Maniesh Paul is one of the most popular television show host in the country. He has been a presenter for several reality shows and he is known for his funny and energetic personality. In a recent chat with IANS, Maniesh opened up about his profession and shared that it is not as easy as it seems to an outsider.

He stated, "Hosting is really challenging, I don’t think hosting is easy at all. A lot of people used to think that hosting is all about just going and you have a 30-page script, just read it out and come back home. I never did that from day one. I’ve always tried to go beyond the script.”

Sharing how he easily bonds with contestants of the show, Maniesh said, “I’ve always worked hard on that and I feel it’s my responsibility to add entertainment and fun into it. So, I’ve always done that. I’ve always taken care of the contestants. By the end of the season, I don’t remember any contestant not being in touch with me, all of them are in touch with me because I became family."

Maniesh will soon be seen hosting season 10 of reality show 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' which will also feature Karan Johar and Madhuri Dixit as judges. Talking about them, Paul stated, "I found them very down to earth and grounded with me or contestants or the makers and channel people and I think we must learn this trait from them."
