TOI: Shashank enjoying stardom

He is better known as Jagya, and Shashank Vyas has left no stone unturned to ensure that he portrays the role to perfection in Balika Vadhuon Colors. And the results are showing. The actor, who was in Vadodara to promote his show, got mobbed wherever he went.

A happy Shashank tells us, "I am enjoying all the attention. I got into acting only after I could not get admission in a good B-school, and never thought I would become so popular in such a short span of time. There have been numerous occasions when I would get pretty late night calls from crazy fans. This was my mother's favorite show and I guess her blessings have gone a long way in ensuring that the audiences have accepted me like this."

With a mischievous smile, he adds, "My only complaint is that even now, young girls don't seem to notice me and it's only 40 plus women who pamper me."

This seemingly harmless guy, blessed with chocolate boy looks, is also a big prankster by his own admission. "I am one of the most mischievous persons around on the sets, and I tease both Anjum Farooki and Pratyusha Banerjee a lot!" he signs off.
