[DTF Editor]

Amit Sareen is back on television with a new look and character that he has not portrayed so far!! He plays Sia’s (Abigail Jain) coach Karanveer in Channel V’s Humse Hai Life, produced by 4 Lions Films.<img src="http://news.desitvforum.net/images/stories/2012/may2012/amit%20sareen.jpg" border="0" width="284" height="227" align="right" /><br /><br />Talking about the role, Amit Sareen in a conversation with Tellychakkar.com says, “This show fell in the space where I have not done anything like this before. This is not a typical saas bahu saga, it is a show based on a mentor and to play the character of a person who makes someone realize their dreams is something special. The mentor gives his experience, time and hard work to other people who don’t mean anything to him/her. And to play a boxing coach is definitely unique. You do not get many soaps related to sports today. The character is multi-dimensional, is full of passion, emotions and I love that aspect about it”.<br /><br />Talking about his personal interest in boxing, Amit tells us, “Let me narrate to you one incident that happened in childhood. After seeing the movie Rocky starring Sylvestor Stallone, I developed the egg eating habit. Rocky used to exercise everyday and used to eat many eggs. I started this habit then and continue to do so even today (smiles). Of course, I have a keen interest in boxing too and this pushed me to accept this role. And when it comes to fitness and keeping my body in shape, I guess it is part of my daily regime. Being an actor, we always have to keep ourselves fit and trim”.<br /><br />Getting back to his character in Humse Hai Life, Amit states, “I am sporting a rugged look for the first time on television. I have always portrayed the softer side of me, and had a boy-next-door or a chocolate boy look. But here, I am this disciplined guy who has a rugged look in both his appearance and in attitude”.<br /><br />Ask Amit whether he would accept to do a bare body sequence and he says, “Well, if the situation demands and the scene is impactful, I would not mind doing it”.<br /><br />All the best to you, Amit..<br />
