Kanan Malhotra, who had a taken a sabbatical after his last Zee TV show Rab Se Sohna Isshq wrapped up, is now gearing to make a comeback on small screen. “After working nonstop for four years, I decided to take a break for a couple of months. During which I worked on my physique. Now with my batteries recharged, I am in talks for a few projects and if all works out you will soon see me in a fresh project again.” Ask him about Rab Se Sohna Isshq and Kanan says, “I had a great time working with Zee TV and the production house (Jay Mehta Productions).” Push him further and he does admit, “Towards the end all the characters become completely different from what they had started with. I don’t know why this happened. My character (Daljeet) was eased out 10 days before the show finally shut shop.” Looking ahead, Kanan who had also played lead in Sawaare Sabke Sapne – Preeto (Imagine TV), is now tired of playing positive characters. “I would love to be the baddie now.” He is not afraid that the audiences will hate him. “I think now viewers have matured enough to distinguish between the character and actor. And ultimately I wish to be known as an actor who can do all kind of roles.” In closing, Kanan says, “The biggest thing I have learnt about the industry is that one needs to be punctual and devoted to your work. Anything else does not matter really. I have also understood that acting is inbuilt and you can’t learn it.”
