In Bed With Maniesh Paul: “I dream of flying without wings”

Maniesh Paul was born in Mumbai, but grew up in Delhi, finishing his education from the Apeejay School and then, College of Vocational Studies, Delhi University. He came from a family of financial experts who had little to do with films, but Maniesh was a big fan of Amitabh Bachchan. One of his favourite jokes is, “Hum do, humare do, teesra ho toh Mumbai bhej do.” (since he’s the third child.) Maniesh started his career as an RJ, is popular as an anchor on TV, and is a self-confessed sneakerhead. In Delhi to celebrate the new season of Sony TV’s India’s Best Dancer, Maniesh tells us that he recently started his own podcast, presenting heartfelt stories of people from different walks of life.
