Of fields & feelings

All work, no play
Actor Hiten Tejwani, who mesmerised the small screen audience in Ekta Kapoor’s serial Kyun Ki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, is a busy man these days. Hiten is currently doing two daily soaps for Balaji telefilms and has gone ahead and signed another show, Savdhan India, which he will be hosting. Although, the 3 shows luckily have the same location but he still ends up being on set for a good 16-17 hours at a stretch. As per a source, “Hiten is shooting 3 shifts daily which tend to become hectic at times, but its something he enjoys so its fine.”
