I don't idolise anyone: Saurabh

doweshowbellyad=0; Saurabh Pande (TOI Photo) New kid on the block, 19-year-old Delhi boy Saurabh Pande seems set for a long innings. Saurabh makes no bones about the fact that he had always wanted to be an actor. ���I am here because I wanted to be an actor and I love what I am doing,��� he declares.
Saurabh who���s done some commercials and music videos is one of the few actors on television to have a six-pack physique.This comes from being a fitness freak who has long work out sessions at the gym. ���Sometimes I am not able to hit the gym, but I exercise daily for an hour and ensure that I have a protein-rich diet,��� says the actor, who���s currently seen in Jiya Jale on 9X..
Talking about his leisure activities, the young actor says, ���I enjoy cooking, meditating and sketching a lot.��� So, how good a chef is he? ���I am a big-time foodie. I never eat what I cook, but my friends say I am a good cook. They especially crave for my biryani and methi malai,��� brags Saurabh.
Like a lot of television actors, Saurabh aspires to make it big on the big screen, but is ready to wait for the right opportunity. Does the budding actor idolise someone? ���I respect all senior actors, but I don���t idolise anyone in particular. I get my inspiration from within,��� confesses Saurabh and adds, ���I don���t want to be called a star. Rather I want the audience to appreciate every performance of mine. That will be my biggest reward.���
How has life changed for the actor after he shot to fame? ���Not much,��� says Saurabh, elaborating, ���I can���t spend much time with my family and friends, but whenever we are together, we spend quality time. I can be myself with them.���
If he hadn���t been an actor Saurabh would have opted to be an engineer or a martial arts expert. Ask him who he finds attractive and there���s a hint of laughter in his voice, ���Well, at one point, I used to find Mallika Sherawat sexy, but I am looking for a new dream girl.���
