Celeb Watch with Bikram Saluja

Celeb Watch with Bikram Saluja

The only time successful model and vying actor Bikram Saluja gets to flick through the idiot box is during mealtimes. “I only watch television while having my dinner and lunch,” says Saluja, who won accolades for his performance as Karisma Kapoor’s brooding lover in Fiza, his debut film.

With such time restraint what does the tennis-player-turned-model-turned actor manage to watch on television? “I love to watch movies and music videos on television. I hate watching the Hindi soaps, though. MTV Bakra is one programme which is very dear to me. Being a film buff, Star Movies is the channel I often switch on, when I have the time,” he says.

And who is his favourite person on television?

“I find MTV video jockey Cyrus Broacha very amiable!” says Saluja. And he never misses out on Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) even while exercising in the gymnasium.

Does he too want to fancy his chances at garnering a huge amount to donate like Sonali Bendre and Amir Khan? “I watch the game show because of the graceful presence of Amitabhji,” defends the Bacchan fan.
