Here’s another Ranbir. Lover boy with the chocolate hero looks. So, is he the next romantic hero on the small screen aka Ranbir Kapoor? You bet.

Says Vinay about his title role in the serial Ranbir Rano (on Zee), “My character Ranbir Singh is detached from the world of poverty and misery. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he follows what his heart tells him. He only stops to listen to his  father and his Dadiji who dotes on him.”

A commerce student Vinay always wanted to be in front of the camera, thanks to his experience as a child artiste in Main Khiladi Tu Anari and a telefilm named Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Yeh.

“I finished my graduation in Commerce. I wanted to face the camera so  I enrolled myself in the Kishore Namit Kapoor institute and started going for auditions. The Zee people noticed me on some hoarding and I got selected,” he explains.

So what about the silver screen rather than the small screen; has he never given it a thought?

“I have been told by several people to try my luck in films after a few years when I will look a little more mature. And I think television is great to start a career,” says the 22-year-old actor.

So is the single guy ready to mingle? “I want to concentrate on my work now. But you never know,” he quips.
