It is not every day we get to chat to actors in the Indian television industry because most are occupied with work, perfecting lines, hectic shooting schedules and staying in shape. We have recently contacted Kuldeep Singh, more prominently known as Sri Hari Vishnu on the current hit television series, Vighanharta Ganesh on Sony TV. And to our pleasant surprised he has taken the time to respond and has happily agreed to give you guys some insight on his life and what inspires him. Kuldeep is not just a great actor or talented male model, but he is also one of the sweetest, down to earth people to ever come into the industry! Check out his interview below and drop us your thoughts in the comments box below!

Date of Birth: – 17 January

Star sign: – Capricorn

Favourite food: – Indian (Bhindi & Bharta)

Favourite drink: – Coffee

People who inspire you: – Mother Teresa

Reasons that keep you moving forward: – My commitment towards myself

One thing that people don’t know about you: – I am an open book, I think people know everything about me, as I don’t believe in hiding things.

 

1. Tell us, behind the scenes and out of costume, who is Kuldeep Singh? What are your likes and dislikes?

Aside from playing Vishnu, Kuldeep Singh loves to explore the world around me, I love making new friends. I don’t like people with double faces and who are full of lies.

2. When did you begin acting and what was your inspiration behind it?

I started doing acting in 2014 from the show CID on Sony I was playing Dr Vaibhav in that….. I was not passionate about doing acting I just came into the entertainment world very accidentally. Actually once someone kick my ego/ potential to prove myself in this world so I did and proved it … And I am happy that yes finally I made a small place in this industry…

 

3. You are a model as well, what has so far been your most ‘wow’ moment of your career?

As far as my career is concern my wow moment for me is playing KRISHNA in Vighanharta Ganesh… I’m personally a Krishna lover. When I got chance to play Krishna, I didn’t sleep for a whole night because I wanted to do justice with that role. 

 

4. There are various challenges that one could face as an actor and a model. What would you say has been your most challenging experience? Please take us through how you have overcome it?

Yes that is true, entertainment world is full of competition, as people are so talented and good looking all around, but when I started I used to see well-groomed and polished actors at every audition which initially made me a bit conscious about my looks, but when I decided that I am better than everyone around me, there is no competition for me. As I believe in energies I strongly believe that the universe gives you the exact things which you ask for… So I always see myself as the best and always try to be the best by doing hard work for my characters whatever I got to play…

In my initial days I did many negative characters and I think I did justice to all but I was not aware that my image in television became a negative only. Every one start calling me for doing negative roles and I desperately wanted to come out of that zone, Vighanharta Ganesh gave me that opportunity to change my image… I mean directly from a villain to god and I’m loving playing Lord Vishnu.

 

5. So your current television role is not just an everyday character. You are currently essaying the role of Shri Hari Vishnu in the daily program Vighnaharta Ganesh on Sony Television. Give us some insight on your role? What has been your greatest inspiration behind the role and what would you say has been your greatest challenge in playing the role of the Lord of Dharma and Righteousness?

Lord Vishnu is considered as one of the supreme cosmic power among the Tri Devs, Vishnu is the protector of Brahma’s creation (universe). Before me, Rahul Sharma was playing Vishnu in the same show, but due to some circumstances I came in his place and that became challenging for me to take his place. Everyone on set was comparing me with Rahul, but gradually by God’s grace I made my place in the hearts of Vishnu’s fans.

This is my first mythological show, so initially it was very hard for me to deliver those pure Hindi lines, so I used to mug up the lines and utter in the same way it was written … But now I am more comfortable with that language. But yes playing a complete positive character was a challenge for me.

6. Besides being on screen and in front of the camera, you also enjoy keeping fit, healthy eating and going to the gym. Please do share with us some of your fitness tips and tricks to staying healthy, fit and fabulous?

There is no as such mantra for being fit because every person has different body response towards diet and gymming…. I believe eat healthy and balance your extra calories by doing a regular gym or cardio.

 

Tip: – drink lots of water as it will help you to wash out toxins from the body

Take proper Protein meals as protein is the basic building block of the body.

Take meals on regular intervals

Important tip-: – Please consult a good dietitian/physician before following any diet plan or gym protocols.

 

7. I am sure there are plenty of people out there who are thinking “I need to get in shape,” but they find physically activities to be tiresome on the body or find it difficult to train due to ill health or physical challenges. What words of advice would you gives to a person who isn’t in shape but really wants to get fit?

First of all usually people have myths about being fit, big muscle and abs cannot count as a fit body, for a fit body your immune system should be good.

Yes physical activity is a bit tiresome and we need to go through that only because if there is no pain there will be no gain so to get a fit body we need to push ourselves from the comfort zone.   

For those who really want to get a good physique, first of all forget about easy ways, come out of your comfort zones, make sure that you need to change yourself from the day you think you want to. Eat healthy diet, no junk foods, sleep on time, do proper workout. Hire a good health instructor who will guide you as per your body requirements.

 

8. So besides your work onscreen and time at the gym, I am sure you also have a romantic side to you. What is your idea of an ideal date? And for that matter, your idea of the ideal women?

Ahahahhaha yes I am a romantic guy no doubt in that. I feel romance doesn’t always stick to do romance with some girl/ women … Romance for me is spreading love and happiness among all my fans and friends … The way all my fans loves me, I equally love them. And in terms of my personal romantic life with my girl then I would say my girl only knows weather I am romantic or not . In our hectic schedule of work I hardly got time to show my romantic part to her but I always try whenever I got time

For me, an ideal date is a movie, long drive and cuddles, simple things impress me more than fancy.

Ideal women: – A women who loves me more than I do myself is ideal.

9. Lastly, what are your thoughts on Love in Abundance and my blog?

I really love your ideas on writing about spiritual things and ideas of different people regarding spirituality. I think people who will read your articles or books in future will really love your effort in this direction.

As working for ourselves is an easy job which everyone is doing in their life but living for other is a hard part to play which you are playing and I would say hats off to you. Keep doing this good work and keep growing in life

Message for people who love me:- Nothing is impossible in this world, we just need to tell ourselves that get up and say yes I can do everything, everything means everything.  

Well there you have it guys! Nothing is impossible, work hard, believe in yourself, love yourself, eat health, sleep on time, get healthcare advice before taking on a strenuous activity and don’t be afraid to work your body to lead a healthy style.
