Stepping into small screen

The 38-year-old, who began his career as a child artiste with Masoom in 1983, will feature in two episodes of Rishta.com that comes on Sony.

“Yes, I am in the next two episodes of Rishta.com! Faced the camera after long. Hope you all enjoy,” Jugal posted on his Twitter page. His first film as a full-fledged actor was Aa Gale Lag Jaa (1994). Two years later, he featured in Papa Kehte Hai (1996) and then did Yash Raj Films’ multi-starrer Mohabbatein (2000). After that he did cameos in movies like Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Salaam Namaste and Aaja Nachle.

In 2008, Jugal turned to direction with Roadside Romeo and followed it up with Priyanka Chopra and Uday Chopra-starrer Pyaar Impossible. Both his films were produced by YRF and his appearance on Rishta.com, a YRF production venture, indicates his strengthening bond with the Yash Chopra camp. Rishta.com is about a marriage agency run by four friends.
