End of the road

Ejaz Khan, who played Kavya in Ekta Kapoor’s daily soap ‘Kavyanjali’, says he is still not able to stomach the fact that he is no more associated with the serial. After three nights of vigorous action scenes, Kavya died in the serial. “It still hasn’t sunk in as yet,” Ejaz said. “I feel an emptiness inside. For one whole year the unit of ‘Kavyanjali’ has been my family, so much so that I have spent more time in my vanity van than at home. My brothers in the soap were like my real brothers. But no, Amrita Singh wasn’t like my real mom. She is too cool, too chilled out to fit into the mom’s image and too dignified to be part of the fun that we did on the sets.” What fun? “Oh you know, fooling around, blowing kisses at each other, shouting, screaming, dancing and playing the fool.” So does Ejaz plan to keep in touch with the “Kavyanjali” crew? “I don’t think so. One moves on.” Ejaz likes doing his own stunts. “It’s been three days of really hectic work for me. I have been jumping from one parapet to another, trying to save my screen son. Two days into the shooting, I was dangling four feet above ground level when I suddenly felt something give way. “I thought this was it. But nothing happened. That incident jolted me out of my woozy state.” Ejaz hadn’t slept for more than 48 hours. “It was a crucial juncture in the plot. And we needed to finish Ka-vya’s track with as much finesse as possible. I am going to miss being part of ‘Kavyanjali’. “But what the hell? Everything ends in life.”
