Claim to fame: Abhay Kapoor in Kkusum serial
Dr Anuj Saxena, who became a popular face with television show "Kkusum" in yester years is on a comeback trail, but on the big screen this time.
Dr Anuj Saxena a medical Doctor by profession and Managing Director of well known FMCG company Elder Healthcare, decided to take a break and started focussing on his business and creating brands for his company around 2006.
“Now that my business is doing well, you will soon see me back on the screen with Parathe Wali Gali, currently being shot in and around Delhi. I have also shot for a pilot episode of a Bhairavi Raichura production for a popular channel. Now I will figure out how to balance time between business and acting.” Said Dr Anuj Saxena, Who has number of big screen assignments . After Paranthe Wali Gali, Anuj will next be shooting for Black Currency. Produced by Shantiniketan Films and directed by Sanjay Sharma, the film stars Nawazzuddin Sidiiqui in the key role along with Minissha Lamba, Hrishita Bhatt, Ravi Kissan and others.
Known as the dream husband to his female leads in his all-time famous shows Kkusum with Nausheen Ali Sardar and Kumkum with Juhi Parmar, Anuj belongs to the promoter family of Elder Pharmaceuticals. His production house Maverick Productions, that is currently making Devyani on Star Pravah and "Pyaar Ya Dehshat" on Big TV and Maverick will soon launch a big show on Zee TV.
“Well, as far as my journey in life is concerned, it has been a roller coaster ride. Each and every year has been a learning experience for me. Currently, I am happily producing Devyani and PYD and soon will be coming up with two new shows; one for Zee TV and the other for another GEC channel.
“Kkusum was a show that ran for five years. The good or bad part about it is that it got over eight years ago but still people connect me with it, In the last five years keeping away from limelight was no big deal me, But everytime I decided to go away from acting, it happened the other way round and while many kept struggling, he moved on to become aproducer. “I am still an actor, I have just expanded my portfolio. The ability to produce came from the business side of my family. Though I lost in the films that I made (Aloo Chaat and Chase) but I hope to earn the double in future through God’s grace,” he says .
Its a piece of cake for me to switch from being an actor to a businessman. “I have kind of perfected the art by now. The minute the director says cut, I start taking my business calls and attending my production house and get back to the actor mode when camera starts rolling.” All it takes to accomplish is time management and technology that enables him to multi-task.
