I am happy being my wife's slave: Gurmeet Choudhary

He was known as the Greek God of Indian television and was popular for his bare body entry scenes on television Continuing the streak on the 70mm screen Gurmeet Choudhary claims that before Khamoshiyan no one wanted to touch him and how the film opened doors for him in Bollywood He talks about his lifeline ndash Debina Bonnerjee his upcoming film and moreWere you happy with your blink and miss debut in Mahesh Bhattrsquos KhamoshiyanI donrsquot have a background in films I hail from a small town and was a television actor Because TV supported me I became a star overnight Irsquove done all the big hit shows you can think of My career has been great but itrsquos still difficult to get a break in Bollywood In that case Khamoshiyan opened the door of Bollywood for me Before that no one was ready to touch me My debut got me my second film which is being directed by Vishal Pandya In my next film people will get to see a lot more of meWhy did you choose an erotic thriller for your seconD filmWhy not As an actor I see two things ndash who is the producer and the director A good name increases your confidence Vishal has given hits like Hate Story 2 and 3 His filmrsquos content was powerful and what more can an actor as for When he told me the whole concept of the film it excited me Most films are good till the interval post that the storyline goes for a toss However this film will keep you at the edge of your seats till the endThere have been several Hollywood films with the concept of live screening of murders So whatrsquos so new about Wajah Tum HoSee I cannot reveal the whole story but the screenplay dialogues are powerful and it is backed by logic The twists and turns will be unexpected and every time you predict something it will be very differentDo you fear being type cast as an erotic thriller actorThe position I am in right now is the aspiration of many people in the world Whatever I am I am not saying I am big but itrsquos a place that many want to reach I have never feared being typecast Being typecast is also an achievement If I really feared that I would never have done a show like Ramayan The show was a huge success so much so that people actually worshiped me and put money at my feet So many people have done mythological shows and they get stuck in that zone I feel I have managed to alter my image so many times After Ramayan people fell in love with Maan Singh Khurana His character in Geet Huyi Sabse Parayi and then I did a lot of reality shows There has to be some talent to even get type cast right If I can get out of the image of Ram at the age of 23 then why would I be scared of it nowAre comfortable doing erotic thrillersIf this movie was something like the Hate Story series it would have been called Hate Story 4 But thatrsquos not the case The scenes between Sana and me depict our love on screen which is normal and goes with the story Our film is not about sex Itrsquos a masala film and is a complete packageBetween Khamoshiyan and Wajah Tum Ho mdash how many offers did you get and how many did you rejectI did reject two films with some big names and trust me had I given a nod for it my career would have been over I canrsquot say lsquonorsquo easily but today I feel I made the right decision Irsquove never made an impromptu plan My journey since 2008 Ramayan days has been planned meticulously I have my goals etched on my bathroom mirror I know I want to work with Rajkumar Hirani and Rohit Shetty some day And if they say I have to run naked and reach their Bandra office right now Irsquoll do it without a second thought Thatrsquos how my planning worksBut your marriage was not on the list rightDebina and I were barely 1819 when we got married Some things you cannot plan But I can confidently say that without Debina I would have never been successfulWhy do most people feel that she is the dominating one in your relationshipIrsquove never heard this before But Irsquod say this if with my wife dominating me I could reach here then it is a good thing I want to be her lsquojoru ka ghulamrsquo My lsquowifersquos slave If a small town boy from Bihar can reach where I am now ndash itrsquos all because of Debina She has supported me through everything It was my dream to be a star and post marriage it became her dream too My life is incomplete without herThen why did we hear all these rumours about your fights and that you and Debina were heading towards splitsvileAs an actor you have to face these things on a daily basis and it is not the first time Whenever I get a script to act Debina and I both read the script together and decide When I was rehearsing for Wajah Tum Ho Debina would give me the cues and pracice the dialogues with me So how would she not know what I am doing in the film Having said that I am sure if not the the story would have been lsquoWhy is Debina not affected by my intimate scenes Is there nothing left between themrsquo Wersquove gone way beyond peoplersquos imagination in our relationshipDo you get tired justifying your relationship with DebinaI am not tired but I feel bad mainly because my family is from a small town We may not get affected by what people say but for them these things matter So when they hear news like that they call to find out if everything is okay Just a few days ago back my folks called to find out if everything is okay in our lifeOne television actress you want to work with againI would say Kratika Sengar She is a good actor down to earth and extremely talentedOne actress you donrsquot want to work withTherersquos no one like that Given an opportunity Irsquod work with all of them again Even Drashti Dhami because we heard that yoursquoll donrsquot get along anymore If there is work for us together wersquoll work Why notAny plans to build the family aheadI love kids but we are so busy right now trying to build our careers Plus we feel we are still kids and have a lot of growing up to do So we will be waiting a bit more for family planning
