“Naveen is short-tempered. For him, his family, especially his daughter is a priority. He lost his wife at a very young age so he has raised his daughter along with his mother. He is pure by heart and for him every situation is either black or white. I am not totally like him in real life, especially don’t connect with his temper issue. But I guess that’s the charm,” he says.
Kulkarni shares that the title of the show makes one understand that this is all about love. “And our journey to find love is different from each other. The show is very close to my heart and the reason this song helped my wife and I profess love for each other. No one proposed but one day she sang this song during one of our family functions and that was it. Since that day, it was the beginning of the new journey,” says the actor, known for shows such as Aai Kuthe Kay Karte (Marathi show) and Rudram (Hindi show). He has also done theatre and worked on the web.
Sonali and Amir Jaffar of Full House Media are behind the show Aapki Nazron Ne Samjha and the actor can’t stop praising the duo.
It is not easy to survive in showbiz. But when the team is good enough, like the one in the show, the journey becomes easier. “The best thing about this industry is that many things to offer but then it’s never an easy ride. It’s like the song… Kabhi Toh Hasaye, Kabhi Yeh Rulaye. On the kind of work that is being done in the industry now, it’s good that women-centric shows are dominating but not many are experimenting with content much, more or less it is TRP driven,” explains the actor, who after a hard day at work unwinds by spending time with family.
If not an actor what would you have been? “I would have been working in an advertisement firm. I have a marketing back ground,” pat comes the reply.
