You and Ekta Kapoor have had a pretty long association. What's it like, working with her?
Ekta is not just a friend, but also a mentor and guide. It's her belief in me that helps me perform on screen. I love her and nothing in this world will ever change our equation.
Your chemistry with Divyanka has been appreciated by viewers. What do you feel makes your jodi such a loved one?
Well I think we both try to keep it as natural as possible. Theirs is not an out-of-this-world romance and people can relate to it. The love is subtle, the way it is in normal homes " no singing songs etc. I think that does the magic! To be appreciated feels nice; it means we're doing something right.
What about your connection with your onscreen daughter Ruhi?
Oh she is the most adorable one on set! I can't help but be protective towards her. She's naughty, but an angel and everyone's favourite.
What's been a memorable thing a fan has done for you?
Recently, a fan had made this huge beautiful card for me with a collage of all of my pictures, starting right from my first show. I was touched.
Which of your co-stars do you get along with best?
I get along well with all my co-stars. Contrary to the belief that I am reserved, I am actually a fun-loving guy. Divyanka, Anita (Hassana-ndani) " all of us get along superbly.
