The handsome hunk Harshad Chopra who was lately seen in 'Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil' as Prem and has a huge female following, will be back with a bang in Star Plus's 'Tere Liye' . The show is an intense love story which made us ask our guy about his first love and crush. And he replied, "Yes, I did have a crush when I was a child and not quite grown up."

So was she your class teacher or someone like that? "No, she wasn't my class teacher but my class mate. I was in the 4th standard and she was my friend. I was crazy about her long hair. She had a very shiny and beautiful head of hair and I used to follow her after school just to catch a glimpse of her hair." And even before our school started, I used to come up behind her just to see her and her beautiful long hair." He added.

"That's what my first love and crush was all about but I am still too young to understand and define love as it's really a feeling which cannot be measured in words," signs off Harshad.

Well after this your female fan following is going to increase for sure!

"If I get into a relationship now, I know there will be several complaints and resentments and that's the last thing I would ever want from someone I love," he added.

Harshad made his acting debut in a negative role in Zee TV's show "Mamta". But he was noticed as Cadet Ali Baig in "Left Right Left" and later seen in Sony TV's "Amber Dhara".

He was last seen in "Kis Desh Mein Hai Mera Dil" and is now returning to the small screen after a short break with "Taryay Liyay", which is also a Balaji Telefilms production for STAR Plus.

Once again, he plays an emotional and reserved loverboy. But he has no problems about being typecast.

"I have tried to do different characters with each project. In 'Left Right Left', I played a very innocent and straight character and in 'Amber Dhara', I played a larger than life role. But romantic characters always appeal to a larger audience," he said.

The 27-year-old hails from a small town Gondia in Maharashtra and has not let instant stardom go to his head. He is quite intimidated with the expectations his audience has from him with "Taryay Liyay", starting June 14.

"Till 'Amber Dhara', I was still learning about everything. But with 'Kis Desh'', everyone noticed me. Everyone has a perception about me as Prem, my character from that show and it is frightful to see how the audience's expectations from me have risen so high," he said.

"'Taryay Liyay' is a big project. It is being talked about, people are excited and I don't want criticism for it. I am putting in my best. People feel things are easy, but now is the time when it's getting difficult by the day," added Harshad in a nervous tone.

He added: "I have a long way to go. I have just started and there's a lot more I need to do as an actor."

Ekta Kapoor remains Queen of Television at 35


As Ekta Kapoor turns 35 today, let's take a trip down memory lane and see what makes her the Queen of television. There is no doubt that Ekta and her company Balaji Telefilms are a big name in the television industry. Some would even go ahead to say that Ekta is the reason that the homes of many are running smoothly.

Currently she is busy organising her new show Tere Liye on Star Plus. The new trailers have already begun bombarding the television screens screaming out loud about 'Anurag' and 'Taani's' love story. Very soon they will become a part of our lives like all the others have in the past.

Very often in random conversation you would mention a 'Tulsi' or 'Parvati' and 'Mihir' like they were always a part of your family. She created names like 'Sujal', 'Kashish', etc. and they soon became the actor's identity. Till date many refer Smriti Irani as 'Tulsi', Sakshi Tanwar as 'Parvati' and Rajeev Khandelwal as 'Sujal'.

That's the kind of magic Ekta created with her daily soaps. No one saw it coming but Ekta came, saw and conquered the television industry with the blink of an eye. Surely many tried to ape her ways and pattern but not many could capture the market that she by then solely dominated.

There may have been many instances when viewers sit before the television and complain that Ekta is all about marriages and extramarital affairs. Truly Ekta has been a sucker for love stories and high drama which includes marriages, extra marital affairs, tragic accidents leading to death and a sudden reincarnation with a new face and identity; but then who doesn't like high pitched drama?

Ekta Kapoor was the first one to add all the mirch masala into the daily soaps. In other words, make it into a small film in itself with songs and glamorous vamps. She took great care in defining the character of the vamps and villains.

Ekta even made the clothes (read saris) her characters wore popular, and the retailers benefited as people flocked in to buy 'Kumkum' and 'Kamolika' saris and various attires.

Ekta Kapoor had started her stint at the age of 17 with the hit comedy show Hum Paanch which was then rated among the top charts. One of her earlier shows included Mano Ya Na Mano.

She has managed to feel the pulse of the masses and the latest trends. It was true that Ekta was very particular about naming all her serials with the letter 'K' but lately she has begun experimenting with other alphabets.

Her latest television soaps include Tere Liye, Pavitra Rishta, etc.

In addition to all this Ekta also produces films, some of which have starred her actor brother Tusshar Kapoor. Ekta's latest film, Love Sex Aur Dhoka directed by Dibankar Banerjee received rave reviews.

Clearly these are just a few feathers on her hat. Ekta plans to do a lot more and there would be no stopping her.

Do you think Ekta still has it in her? Have your say.
