Known as Kavyanjali’s Kavya and Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka’s Kunal Sehgal, Eijaz
Khan, a well-known face in the television industry reminisces the days
he spent in Chembur
Born in Hyderabad and brought up in Mumbai, this talented actor spent his childhood in Chembur.
“I had never planned anything for myself,” admits a gratified
Eijaz. He started off his career with small modeling assignments and
today he is the face of one of the most famous production houses in the
city.
While schooling from Our Lady of Perpetual Succour High School,
Eijaz used to stay at Vijay Vihar Society. Khan has done his schooling
from Our Lady of Perpetual Succour High School in Chembur and then went
on to do a course in Civil Engineering before taking to acting. When
questioned why he choose acting as a profession, Khan said that he did
the course, as his father wanted him to do so. Born on August 28, 1975,
Eijaz has seen Chembur developing along with his age and realises that
today Chembur has become a lot more commercial than before.
“I hardly get to see those Anglo- Indian bungalows anymore. All I
get to see now are the commercial banks and the showrooms.” He catches
up with his friends and relatives here every fortnight or once a month
when he packs up early.
Sheepishly, Eijaz states that he had no girlfriends in school. “I
was too shy to approach any girl,” he avers and adds, “I remember doing
all sorts of stunts on my BMX bicycle like free stands and riding on
rough tracks at B.A.R.C.” Overcome with nostalgia, Eijaz remembers the
good old days when he used to play soccer and basketball with his
friends. When asked if he would like to come back to his childhood
abode, he says, “I would love to. But it would get inconvenient for me
to commute to my studio every day from Chembur.” The actor currently
stays at Marol, which is relatively close to his workplace.
Right now his only show on air is ‘Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka’ and his
disappearance from ‘Kavyanjali’ has really disappointed many viewers.
“You will not see me in the show for now,” he informs. There are also
rumours of him not getting along with his new co-star Sangeeda, who
plays Nimmo in KHNK. “My equation with Anita Hassandani (Anjali of
Kavyanjali) is the best till date,” he concludes diplomatically.
CG Plus wishes this former Chembur resident the very best for the future!
