'Vishal M. says TV has become more powerful'

Looking back, Vishal started off his entertainment career with Disney Hour on Zee TV way back in 1995 and later went on to do Hip Hip Hurray on the same channel and a Bollywood flick, Ishq Vishq. And currently, he is seen in Rajan Shahi's Kuch Toh Log Kahenge aired on Sony Entertainment. He is enjoying playing Dr Rangnath in his first daily soap. In fact, he recently won an award for his role, 18th Lions Gold Awards for Best Supporting Actor. Vishal is happy and grateful to receive it. "It surely feels great to be recognized for your efforts. And since it was based on public voting, it is even more special to me," he beams.

He is surely a lucky lad to have won an award for his first daily show. But how did he do it? "The secret to my connection with the audiences is that I put a bit of myself in every character that I play. In fact, I would say that 70 percent of it is the real Vishal Malhotra," he smiles. As for the future, Vishal just wants to act well. "I just want to better my level as an actor; I just want to keep growing," ends Vishal.
