Veteran TV actor Aanjjan Srivastav, who is currently seen on Colors’ TV Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha as Papaji, turns 65 today! To celebrate this occasion, the actor has kept a small party tonight at a suburban banquet for old friends (Raj Kumar Santoshi,
Kundan Shah), colleagues (actors from
Na Bole TumNa Maine Kuch Kaha) and family. Says Aanjjan, "I look forward to spending the day with my old friends".
Aanjjan, who has been acting for 43 years and has a long standing association with
IPTA, also plans on inviting his theatre friends. Ask the actor what he wishes for his 65th birthday and he replies, "I want my son to settle down and my daughter to get admission in a good college. I also want to go to my
guru’s ashram in Rishikesh with my wife."
The actor still yearns to contribute more to the TV and film industry. Aanjjan adds, "I want to play a negative character on TV and in a film. I also want to work with my old friend Kundan Shah". But Aanjjan biggest ambition is to play social detective Sr. Wagle, a role that he hopes will shape up and one that will help people and spread a social message and creates awareness.
We never tire of watching this legendary actor who has entertained us with special performances in
Wagle Ki Duniya,
Tamas,
Nukkad and
Alpviram. Here’s wishing him a very Happy Birthday and all the luck for his future endeavours!
