Amit Behl, the general secretary of CINTAA(Cine and TV Artistes Association), has consistently lauded Rajan Shahi and his production house, Directors Kut Production. Amidst recent controversies involving the ousting of two leads from the show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai i.e. Shehzada Dhami and Pratiksha Honmukhe, Behl reiterated his staunch support for the production house, a sentiment he has long expressed. He has always been vocal about his appreciation for the production house.
Rajan Shahi stands out as one of the industry’s rare producers who have elevated the quality of television content. Each of his shows has left an indelible mark on the audience, a sentiment echoed by actor Amit Behl, known for his role as Kuldeep Malhotra in Baatein Kuch Ankahee Si.
Reflecting on his experience working with Rajan, Amit expressed admiration, stating, “My collaboration with Rajan Shahi was remarkable. Despite knowing him as a friend for quite some time, it was during Tere Sheher Mein that I had the opportunity to work with him more extensively.”
Amit commended Rajan’s team for their unwavering dedication, passion, and sensitivity on set. “This was the first time I was working with him full-time, and his team, his involvement, his passion, his humanity, and his sensitivity are unbeatable for every person on set that I’ve not really seen in the TV industry. And he sets a benchmark, as an example, because he leads by example, and I am just looking forward to working with him again,” he added.
Recalling the past few months of playing Kuldeep on-screen, Amit said that he is happy that he was able to justify it. “I think that’s the reason why Rajan Ji cast me in this, and the channel also agreed. And I always created a dent when I came with my character, the scenes were very well-written. The other take is that the moral of the story is that money can’t buy you relationships, and money can’t buy you emotions. My character is so ruthless, which is so unlike me. I am oversensitive and overcaring. So another take was that I can play such ruthless characters too.“
He thanked his fans for pouring so much love on him and his character and added, “Good things always come to an end. The show was slightly short-lived, but it’s not in anyone’s hands. I am sure that this team will reunite for another project under Director’s Kut Productions and Rajanji’s guidance and will again create much bigger and better magic.”
Looking ahead, Amit revealed ongoing negotiations for roles with Disney Network and Viacom Network, along with potential opportunities in web series. He mentioned taking a brief hiatus to prioritize his health and fitness.
