Manav Gohil, Star of C I D and Fame Gurukul
''I have a nice life and a nice wife. No complaints at all,'' smiles actor Manav Gohil, who you see in C.I.D. (Sony) and the recently premiered Fame Gurukul that he hosts along with Mandira Bedi. A couple of months ago, he tied the knot with actress Sweta Kawatra. ''Life has gotten better in terms of relationships, work, my own self. There have been a few changes of course — for the better. I have become move responsible,'' says Gohil. Besides C.I.D. which is constantly doing well, he now anchors one of the biggest shows — Fame Gurukul (Sony) — which is Gohil's first attempt to play host. ''I haven't done anchoring before. What I also realised is that as an actor you keep doing the same thing every day especially in a daily soap. You start taking yourself for granted. I want to do work that in challenging. I want to do work that gets me going. So I am quite happy with Fame Gurukul,'' says Gohil, who accepts that anchoring is a different ball game. He says that, initially, it was a bit difficult, mainly because as an actor ''you talk to other characters, whereas a host talks to the live audience. So far so good. I would say. I am learning every day. I have done a lot of homework. I have been reading Hindi extensively. Been into theatre... worked really hard. I have a great team to support me and Mandira is very cooperative, friendly and supportive. So it's nice,'' he says.
Fame Gurukul, which hit Sony a short while ago, is a sure shot the actor thinks because of the concept ''which is fabulous. It's a Spanish show, a formated show which has travelled a lot and has been very successful. So I am sure it will work,'' says Gohil who's come a long way from his first appearance in CATS, the three-crime busting woman service telecast on Sony a few years ago.
''When I look back I feel like laughing. I was quite funny then. I can't watch myself. Though I feel quiet proud of myself now,'' he states. As of now life couldn't get better with two good shows on air. Life is hectic and currently the actor isn't thinking of anything else ''I am busy for the next couple of months with these two shows. I don't have time to think about future,'' he says.
