Vikas goes left, right and further...

“You are a complete package, handsome and a fabulous actor!” these are the compliments that Vikas Manaktala receives on a day-today basis. From modeling to theatre to TV serials, this Delhite has indeed come a long way in realizing his dreams with ‘Left Right Left’ (Sab).

With aspirations of becoming a scientist as a kid, then sports after having played in the National level for soccer and basket ball. But deep down, Vikas knew that his first love is modeling and he also hoped to enter the world of acting.

This Jat hunk has no qualms in admitting that he is aware of his popularity among women. It’s no wonder then that he gets linked to his co-star Priyanka Bassi who incidentally is also a Delhite. Quiz him about this link up and he brushes it off saying, “That’s not true. We are good friends and that chemistry reflects on screen.” Ask him why girls find him hot and snap comes the answer, “My eyes and my smile.”

Tell him that a majority of the audience watches ‘Left Right Left’ because of Rajeev Khandelval and he shoots back, “One man cannot hold responsibility for people watching a show. In fact, my fans do call me up and tell me that they watch the show for me. It is a team work, a complete package and credit cannot be given to one person.” On a lighter note he adds, “Rajeev is a very friendly and cheerful person. And, of course, he is a good actor too.”
 
This young actor is aiming high and has no desire of doing another serial. He dreams of entering into movies once he is done with ‘Left Right Left’. Ask him who he wishes to work with and he rattles off the best names in the industry, “Sanjay Leela Bansali, Rakesh Omprakash Mehra, Pooja Bhatt.” Time permitting, Vikas also intends to get back to his first love, modeling.
