Introducing Arjun Rampal

To be compared to the Big B an institution in himself, appears high praise from your Director for a newcomer, even if he was once the 'God of the Ramp'.

Junior B is infact still struggling under his Dad's staggering shadow despite his genetically borrowed 'B-mannerism'. Here's good news for all those who think it's noisome for star-kids to monopolise Glow Biz for the new Adonois in the block is cent per cent model with not the remotest links with the movies.

Here's introducing Arjun Rampal, an extremely camera-friendly, telegenic dynamo who's hitting our screens soon with Ashok Mehta's 'Moksha' opposite Manisha Koirala and in Ad man Shantanu Sheorey's 'Jadh' co-starring Jackie Shroff and Smriti Mishra.

But the guy squirms with discomfort when he's reminded of Shantanu's compliment, '' I think it's much too early to say anything. Shantanu's just being kind and encouraging. It's not right to say I'm the next Amitabh Bachchan ...such comparisons raise expectations unnecessarily. ''

If the rushes of 'Pyaar, Ishq, Aur Mohaabat' are any indication then Arjun is a surefire winner all the way.

What a refreshing breather for those who think Hrithik is over-hyped. With his lady-killer looks this guy's out on a conquest with a stint in acting schools from the US and in India behind him.

But watch out girls Arjun is already married to supermodel Mehr Jessia. Infact this 28-year-old has been happily married for the past three years and highly recommends the wedded status, - '' Mehr has changed me. I'm happy and relaxed now. Marriage has had a positive effect on my life. ''
