I had read about Lord Shani, so had an idea about the role: Kartikey Malviya

Young sensation Kartikey Malviya, who is grabbing eyeballs as Shani on Colors' newly launched series Karmphal Daata Shani (Swastik Productions), is a hard working guy in real life. The young lad, who is currently studying in 8th Std., aspires to continue being an actor in addition to being a well educated guy. We got chatty with Kartikey to know more about his interests in real, his experience so far and much more. Talking about his real side and playing the role, Kartikey shared with us, "I am an 8th std. student who loves to play cricket, read books and comics in my free time. I am a very good looking and handsome guy. I have worked very hard for this role because it’s a very difficult one. I had read about Lord Shani before this show happened to me, so I had an idea about the role. I take half an hour-45 minutes to get ready with the look of Lord Shani. My experience has been very good so far and whenever I go wrong, my director tells me about it and that helps me to improve." Sharing about his bonding with his on-screen parents Juhi Parmar and Salil Ankola, he added, "It’s a very nice experience working with both of them. They guide me very well for my role and we have a lot of fun as well. We pull each others' legs and play too.” Along with being a good actor, Kartikey is a good student. He manages his studies well and values education. He told us, "My teachers come on my sets to teach me; so whenever I get some free time in the middle of my shoot I study. I aspire to become an actor, but education is my first priority because I know the importance of it. Later on I will see if acting happens to me." All the best, Kartikey…
