Arjun's ride to fame
Arjun Punjj wants to ride his way to glory on his motorbike, his lucky mascot on screen
Arjun Punjj aka Prem in Star One's Saathi Re is not a motorbike freak, yet he considers motorbikes his lucky mascot. So much so that he makes it a point to ride a bike in his introduction scene for ever serial he does.
He even went a step further and requested the producer of Nach Baliye 2 to let him make an entry on stage on a bike. "I wanted to keep a bike in the background during my performance. But the channel refused my request. So I guess I have to dance without my lucky charm and keep my fingers crossed for the dance show," he says.
The actor is also positive about his other show Saathi Re being a hit. Why? "My last two shows, Sanjivani and Woh Rehne Waali Mehlon Ki, where I had been introduced on a bike had become very popular. So, I am very optimistic about this show too," he says. "This time, I make a grand entry where I am seen speeding on Suzuki Hayabusa along the sea face in Worli. It was the costliest scene I have ever shot."
However, Arjun admits that he doesn't really like to ride a bike in real life. "I am crazy about four-wheelers. The moment I see a good car, like a Ferrari, a BMW or a Rolls Royce, I feel like getting behind the wheel. However, given an opportunity to ride a bike like Hayabusa, I guess I'd be game for it too," he says.
