Vibhav Roy

For Delhi boy Vibhav Roy, who has made his debut in the TV show 'Gustakh Dil', acting was always his first love, which is why, despite working as a CA in Australia, he decided to come back to India to pursue his dream.

"Bachpan se hi acting ka keeda tha. Toh woh toh karna hi tha." Vibhav, who hails from Sarita Vihar in the capital, recalled his days of struggling in Mumbai, and said, "It's very difficult to find a house in Mumbai if you are already struggling. As soon as people come to know that you are a bachelor and on top of that, a struggler, they are a little wary. Delhi mein mere kaafi doston ne ghar le rakha hai, but unhe aisi koi problem nahi aati hai."

Vibhav also told us that for him, the true essence of Delhi lies in its marketplaces. "Humne doston ke saath GK-M Block mein bahut chill maari hua hai. Agreed, that Delhi has historical monuments, but for me, Delhi is all about Hauz Khas, Connaught Place, etc." An alumnus of St Columbus, Vibhav told us that he used to hang out with his friends in CP and Bengali Market. "Words like mastikhor, awaara and fukra would be apt to describe me," he joked.

Gustakh Dil portrays the life of Laajo, a simpleton from a village who is the other woman for her husband Nikhil. The husband continues to be madly in love with his childhood sweetheart Ishana. Starring Sana Sheikh, Vibhav Roy and Parvati Sehgal, the show gives a different twist to a conventional love triangle. Produced by Ravi Ojha, the show also features the versatile and talented Meghana Malik, essaying the role of Barkha, Nikhil's mother. The show will premiere on Life OK starting 5th August, every Monday to Friday at 7.30pm.

Commenting on the launch of the new show, Ajit Thakur, General Manager, Life OK said, "After a successful run with romantic shows like Kaisa Yeh Ishq Hai and Do Dil Ek Jaan, we are now bringing another love story but with a twist. Disruption has always been a key thrust for us at Life OK and with Gustakh Dil we are aiming to bring out the other side of a love triangle. We are confident that people will accept this unique storyline and will appreciate our modest attempt at providing quality entertainment."
Gustakh Dil narrates the tale of a street smart Laajo, who challenges the norms of the village only to land up in unpleasant circumstances. To escape the wrath of her peers from the village, she reluctantly marries Nikhil. Laajo's turbulent journey starts the moment she arrives at Nikhil's home in New Delhi, where she finds out that her husband is madly in love with his childhood sweetheart, Ishana. The story is a portrayal Laajo's struggle to be accepted in a home that discounts her presence. Resilient and strong willed, Laajo continues to be a best friend to her husband.

Will Laajo ever be truly accepted by her in-laws? Why is Lajoo the Other woman in her own marriage?

"I am essaying the character of Ishana, a Delhi based girl who is madly in love with Nikhil (Vibhav Roy). Ishana is a modern and smart girl who believes in living her life to the fullest.

Tell us something about your background?

I am born and brought up in the capital city Delhi. I pursued my degree in C.A (Chartered Accountant) from Melbourne after which I joined IBM in Melbourne, worked there and then decided to quit my job and pursue my passion for acting.

After being a CA what made you take up acting?

I always wanted to become an actor, but my parents were reluctant and agreed on one condition that I should not forget my career for the sake of acting and that's exactly what I did. When I started earning it was then that my parents supported me and to fulfill my passion I came to Mumbai.

Did you struggle?

Oh yes, I did struggle for a year and so but the struggling phase taught me a lot of patience, perseverance. It was lots of hard work.

How did you bag this role?

I happened to go for the auditions at Ravi ojha Productions and I  gave a test shot in the audition after which I was selected and started shooting. It was a dream come true for me as my hard work and sacrifices paid off.

Do you watch television shows?

No, I have never watched television shows, but my parents used to watch. I am a movie buff and love Shah Rukh Khan a lot. Since now I am acting on TV, I have also started watching television shows.

Any particular actor that you idolize?

Well there are many whom I idolize and worship their acting overall.

How is your bonding with your co-stars?

Everyone is very nice and friendly especially Sana Amin Sheikh who is a very senior actor. She helps me a lot while other veteran actors like Meghna Malik too helps me a lot with dialogues and diction.

If faced with a situation in real life would you marry and have an affair with other girl?

No ways! I  will never ever cheat my wife in any way, I am a one woman man.

You have lived in Delhi, Mumbai and Melbourne. What has been your experience in each of these cities?

As I am born and raised in Delhi I am very attached to the city as the city is very different, it has fast moving life and the Punjabis are heart warming. Mumbai is bi-lingual and there are various ways in which people are connected. I find Mumbai slower than Delhi while Melbourne is super fast.

Are your parents happy seeing you onscreen?

Yes they are very happy and are quite supportive towards my acting career.

Tel us something about your attributes?

I am a hard core Delhi boy, mast and loud..
