Vipul Gupta (aka Aditya
of India Calling fame) marks his return to TV with Zee Next’s
Pyar,
Ishq aur Mohabbat. The actor, whose last show Four
didn’t quite blossom, doesn’t have any insecurity regarding his career.
“I have become very choosy as I’m keeping an eye on Bollywood. Besides,
I don’t need serials to earn money now.” says Vipul With
Bollywood dreams in his sight, what’s the reason for doing a TV show? Vipul replies
“I liked the concept of the show and secondly it will wind up in 64 episodes,
which will not take much of my time. However, I want to clear that I never said
that TV is not good. It definitely is the strongest medium as it gives instant
popularity.” Speaking on his character Vipul says “I play Manav,
an NRI who returns to India. My character is similar to William Darcy of Bride
and Prejudice. Obviously, just add more masala to it. It definitely feels good
to play pewit where all three girls come to me. Usually, in most TV shows, the
men end up marrying the lead protagonist but I’m lucky to have three girls root
for me. I’m really looking forward for the show to go on air.” With
Vipul not too keen on doing more TV shows, has Bollywood opened its doors for
him? The actor comes up with a clichéd reply, “Well, I have been meeting
few big people. However, nothing has been finalised yet but I’m hoping that soon
something good will materialise. That’s the reason for doing just one show at
a time as I don’t want to over expose myself.” We don’t know about
over exposure but Vipul surely has something to fall back upon incase his Bollywood
dreams don’t materialise.
