Most people will remember Ruslaan Mumtaz as the teenaged schoolboy from his debut movie, 'Mera Pehla Pehla Pyaar', back in the year 2007. And now six years later, Ruslaan is making another debut, this time on the small screen with the show, 'Kehta Hai Dil Jee Le Zara'.
Ruslaan said, "My mother, Anjana Mumtaz, was a television actress too. I understand the reach of the medium. In fact, these days, through social media, the fans of television shows are extremely responsive. I have done theatre and films in the past, so I thought it's time to experiment with another medium now."
Ruslaan will play a young lawyer, in a coming of age story. Talking about the character, he said, "I am very happy to be playing a romantic role again. I don't care about being stereotyped. I have done it before with my movies, I have enjoyed it, so why not again? This charactersuits me perfectly."
The show stars Sangeeta Ghosh as the female lead and Ruslaan is excited to be paired opposite her. He told us, "Long back, I remember my mother making me watch this serial where I first saw Sangeeta in a show which also had Aroona Irani. That was the first time I found a TV actress hot. Back then, I never thought I'll be acting along with her. But I am excited about the interesting chemistry our characters will have on the show. This television debut is not so much of a risk for me because the people I am working with in this show are all already big names."
