Speaking of Heroine, he said that it was "a friendly favor" to Bhandarkar and he is not looking for similar roles in the future. "I intend to do films but Heroine was a friendly film for Madhur's sake but that is not the kind of roles I am looking for. I would like to do action, comedy and I am in talks with people at the moment," he said.
As of now, he is doing Colors' Sasural Simar Ka and said that he won’t be able to take any other show at least for a year. "The show is going really well, so I don't think I can take up anything else for another year. I go by directors and producers as I chose to do quality work. I go with people who don't think they are making a daily soap, they regard it as art. I would like to work with such people," Manish said.
In the show he is paired with Balika Vadhu fame Avika Gor and initially people did have a tough time accepting the two as a couple onscreen. Manish on the same said, "There was a lot of resistance from the audience and people in industry. But from that, where people hated the couple, now there is a fanatic fan following. We did our best to convince that age difference does not matter. I think it is all about conviction and we are convincing enough for the audience".
He even added, "I love my work and for me it is like going to school every day. I learn from everyone, every co-actor...there is so much to learn”.
We hope your Bollywood dreams come true soon!
