How did you bag this iconic singing reality show? Due to the growing popularity of my show Sasural Genda Phool, I have been getting some pretty interesting offers. I got a call from Zee and makers of the show, and I met them. They said they liked my style. One thing led to another, talks materialized and I went in for a look test. Once that was locked, I became the part of this show | ||||
What do like about Sa Re Ga Ma Little Champs? It's a superb show and a brand today that gives a cool and credible platform to the little singers of our country to display their talent. I am glad to be part of this show as I have grown up watching Sa Re Ga Ma Pa and Antakshari with my family. I secretly desired to be on stage and sing my heart out, but thank God I didn't. I am enjoying shooting and the atmosphere on the sets of the show. |
How is working with little anchors Afsha Musani and Dhairya? They are superb and at the same time very naughty. It's great fun to shoot with them. They are the little wonders of the show and I really want the audiences to see all our masti we do while shooting for the show. There would be lot of pranks we played on each other shown on air. |
What is more difficult anchoring or acting? Both are very difficult and different but frankly speaking, I am enjoying anchoring currently. Though it was very hard and one has to get the hang of it, but once you get on with it and start shooting, its fun. I am enjoying both acting and anchoring as both teach me something new daily. |
Who is your anchoring icon on television and why? I really admire Shah Rukh Khan's style as I feel he is a great entertainer. I love the way he interacts with the audiences, which I think is key to becoming a successful anchor. |
Among television actors, who do you think is the best anchor? For me, SRK is best anchor on television today. As for others, I feel they are good and doing a fine job. I don't have favourites as such. |
How are you managing shooting for your serial Sasural Genda Phool and Little Champs? It does get pretty hectic and very tiring but I am loving all the excitement. As they say, no gain without pain. |
What would be your message to your fans? Thanks everyone for loving me as Ishaan Kashyap and applauding my acting in the show.Now I want the same support and love from all my fans to accept me as anchor. |
