He says he is enjoying the new phase in his life as a businessman.

Talking about his new venture, Nandish said in a statement: "After acting, if there's something I've loved, it's been sports and especially cricket. Hence, after Ahmedabad Express when this opportunity came my way, I decided to jump right at it."

Nandish said that acting will remain his first love and he is waiting for a good offer for a fiction TV show.

"Acting, of course, is my first love and I am looking forward to taking up my next fiction project very soon, but BCL will continue on the side.
