For Manish, relationships are important.
"I am my mama's boy. I can do anything for her. I believe all my achievements are because of her," he said in a statement.
Talking about "Thapki Pyar Ki", Manish said: "I am doing the show as I wanted to do something which today's youth can connect themselves to. The mother-son relationship that people can see between Jaya Bhattacharya and me in the show is very different. The kind of bond they share, is amazing.
