Anuj Sachdeva – Few famous male TV actors refused to be a part of Chhanchhan…..

Anuj Sachdeva better known as Amrit of Sabki Laadli Bebo recently stepped into the shoes of debutant actor Farhan Khan as the lead of Sony Entertainment Television’s Chhanchhan (Optimystix Productions).
On the reason for taking up this show, Anuj explains to us, “The main reason for accepting this show is because my fans wanted to see me back on TV. Secondly, the producers here were quite flexible. I had told them that I would need some time off in October (2013) for the shoot of my film and they readily agreed.”

Ask him about entering a show wherein he replaces someone, and he states, “It was a decision taken by the channel and if I had not accepted the role, someone else would have taken it. I am sure Farhan must have put in his best. And he will continue to do so in the future too. I do not think it is right to compare two people. I am playing Manav Borisagar as best as I feel, according to the way I observe the situation. I will follow the brief given to me by the creative team from time to time and mould myself accordingly. Honestly speaking, it will take me some time to get my timing right with Chhanchhan (Sanaya Irani) and other family members.”

Anuj has no problems whatsoever with the fact that Sanaya had wanted her boyfriend Mohit Sehgal as her co-star. “Even I have a girlfriend and I would like it if I can spend more time with her on the sets, I know both of them personally and have no issues.”

Ask him about shows being terminated too early if things do not work in their favour and the actor goes on to say, “We really do not know what will work despite putting in our best efforts. Even the mighty Shah Rukh Khan has given flops, isn’t it?”

He also clarifies, “I know of few big male TV stars who have refused to be a part of Chhanchhan, as they might have thought that the show is a lost cause. But I look at it from a different angle. I feel that this is the time to prove my ability by turning things around for this sinking ship. Having said this, I am not an Aamir Khan to carry out this single-handedly, it will of course be a team effort. It is always not about ratings; if I can make a mark it will help my career. Some shows like Dill Mill Gayye and Geet Hui Sabse Parayi never got great ratings, yet they were loved because of the way the artistes performed.”

Anuj, we appreciate your positive outlook and wish you all the best!!!
