Short Takes: Manish Wadhwa

I was born on - 23rd April, wearing just a smile

I am- witty, intelligent, sharp and practical

The character "Kaali" in Kohinoor- contributed immensely to my

popularity

TV industry is- my roti, kapda aur makaan

My first crush - in 1990 on my neighbourhood girl

My first date - with the same neighbourhood girl

My first kiss - with the same neighbour

My wife Priyanka is- an understanding housewife

I would like - more politeness in my attitude and behaviour
I could die for - my kids, Ashrit and Vanshika

Most people don't know that- I also dub for Cartoon Network

The sexiest actors on television - Niki Aneja, Sangeeta Ghosh and Shweta Tiwari

Bollywood actors I like- Jaya Bachchan, Rekha, Kajol and Juhi Chawla

If not an actor- I would have been a singer

I am scared of - hypocrites

An honest confession - I am not saying goodbye to television

My first most memorable moment - when I got the Balraj Sahni trophy in 1992 for a play called Sati

My second most memorable moment- when, on my birthday, Jaya Bachchan told a Washington audience that it's my elder son's birthday
