Tellychakkar.com caught up with Anas Rashid at the success bash of Star Plus’ Diya Aur Baati Hum recently. In the show – produced by Shashi-Sumeet Mittal Productions Pvt Ltd – he plays Suraj and with his impressive performance he has shot up on the popularity chart. He looked super hot and handsome in a black jacket, a black Superman tee and a pair of blue jeans. He cut the cake, posed with confidence for the shutterbugs and danced passionately with the cast and crew of the soap. “I am really happy today. The show is doing really well. I think people love it for the innocent relationship between a mother and a son and the chemistry between me and Deepika,” said an emotional Anas. The actor further went on to say that he and Deepika connect so much that people think that they are in love. “I take it as a compliment. This shows how well we connect with the audience. It is great.” Yes, it is. But when asked about his personal life and if he is seeing someone, he said, “Not now. Right now I am concentrating on my career. And I have made my mind not to marry till I am 35.” Hmm…quite a revelation. And this is the reason for his delayed nuptial plans, “I have been in three relationships before. One in school, then again in graduation and last one a few years ago. None lasted, because I am not stable from within to enter into any kind of long-term relationship. Why do I say so? Because I think of work all the time. Yes, each break-up did give me a lot of pain, but I have moved on and don’t think I will be with someone anytime soon in the near future.” Okay, the talented lad has made his choice, career over love. But what will happen to so many of girls who fling on to him at parties and crave for his attention. “Well, I have always been a favourite among girls (laughs). And in parties I give importance to everyone because if I can make someone happy, then why not? But nothing goes beyond a good conversation or a dance. After that, I am back thinking about work. I have lots to do in life and there is a lot to achieve.” Well, all the best Anas and we hope you conquer greater heights in life!!!
