Jay Bhanushali is happy to be back in fiction with Kairi

As Neev in Balaji’s Kayamath, Jay Bhanushali became a household name. But later he went on to feature in reality shows and stayed away from fiction genre for four and a half years. But now, the handsome actor is making a comeback in Shashi-Sumeet Mittal’s Kairi on Colors. “Well, four and a half years is a pretty long time. But with Kairi, I decided to come back in fiction genre. I have always taken up shows which take my career to new heights and I think Kairi is definitely one such show. I loved it after hearing its script,” says Jay to Tellychakkar.com. Jay has been a part of numerous reality shows, both as a host and participant. Quiz him what made him to do a typical saas-bahu drama and he replies, “I think saas-bahu rocks. It is the only space or genre that is actually working today and people love watching it. We have made this show for daily soap lovers who watch television at prime time. I am quite confident that people will like Kairi and I am hopeful that they will love my work too.” He will be seen as Anuj, a son caught in the midst of the crossfire between his mother and wife. Furthermore, he also admits that he chose Kairi as it is being produced by Shashi-Sumeet Mittal. Their four other shows are already ruling the roost in the TRP chart, especially Diya Aur Baati Hum on Star Plus. “The production house is fabulous and their shows are a big hit. Their writers are also very good. I must admit that it is one of the best production houses that I have worked with.” He further continues, “I am happy that this year, 2012, is proving lucky for me. People still think that I am fresh and not outdated,” he ends with a giggle. Kairi will air from 2 April 2012 at 7 pm.
