Enter Pravesh

From biking on tough terrains for MTV Roadies to braving the stifling heat of Bigg Boss,Pravesh Rana has done a lot to become a celebrated TV star.

From biking on tough terrains for MTV Roadies to braving the stifling heat of Bigg Boss,Pravesh Rana has done a lot to become a celebrated TV star. Anchoring Season 2 of Emotional Atyachar on Bindaas channel was in order and there he is.

“Acting offers that came my way were not too exciting. Anchoring talent shows sucks! Stand-up comedy requires tremendous consistency of mood. On the other hand,Emotional Atyachar is challenging as nobody ever knows what happens at which moment,so I chose the show,” said Rana,in Lucknow on Wednesday to announce his ‘pravesh’ (entry) into the reality show.

The programme crew spies on people whom their love interest suspects of cheating. The high point is the showdown that ensues when the cheat’s escapades are exposed and recorded on camera.

“I am not committed to anyone so there is no question of my being put to a loyalty test,” grins Rana,who wants to enter films,but “only when there is a worthy proposition.”

It was only his second visit to the city as a celebrity,but the 25 years old has spent quite some time here. “I was lodged here for the sessions at KD Singh Babu stadium while playing basketball for the national team. Bhul Bhulaiya,Tunde kabab,Hazratganj…I’ve actually been there,done that,” said the comely Meerut guy,crowned Haywards Mr India,who has shot two episodes for the show in New Delhi.

But once a sportsman,always the association. He is also hosting a curtain-raiser to the Commonwealth Games for Doordarshan. “There is no dearth of sports talent in India and even if you pardon the lack of facility for practice and cases of exploitation by some deviant coach,nutrition deficit needs to be addressed in a big way. There is no letup in price rise and food adulteration leaves little scope for nourishing sports persons,” he laments.

‘Atyachar’ has so many manifestations,we agree.
