On the other hand, Maniesh elaborated on how they broke their ice. To him, Iqbal came off as a very reserved man initially. However, one time, when Maniesh was humming a very ‘dirty’ Punjabi song on the set of the show, Iqbal ended up singing along with him. Hearing Iqbal singing the next line of the song took Maniesh by absolute surprise, from where the duo instantly kicked it off with each other!

A model during his college days, Iqbal Khan eventually took the usual route of pursuing an acting career in Mumbai. After doing two films, the actor had declined an opportunity to enter the world of TV. However, upon realising that he had no rent funds left, he decided to give it a shot. Only much later, did he realise how big of a deal the show Kaisa Ye Pyar Hai and his rockstar character ‘Angad’ had become!
Ira’s question regarding the most fulfilling thing for them in life, resulted in Iqbal stating how he does not associate the feeling with his work. Although he respects it a lot, Iqbal finds his daughter to be the most fulfilling reality of his life. She makes him want to do good things, he added. On the contrary, comedian-actor Maniesh had a different outlook. He explained how his mother once came to the conclusion that even Amitabh Bachchan looks up to Maniesh after she met BIG B. His mother’s confidence in him and validation made for a moment of realisation that he had made it big.
