Kiran Karmarkar (TOI Photo)On a recent visit to the city, television actor Kiran Karmarkar tells AT what working with Smriti Irani and Saakshi Tanwar has been like.
Television star Kiran Karmarkar became a household name overnight, thanks to Om (the character he played in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii for five long years).
The actor who is busy doing a play with television actress Sangeeta Ghosh, is taking a break from television for the time being.
I am just waiting for a good role to come my way,” he says.
Kiran, who has worked with the nation’s favourite telly bahus Smriti Irani (
The actor met his wife Rinku while working in a soap where both played brother and sister. “We met on the sets and decided to get married.” Being from the same profession, how do they manage hectic schedules and the travelling? “We always get to spend time with each other. When I work she does not work and when she works I don’t work,”he points out.
On screen Kiran has played many roles — from that of a family person to an ambitious business tycoon. What is the real Kiran like? “I am a very ordinary person with various emotions,” he explains. After so many years in the industry, is there something called a dream role for him? “There is no such thing as a dream role. What’s the point in doing something that somebody has already done?” he asks.
And when he’s not shooting, Kiran is fond of watching films. “I liked Ijaazat so much that I watched it for 30 times.”

The actor who is busy doing a play with television actress Sangeeta Ghosh, is taking a break from television for the time being.
“I am not doing any projects on television now. I am doing a play and travelling for the same.
I am just waiting for a good role to come my way,” he says.
Kiran started off his acting career on stage (doing Marathi plays), went on to become a regular face in print and TV commercials. After doing cameos in several television soaps, a major role in Ekta Kapoor’s Ghar Ek Mandir became the turning point in his career. “I always wanted to be an actor. I believe in doing good work and will take up anything that will give me a chance to do better. I don’t plan anything.
Kiran, who has worked with the nation’s favourite telly bahus Smriti Irani (
Thodi Si Zameen Thoda Sa Aasman) and with Saakshi Tanwar (Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki), has words of praise for both. “Both Smriti and Saakshi are extremely professional. While Saakshi is devoted to her work, Smriti is hardworking and focused.
