Kiran Karmarkar, who is currently seen as Tej Singh Bundela in Colors’ Uttaran (FilmFarm Productions) was initially finalised to play Madhubala’s father Balraj Chaudhary but after he refused to do the same, the role was later taken up by Raj Zutshi in Madhubala-Ek Ishk Ek Junoon. It is said that Kiran was initially approached by Prashant Bhatt, the Programming Head of Colors to play Madhubala’s father. However, since he was busy with Life OK’s Zindagi Kahe… Smile Please, he couldn’t take up the show. But since the project went off-air later, Prashant offered Kiran the role of Tej Singh Bundela in Uttaran that he took up as he found the character very interesting. In fact, the actor tells us that he had been waiting for a role like this and had that not been the case, he wouldn’t have stayed away from TV for two years. “I was being offered a lot of roles after Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki, but I preferred staying out of it as they were all fatherly type of roles. I told to these people that I’d play a father to a 30-40 year old once I look like a father, but not at this age,” observes Kiran. During this phase, the actor preferred to do theatre. That took him around the country with his theatre group. He also went ahead to do movies with Prakash Jha. Kiran, who was last seen in Rajneeti, will soon be seen in the filmmaker’s upcoming flick Chakravyuh in which he plays a corrupt politician.
