' fame Manav Kaul recently shared his writing journey with Lucknowites at a literary event held at a cafe in the city. The event was basically an interactive session with the audience, where Manav was asked to tell about the quality he likes about himself – Manav the writer or the actor. "Honestly speaking, most of the people didn’t know that I am a writer too, even the co-actors whom I shared the screen with don’t know about this. When I’m playing a character on screen, I am completely into acting and the same goes with writing. Bahut jaldi bore ho jata hoon ek hi kaam karke," shared Manav. As the session progressed, the audience asked him about his favourite writers, to which Manav replied, "I am a big fan of Kolse,

Vinod Kumar Shukla

. I love their literature and the way they write but I never idealize them as I feel that they are my contemporary whom I’m competing with."

project, the actor replied, "I like movies that connect with the audience. I took a break from Bollywood because I’m not getting the subject I want to work upon. Currently, I’m doing a few films about which I can't tell you much."
The session concluded with fans clicking selfies with Manav and taking his autographs.
