Ok Manish, you are such a senior talent from Uttarakhand. Tell us about the shows you have choreographed or show you might have performed as a model or as an actor.
Being a Model and the Managing director of MRMI (Modern Recreation Media Institute), I have performed a number of ramp shows. Organized and choreographed (along with Aakanksha the well known Choreographer, Model and Dancer). Many ramp shows which include Mr & Ms. Uttaranchal 03 – 04 and 04 -05. Shows for NIHM, Paridhaan Utsaav, DSOI (army), Fighting Fourteen, etc. Even done many dance shows with Rhythm Fine Arts.
Manish you are into this field for so long. Tell us about your achievements and recognition.
Besides winning titles, my experience of work has brought me from a small town boy to a Dream city, Mumbai, is in itself a very great achievement. I have gained knowledge, recognition and I am just a step away from my dream.
What all titles you have won till now in modeling ?
I have won the title of FIRST Mr. Uttaranchal 02 – 03 and Mr. North India 02 – 03.
Oh! so you are First Mr. Uttaranchal, good. Manish tell us how your family members and your friends take you now after winning such titles.
Being a small town boy where people do not even dream of such achievements, it is a matter of pride for my family and friends. After winning the title of Mr. North India my interview was published in all the local newspapers and also broadcasted in Doordarshan which was not only an achievement for me and my family, but a matter of pride and fame for my state.
As a model what you think is missing in Uttarakhand in terms of modeling?
"Nobody is perfect", as the saying goes, lots of things are missing in terms of modeling in Uttarakhand. Lack of professionalism, sincerity confidence and the urge to learn are the main hindrances. I also feel there are no institutes and agencies to promote models. There are no fashion photographers, designers, choreographers or rather I should be saying there is no team work. Being a model myself I wanted to help my co models and with this intention I started an institute MRMI (Modern Recreation Media Institute). We promoted our models to North India level. At present I am working to establish my career and in the future I would very much like to re-establish my institute to promote my State in this field.
Tell us about the exercises you do in gym ?
When I talk about workout, firstly I would like to mention my first gym coach Mr. Pushpendra Dabral (owner of Bulls & Pumping Iron gym, Dehradun) who has taught me many fitness regimes required to maintain a good physique. Being very particular about my exercise I go to the gym everyday. I do cardio along with abs and weight training exercises alternately.
Any plans in working in serials or in movies or already worked?
Before coming to Mumbai I have performed with ONGC and Vatayan theatre group and a small role in a movie ”Pyaar zindagi hai” (K.C.Bokadia production ) I have acted in a Telefilm as a lead directed by Surendra Bhandari and performed in a video album ( Khawbon Mein , singer Jojo and Sonali Vajpai ) directed by Mukesh Dhasmana. Worked as an Executive Producer for Garwali movie Meri Pyaari Boi. And also working as assistant director for many projects with Shristi Art & Comunication.
Manish, you are in Mumbai since 2006, tell us your experience.
I am in Mumbai since 2006. During this period I have worked in serials , "Johnny Ala Re" for Zee T.V, "Kahaani Shuru, Love Guru Ki" for Zee Smile, "Left Right Left" for Sab T.V. , "Mahabharat" for 9X, "Pehchaan" for Doordarshan, "Sambhav Kya" for 9X , and now working in Ganesh Leela for Sahara One. Done ad film for ICICI Bank, Union Bank of India, Join Indian Army, etc. Done promo for serial "Apne" on Star T.V. Worked in a feature film 'Hale Dil". Performed in a video album "Mahe Ru" and also working as a freelance assistant director.
What would you like to say to those girls and boys who want to be a model but doesn’t know how to start?
My advise to all boys and girls who want to become models is that please do not consider this field to be only glamorous .This field requires belief in oneself and the willingness to accept challenges. Be confident and consider things from every angle to make it happen. Keep trying no matter how hard it seems because Practice makes Perfect. Don't give up, zero in on your target and go for it.
