Actor Manish Naggdev says that it was a dance performance at a Ganpati festival in his locality that made him realise that he wanted to become an actor. Talking about how it all began, he says, “I would say dancing, I remember dancing to SRK’s song Badshah o Badshah in my society’s Ganpati function and I won the first prize. On that day, I tasted fame and admiration of my neighbours, friends and close people. I became the star of my area, then I kept dancing a lot in all the forthcoming Ganpati festivals, and college festivals. Sab mujhe Badshah badsha karke bulate and I used to really love it, almost everyone around me used to give me so much attention. Actually, Chembur, the place I belong to, made me a star, an actor. After getting a little famous, I focused on getting into TV, learned new skills, took a professional acting course, and here I am.”
