Indian television actor Vijayendra Kumeria strongly believes in ‘first impression’ and that’s the reason, he makes sure that his on-screen and off-screen presence lasts forever. In a quick chat with TMM, he gives a sneak peek of his busy lifestyle.
Vijayendra Kumeria, You have gone for a new look with Naagin4 and looking more stylish than before. What is your style mantra?
Yes, it’s a conscious effort as the character is rich, classy and young. So, I thought I can try a new stylish look. My style mantra is to keep things subtle yet classy.
You have maintained a fantastic physique and six-pack abs. How have you managed to maintain the look?
I eat healthily and sleep well. I don’t visit the gym regularly but do some push-ups, pull-ups and planks when I get time. The idea of fitness is not to have a six-pack abs physique, but a strong core is more important for me.
How important it is for an actor to look good?
It’s very important to look presentable as the first thing noticed about an actor is his looks, then comes the acting skills. One doesn’t need to be drop-dead gorgeous, but yes, you got to look presentable.
What is the benchmark of good looks?
I feel that to look good, one needs to be well-groomed, pleasant and hygienic.
From a cabin crew to a successful tv artist, what has been remarkable in your journey?
I would say the growth has been good. When I started acting, I started at the grass-root level. I have reached here step by step and believe that if the graph is in an upward motion, then things are fine.
With Naagin 4 you are in a higher success bracket. Comment.
Well, it’s a big show and I wouldn’t lie that till date, it has been my career’s biggest show. About how successful I am will depend on the work I get after this.
You are an example of the saying ‘Married man can be attractive too’. How do you react to such a compliment?
I feel happy when I get such compliments. Let me be frank, who doesn’t like compliments??
Who is your inspiration in terms of acting and why?
Off lately, I admire Ranveer Singh’s dedication and the kind of work he is doing. He is really inspiring.
You are a producer too, how do you manage to look into the production and acting simultaneously?
My wife is a big support for me when it comes to production. Plus technology and the internet make things really easy. I am always connected to my team.
Many people find supernatural shows regressive and unrelatable. Comment
They say that but still enjoy watching such shows. They watch because they get entertained and I guess that is our agenda too.
According to you, who is the most stylish actor in the industry and why?
I find Amitabh Bachchan (ji) very stylish and I guess he knows how to look stylish and carry himself.
