Kyunki Ki Pulkit loves playing pranks

His innocent eyes are likely to intoxicate the prettiest damsels. But scratch the surface and what comes up is a real prankster. Pulkit Samrat aka Lakshya of Kyun Ki Saas bhi… fame confesses to being one. Pulkit says, “A lot of people say that I’m a very shareef (innocent) guy but I’m not. I’m the one who plays pranks. For instance, Balaji has imposed a fine of Rs.500 for those who don’t put their mobile phones on silent mode. If ever the phone rings whilst the shoot is on then he/she has to shell out a fine of Rs.500 or distribute sweets of equivalent value.” He adds further, “I pick up my colleagues’ mobiles from their make-up guys and then put it on general mode. Then I give a missed call from my own cell and take Rs 500 from them and feast on sweets.” So, hasn’t he been caught yet? Pulkit replies “Yes I have but they are happy to treat me. We make sure that no one misses out on the ‘fine’.” Pulkit has been a part of Kyunki for some time. In this period, Smriti Irani-Malhotra was replaced by Gautami Kapoor as Tulsi. So, which Tulsi does Pulkit find better to work with? “Both of them have been equally good. Smriti was part of the show for seven years. Thus Gautami’s task was to break the image of Smriti as Tulsi. However, without breaking anything, Gautami has added a new dimension to the character and she’s been accepted by all,” says Pulkit diplomatically. The actor may refuse to compare the two but he doesn’t hesitate in saying that he has a lot of fun with Gautami. Says he, “Smriti always had a tight schedule, thus I never got much time to chill with her. However, I enjoy myself a lot with Gautami. Her hubby Ram Kapoor is also a dear friend of mine.”
