Marriage not on my mind: Shakti Arora

TV heartthrob Shakti Arora may be seeing TV actress Neha Saxena for a while now, but he doesn’t have plans to settle down anytime soon. The two met on the sets of the daily soap Tere Liye where they played a reel couple and hit it off instantly. Friendship blossomed into love two years later. While speaking with Tellychakkar, the actor said, “Marriage plans are there but not for the time being as we are focusing on our respective careers. Currently, work is on our minds. Neha is also anchoring programs for a web series.” Shakti is currently seen hosting Sony Entertainment Television’s spiritual drama Mann Mein Vishwaas Hai?. Asked if he was spiritual in real life as well, he said, “Yes, I am very spiritual. I believe in tarot cards.” Talking about the show, the actor shared, “It is a different concept for the audience. The anchoring pattern and body language are also different. In every episode, I have to say four-five shlokas and it is very difficult to memorize them. These are motivational stories, which connect audiences on an emotional level.” We also asked him if the genre-specific show would appeal to a wider audience, “Well, the concept and story-line are mostly attractive to the 40-50 age group. While the youngsters tune into the show for me. I am not giving the credit to myself but it’s true,” he said. The actor, best known for his stint on reality dance show like Nach Baliye, says he is not open to star in a show like Khatron Ke Khiladi. “Not really, I love adventure in life but I can never do a stunt with animals or insects. I believe in staying away from them. I can never ever sing because my singing can put a person to sleep (laughs),” he stated. Lastly, when asked about missing Meri Aashiqui cast and show, Shakti said, “Yes, of course. We all keep meeting and have a Whatsapp group so we are always in touch.” We wish you good luck for your new venture, Shakti!
