HOW I TAKE MY COFFEE
WITH VIKAASH PATTNI
V
ikaash, 27, is a radio presenter
at East FM who’s been hosting
for about 3 years now. He’s
also an actor who’s appeared
in shows like Prem, Mr and Mrs
Singh and Inspekta Mwala. If I had to pick
one phrase to describe him, it would be
‘super funny’.
How do you take your coffee?
I like a nice latte.
Go-to pastry?
Tiramisu or black forest cake.
What’s your morning routine?
Since I do the breakfast show, I wake up
at 4:00 am, play a few games, check my
social media and show up to work by about
5:00 am, after which my co-host and I prep
for the show. It’s not really scripted as we
have good chemistry and generally like to
be spontaneous. I also like to have some
coffee to get me started.
Have you ever said something you regret
on radio?
So many times! I think I almost gave up my
bank account once! Sometimes you forget
44.
that there’s an audience and think that
you’re only speaking to this one person.
You end up uttering things that make you
wish your boss didn’t actually tune in that
morning!
How did you get the job?
I first auditioned about 5 years ago and got
turned down a few times. I was told I didn’t
even have a voice for radio. I’m however
good at doing impressions of Bollywood
actors (and a few from Hollywood. His
Sylvester Stallone impression is pretty
solid) so one time a friend called me to
go do voice over for a commercial. They
eventually never used it, but that’s how
East FM noticed me.
What’s the best part about your job?
Going to the office in Pajamas is number
one! People also seem to remember me
when they want concert tickets which is
quite interesting.
Parting shot?
Cast me in your movies! And if you happen
to have any surplus money, I can give you
my bank account! (Laughs).
