
legend
in
the
cricketing
world
and
take
revenge
for
all
the
injustice
that
has
been
done
to
me
in
the
world
of
cricket.
Is
it
true
that
your
younger
son
Zorawar
is
entering
Bollywood?
Yes.
I
don't
want
Yuvraj
to
venture
into
acting
before
he
retires
from
cricket.
But
I
want
Zorawar
to
make
a
mark
in
the
film
industry
and
as
such
he
is
currently
undergoing
a
training
course
at
Kishore
Namit
Kapoor's
acting
school.
My
life
is
a
mix
of
cricket
and
acting
I
want
my
sons
to
become
great
cricketers
and
actors.
Your
life
seems
to
be
full
of
events.
What
else
is
happening?
I
am
keeping
extremely
busy
with
a
couple
of
films
and
Mohe
Rang
De.
God
has
given
me
a
new
life
with
these
opportunities.
At
my
age,
I
have
completed
my
responsibilities
as
a
son,
wife
and
father
and
now
I
am
doing
what
my
hearts
wants
me
to.
