Arjun Bijlani does not regret being part of Kaali – Ek Punar Avtar

The handsome hunk Arjun Bijlani has no qualms whatsoever of taking up a show like Kaali – Ek Punar Avatar on Star Plus (Shakuntalam Telefilms) which talked of a sensitive subject. Now that the show is shutting, Arjun has some added time to prepare for his wedding with long time girl friend Neha Swami. Arjun and Neha are all set to tie the knot in May 2013.

Talking about his present project Kaali, the actor said, “Yes, Kaali is all set to end. I always knew that it was a show which had a meaning and would last for six to seven months. The story is based on a sensitive subject and I loved being part of the show. The story and screenplay was just perfect, and the only saddening part is that it is going off air a bit too soon. Having said this, the show got decent TRPs and it did touch the emotional chords of people. I have been appreciated by many for the role I played.”

When asked why the show failed to click with the masses, Arjun promptly replied, “I guess it has to do with the time slot. The slot had a love story in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon earlier, and probably the viewers could not digest a hard-hitting show like Kaali at the same slot. If Kaali had been placed at a different slot, I am sure it would have caught on with the viewers like fire. All said and done, I do not regret doing Kaali as it is a strong role that all actors would want to essay.”

On his future plans, Arjun told us, “I need to start preparing for my wedding. I need some personal space during this time period. But you never know, if I get a show that really impresses me, I will grab it.”

Arjun, we wish you all the very best for your future.
