MERI AWAAZ SUNO! Hrishikesh Pandey

Hrishikesh Pandey, last seen as Abhimanyu in CID Special Bureau, now features as Shikhar in the Star Plus daily Viraasat. "The character has shades of grey and even resorts to blackmail," says the actor. "Moreover, I am thrilled to work with Ravi Chopra again. I had featured in his earlier show Kamini Damini on SaharaOne as well."

Hrishikesh also recently did a cameo in the SaharaOne daily Sati, playing the character of Pankaj Desai, Sati's rival lawyer. He has another show lined up but prefers to speak about it only when it happens.
Though hailing from a family with an army background, Hrishikesh began with commercials and music videos. Acting happened with Balaji's Koi Apna Sa, followed by Kahani Terri Merri.

newer avenues: Hrishikesh Pandey

Low-profile TV actor Hrishikesh Pandey, last seen as Abhimanyu in CID Special Bureau and Shikhar in Viraasat, is playing the lead role in Deepti Bhatnagar's new Star Plus show, Shaadi Street.

Says Hrishikesh, who also did a cameo in Sati, "We have finished shooting for the show and this is the first time I'm playing the lead."

Hrishikesh began with modelling and music videos. Acting came his way through Balaji's Koi Apna Sa, followed by Kahani Terri Merri. Hopefully, his Shaadi Street will be the path to newer avenues

Manasi Varma > I am from Mumbai, and I am a Punjabi.

V222 > How did you start your career as actress?
Manasi Varma > First I went to Kishore Namit Kapoor's acting school. Then shot a portfolio and started meeting people. I started going for auditions and finally Balaji selected me for Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii (KGGK). It's my first serial.

Kish > Manasi urf Monalika – are you married?
Manasi Varma > No, I am just 20 years old.

Czx_123_poi > Hope you are fine and fit and Very PRETTY and GORGEOUS as you ever are.
Manasi Varma > Thanks. Yes, I am. It really takes a lot to maintain that.

Lali > Have people really told you that you look like Zeenat Aman? How do you feel about it when you are compared to Zeenat of yore?
Manasi Varma > I feel on top of the world. I feel good because Zeenat Aman is the woman, and I am getting compared to her. It is a big compliment! A lot of people have told me that I look like Zeenat Aman, Isha Koppikar and Nethra Raghuraman.

Kish > Are you in love?? Are you still studying? You are from which college?
Manasi Varma > I am currently doing my BA through correspondence. I was from Mithibai College. No, I am not in love.

Manasi Varma > It didn't help me that much because I was quite young (18) when I participated in the Gladrags contest. It didn't help me much. I had to go and give auditions and people used to see my acting and not what background I was from. But Gladrags was a good learning experience.

She always wanted to be a part of the glam world. So much so that when her teacher asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up, pat came the reply, "Miss India!"

Her fellow-students were amused. Some ridiculed her. But that did not upset her. Meet Manasi Varma, who says she has always believed in herself and not allowed criticism to affect her decisions. "I believe in pursuing my dreams tenaciously," she says. "I have always been interested in singing, dancing and dramatics."

She was born to be an actress, she says confidently. "I remember I would dress up like heroines and drape sarees." But her dreams did not affect her studies. "I was an all-rounder," says Manasi. "Academics are important to me. I will complete my graduation through correspondence since I don't have the time to attend classes. My parents are very particular about it. They have supported my decision to get into acting but they would always want me to complete my education," she adds.

Manasi took up modelling four years ago after which she made her television debut. Apart from Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki and Raat Hone Ko Hai, she recently did an item number in Kkoi Dil Mein Hai. "It was fun. I enjoyed doing the item number. It was a halfday shoot at the beach." And even though she's not opposed to the idea of doing item numbers in movies, she hopes someday she will get a break in movies.

Manasi may come across as a complete extrovert, but she's an introvert. "I'm a perfect mix of beauty and brains," is how she describes herself. But her knight in shining armour is yet to come: "I'm not seeing anyone for have no time."

Manasi Verma

Fav make-out scene (Hindi): Oh my God! I loved Aishwarya Rai and Sanjay Dutt in Shabd.
Fav make-out scene (English): Obviously, Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas in Basic Instinct.
A couple I'd like to see at it: Rajpal Yadav and Aishwarya Rai, they would look so hilarious on screen.

Manasi getting film offers
The 18-year old Manasi Varma AKA Monalica of Balaji Telefilms' Kahanii Ghar Ghar Kii seems to made for bigger things.

Hardly three months old on the small screen, the temptress is getting offers to work on the big screen. And who's calling, you ask. "Well, I can't let that out. I will have to establish myself well in the KGGK before I venture into movies. I have a meaty role on plate and I am not going to throw it away. Movie offers will be plenty in future too. Future is always bright for optimistic people like me," she says. Confidence personified babe, hah! Well, what else can we say?

Lots more next week. Don't forget to tune in for the latest and the hotest news from the small screen. Its me, Vickey Lalwani, signing off. Have a great week and Merry Christmas!
