Ankit Gulati, who will soon be seen in Tere Ishq Mein Ghayal, celebrated his birthday with friends at his residence. He says, “I prefer a house party as it lends a casual vibe to the celebration. You can play the music you want and plan the food you like. Besides, there are no restrictions when it comes to calling it a night. My friends and I had a great time at my birthday party recently.”

Actors Nishant Malkhani, Jatin Singh, and Aryan Arora, among others, attended the celebration.
“A few friends couldn’t make it because of their shooting schedules, but it was a fun evening,” says the actor.

What made this birthday even more special was the fact that Ankit bagged an interesting character in Tere Ishq Mein Ghayal around the same time. He says, “I was confirmed for the show a day before my birthday. So, I am taking it as my birthday gift. As an actor, what else can I ask for? A good show to be a part of. I started shooting for it the following day of my birthday. My entry is slated to air in the coming week.”
He plays Bhima on the show and will be seen locking horns with werewolves. “I will play a bison and will try to kill werewolves to save humans.”

But that’s not it. The actor is also a part of Chashni and with that, he is getting to explore two different genres – daily soaps and the supernatural. “I am getting to experience the best of both worlds (smiles). It of course gets hectic to balance two shows but I have been managing smoothly so far. Both production houses are actor-friendly and they readily make adjustments if my schedule clashes. Also, in the occurrence of a clash, I divide morning and evening shifts between two shows. I am happy to be busy.”
