Vipul Gupta is the prospective next best thing on Indian television.
Catch up with the hunk who is beginning to have a fan following in
the very first week.
STAR One is known for coming up with distinctive ideas and diverse
shows, and India Calling is one of them. A new entrant on STAR One,
the show has a youthful feel to it. The story so far has been based
on a girl Chandni, played by Manasi Parekh, who moves to Mumbai in
search of her sister and works in a leading call centre, called India
Calling. Furthermore, the story focuses on her encounter with Aditya
Khanna essayed by Vipul Gupta, who owns the place.
Even before the character makes an entry on the show, the promos
being aired have already created a fan following for Vipul Gupta.
Coming from Delhi, Vipul is not new-fangled to the razzmatazz of
entertainment. A well known model from Delhi, he completed his MBA
and worked for a call centre G E Capital. An ambitious man that he
is, he decided to come to Mumbai to make it big. Apparently, the
industry has welcomed him graciously.
A prominent face in the advertising world, Vipul modelled for a list
of prestigious brands, including Mc Dowels, Indian Oil and Airtel.
However, seems like he always had a strong inclination towards
acting, as simultaneously he was dabbling with theatre.
As far as his first break on television is concerned, he considers
himself lucky, as he did not have to go through the long queues for
auditions. The makers of the show spotted him in the Lakme commercial
and called him for a screen test. He cleared the audition and landed
the role of Drone in K Street Pali Hill, aired on STAR Plus. After
that there was no looking back.
Multi-tasking seems to go well with Vipul, as apart from television,
he is also working in movies. Playing the main lead in the movie
Anjaan, he is excited about his role. The movie is set to release on
25 November.
Talking about his character Aditya Khanna, in India Calling he says,
the character is an outright brat with a heart of gold. His motto in
Aditya's life - if you have it, flaunt it, but do not harm anyone.
As far as the similarities between the character and Vipul are
concerned, he feels since Aditya is a very contemporary character, it
is not difficult to identify with him. Speaking about the way his
career has turned out on television, he sounds pleased. He prefers
doing quality work to a clutter of shows.
As we wind up, we wish him luck and hope that he has a successful
stint with whatever he does in the future and his new show India
Calling does have India calling for more!
