Though
he's been on the small screen since a long
time, it was with Balaji's Kahiin Toh
Hoga, where he played a convincing father
to Aamna Shariff, that Chetan
Pandit
got noticed. With many ads and a
few films to his credit, this theatre actor
has also featured in shows namely, Chandrakanta,
Aahat, Kya Hadsa Kya Haqekat, Kahiin Toh
Milege and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi
Bahu Thi.
Prashant Golecha
meets up with Chetan who is currently
associated with Maverick Production's Kulvaddhu
where he plays Samar Rathod.
Why did you quit
Kahin To Hoga?
I did KTH for one and a half years. With the progress of the story the spine of the character was lost so I bid adieu to the show.

Didn't you have
any apprehensions of playing a father to
Aamna when you're just 33?
No I had no apprehensions about playing older characters. I always choose strong characters, who have a say in the story. I am open to all sorts of roles. Many a times people are taken aback to find me looking so much younger in real life.

Has Balaji approached
you post KTH?
Balaji kept offering me roles but somehow I couldn't give in because of commitments or some or the other reason. But if they come up with a strong character in any show I will surely grab it.

How did Kulvaddhu
happen?
Maverick Productions called me and narrated the character of Samar Rathod. I liked it and here I am. As the plot unfolds, my role will have a variety of shades.

Do you think it
is easy to get work on television?
It's very easy! There is a superfluity of channels, production houses and shows in this industry. But what is difficult is to get quality work! Very less people are inclined towards it.

How do you look
back at your career?
In all, I have done more than fifty serials and a lot of films but I still feel I haven't got my due recognition. I have realized that everything in life has a right time.
