“While shooting, there have been scenes in my show where I have kept my face straight because I would modulate my voice in a way that the emotion gets conveyed. That, kind of, brings a breath of fresh air in my scenes and in a way, it has appealed to many. I can say this because people haven’t just complimented my voice but also the way I use it to act,” says the actor, known for TV shows such as Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya and Adhuri Kahaani Hamari.

Laksh also makes sure to eat right so as to make sure nothing affects his voice. “I avoid eating anything sour or drinking anything cold. I do my voice training every day before shoot. It has been over two years that I’ve been training my throat,” he says. “Though I never thought of becoming an RJ, a friend had once suggested as a joke that I can be the next voice for Bigg Boss,” says the actor. Ask him about the offers his voice gets him, and he says, “I do get calls for voiceover, though I usually turn it down.”
