How Yana, Kalki learnt Hindi!

Vikas Kumar is better recognised as Inspector Deshmukh of Kotey Sikkey on Sony Entertainment Television. But we don't know that this actor is also a language trainer for many Bollywood actors.

An MBA graduate, Kumar worked in theatre under veteran Barry John to try his luck in acting. A lucky break got him his first job as a voice coach for the Hollywood film One Night With The King, which was filmed in Rajasthan.

"I had no experience but I'd always been confident of my language and diction," Kumar says. "I trained around 40 Indian actors to speak in a British accent."

After that, he started getting more work, and even held personal language classes for actors. Some of the actors he has trained include Vidya Balan, Kalki Kochein, Jacqueline Fernandez, Arshad Warsi, model Amrit Maghera, Yana Gupta, Shenaz Treasurywala, Rajat Barmecha, and model-actor Sahil Shroff.

He takes us through some of his experiences.
