Ludhiana boy, Abhinav Shukla is easily the hottest new dude on Television today! Met him on a roadtrip a decade back! But have been a fan since I saw him on Survivor India sometime last year!

Actually had the pleasure of meeting him twice. First time was over a decade back when I was on a road-trip to the Himalaya’s and he was on a similar road-trip with his college buddy (I think). At that time, my impatient riding buddies wanted to just move on and we didn’t quite get the opportunity to connect!

Years later, I ran into him again when I was trekking through the Western Ghats with a different group. That’s when I learnt he was quite the adventurer! He was out there camping with his buddies who I later learnt were TV actors. On this occasion, I was averting my eyes and trying to keep a straight face as Señor Shukla was in a VERY small swimming costume! ?

I don’t watch soaps so I had no clue he was an actor. It was only when I saw him on Survivor India that I realized the lanky “wannabe” biker I met a decade earlier was now a TV star!

He would make the perfect boyfriend! He rides bikes, does photography(although I smell a Nikon ?), enjoys trekking, does DIY stuff! And then, that body!  ? Not sure if he likes jungle-ghooming, but I think I can convert him to that idea! And yeah, first convert him to Canon camp!

Hear from my industry friends he is playing the villain in some jungle film. Now THAT I would love to see! All the best man!
