Actor Yogendra Vikram Singh is on cloud nine these days. Well, the actor not only got a chance to meet his favourite actress Rekha a while ago, but the two even exchanged some funny banter. “It was Rekha ji who had introduced my track in the show Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin. It was a surprise for me to meet her at the wedding reception of Neil (Bhatt) and Aishwarya (Sharma). The best part of the encounter was that Rekha ji herself recognised me and shared anecdotes from the episodes that she saw. I was completely in awe of her when I saw her and interacted with her,” says Yogendra.

Having been a part of films like Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, Baabarr, NH10, Mirza Juuliet, Trapped, and Saand Ki Aankh, ask Yogendra about his television stint and he says, “I was skeptical about doing TV earlier as I had a lot of misconceptions about the medium. For example, I thought shooting hours are really long in this industry and that the quality of shows is not that great. But then aisa nahi hua when I started doing Ghum Hai...Over these months, I have realised that actually it isn’t so difficult to do television. In fact, the medium with this one show has made me a household name.”

Does he feel that men have lesser screen space on TV as the medium is said to be dominated by women? “I don’t think there is a blanket rule for TV. At the end of the day, it all depends on the script. The issue about screen space can happen on any television. I don’t think much about the screen space and I am happy with my share of screen time in the show,” he says.
