It takes two to lounge
Hiten Tejwani and wife Gauri Pradhan, who until a while ago were neck deep in acting schedules, have found a new passion now. The couple, for the first time, will be launching a new lounge named Barcode 053.
For quite a long time they were thinking of doing something different from acting and television. “Gauri was wanting to do something different for long. She had a lot of ideas and such things take a lot of time to set up. Even I was busy with my prior serial commitments. But now I’m glad that it’s finally happening,” says the supportive husband Hiten.
Speaking about her expansion plans, he says, “We are also planning to initiate it in Pune and Bengaluru in the future.” Hiten says that Gauri is a good interior designer and she has involved herself deeply in creating the lounge. “It has been very hectic and busy for her, but it’s worth it,” he says.
Hiten himself has been keeping away from TV offers, in spite of a lot of them coming his way. “I am doing only four serials, because the new business will need my time and attention,” says the actor.
They are targeting the young crowd aged between 30 and 40. “The place will serve mostly Italian cuisine and a variety of drinks. We’ll also have kebabs, tandoori and even burgers,” he says.
Apart from the new venture, Gauri and Hiten are enjoying themselves with their twins Neevan and Kathya. “I have a boy and girl together which is like a full-house now,” says Hiten.
