"My role as Satbir, Vrushbhaan's illegitimate child in Buniyaad, gave me instant recognition, after which I went on to do serials like Saans, Family No. 1, Dard and Siski," says Singh.

"Rameshji [Sippy] was looking out for someone to play Roshan, later played by Mazhar Khan. Rameshji wanted me to do that role, but I wanted to play Satbir since I saw more potential in it. But he said that I needed to look younger for it. So I took a break for a month, and lost 10 kilos. That's how I bagged the role," he adds.

"We were in a miniscule world of our own on the sets of Buniyaad. From morning till night, we would be shooting and our lives would revolve around that show. So many memories... I have moved on since then, but it will be unfair to narrate just a few incidents," he continues.

"It was a complete learning experience and I guess all the actors who started with Buniyaad would feel the same."

Most recently, Singh was seen in Aparna Sen's 15 Park Avenue.

Married to actress Anuradha Patel, he has two sons, Siddharth and Aditya. And he has lots of work in hand. He is currently doing two films -- one in Punjabi -- and a television series shot in South Africa.
