Unlike other actors who claim that they always dream of pursuing acting, Shashank Vyas never thought he would actually become one.
The young guy, who plays the grown-up Jagya on Balika Vadhu, had acted in a few plays while in school and college. "But I had never given acting a serious thought," he says. He took his MBA entrance exams in Ujjain where he belongs, but wasn't getting a college of his choice. "So it was in January 2009 that I came to Mumbai. I gave a lot of auditions and did my share of struggle before the role of Jagya came to me." And no, the thought that Anandi's role in the show was more prominent, was not a deterrent. "If that was the case, then I wouldn't have been here at all," he adds.
And in this little time that he has been shooting for the show, he's become good friends with the grown-up Anandi — Pratyusha Bannerjee. "She's a very nice girl and I'm very fond of her. She's quiet and talkative," he says. Isn't that a contradiction? "Not really," he quips, "Jab bolna chahiye tab chup rehti hai, aur jab chup rehna chahiye, tab bolti hai!"
