Both SRK and Manish hail from Delhi and apparently their common background helped breaking the ice.
`I met him during the finale of India's Got Talent and on knowing about my acting career plans, he gave me his best wishes and also took a look at some of my upcoming film's posters. Since I'm into gymming and fitness training, he encouraged me to continue doing so.
He also told me to concentrate not only on six-pack abs but also to make sure I develop my leg muscles because we Indians usually tend to neglect that part of our body while exercising,` recalls the actor, who is playing a computer hacker in his debut Hindi film.
As acting tips, Manish reveals that SRK asked him to try to do his best on the big screen. `I will wait till my film releases and then the industry will decide whether I'm good enough to be here,` signs off the actor.
