Exclusive! ‘Ankit Has A Small Circle Of Friends And He Takes His Time’, Vikas Grover On BB16 Contestant Ankit Gupta

Vikas Grover who is a popular face on television has portrayed many kinds of roles in the industry. He won hearts for his stint in Aladdin.

He got in touch with us exclusively where he talked about his upcoming projects, gave a sneak peek into his professional life, spoke about his good friend Ankit Gupta who is currently in the Bigg Boss house, and more.

What are your criteria when it comes to accepting a project?

Before taking up any project, I make sure the character of the show interests me and the concept of the show. I make sure I ask for a character brief and how that character will be growing in the show. I make sure the character entices the audience and keeps them engaged.

What is your favorite character that you’ve played till now?

I have 2-3 characters that are closer to my heart. There’s one that I played in Beintehaa where I played Rizwan, in Suhaani Si Ek Ladki I played the character of Aditya as well as Gulbdan character in Aladdin. But the one I played in Aladdin is surely closer to my heart as I went on to play it for two long years.

You’ve mentioned you were in Aladdin, do you prefer shows that are shot on a Chromakey screen or would you choose daily soaps?

As I said it all depends on my character for me. Whether it is Aladdin or daily soap, the character should be intriguing. Even when I shooting for Mahabali Hanuman, I played Naradmuni and obviously, it was shot in Chroma, and boy it was fun.

Do you now like to venture into reality shows?

I mean I would like to do Bigg Boss, Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa, and Khatron Ke Khiladi. I would not mind trying my hands on some reality shows.

Talking about this season’s Bigg Boss, are you following this season?

I couldn’t catch up with this season much due to my prior commitments. But I do have my gym buddy in the house Ankit. He and I would go to the gym together.

If you were to enter the show, what advice would you give Ankit?

I wish he opens up a little more and take his stand like everyone else. In all fairness, though he is a little reserved and keeps to himself. I’m guessing he is figuring out the game and everyone.
