Arjun Bijlani is currently hosting Sony Television’s India’s Got Talent. Here’s a candid chat with the actor

How exciting is it for you to host India’s Got Talent?

I am definitely excited but at the same time, I also feel that I have a huge responsibility when it comes to maintaining the standard that India’s Got Talent has set. I am glad to be hosting this season of the show and I promise that I will do my best to entertain my fans.

Can you elaborate your role as a host?

My primary role will be to introduce the contestants to the show and in my own way keep their spirit and motivation levels high. To put it simply, I will be a moderator of moods and confidence and I am glad to be doing this.

What sets India’s Got Talent apart from other reality shows?

I am not here to compare but, as a show, India’s Got Talent has been loved by the audience. It is also respected for the kind of content and talent it churns out. The scale is very high this year too, so it definitely stands out from other reality shows.

What do you enjoy more? Acting or anchoring?

Both! My first love is acting but I also enjoy hosting. When I started hosting, my fans and viewers showered love and that is what kept me motivated to take up more shows. So yes, I balance both and so far, I am enjoying the place I am in.

What is your view on the talent that has come on the show so far?

I shall keep quiet on that because let me tell you, this year, the show has seen some exceptional participation from across the country. So, to pick favourites would not be fair, I have many favourites.

What does fitness mean to you?

Fitness, for me, is a form of lifestyle which has become very important in today’s time, especially in our line of work. A healthy body results in a healthy mind.

What fills your heart with love?

What really fills my heart with love is simplicity, honesty and to just be there for each other.
