Actor Vedant Sinha, who will be seen in Co-Ed and was last seen in The Family Man Season 3, opens up about his journey, his character, and the experiences that shaped him both personally and professionally. Speaking with honesty and warmth, Vedant reflects on the show, the people he worked with, and the memories it brought back from his own school life.
Talking about the audience reaction to Co-Ed, Vedant shares that the feedback has been extremely encouraging. Friends, family, and those who have followed his journey closely have reached out to tell him how deeply they connected with his performance. He feels grateful that the show allowed him to explore a broader emotional range as an actor, crediting director Saqib Pandor and writer Girish Jodhwani for trusting him with such depth.
Vedant essays the role of Nikhil, a character he describes as one of the most distinctive parts he has played so far. “Nikhil is a class topper, but he also has a stammer that intensifies when he is anxious or scared,” he explains. Interestingly, the stammer fades when the character feels safe and understood. Nikhil’s soft-spoken, timid, and gentle nature made the role both challenging and rewarding, pushing Vedant to explore a new emotional space.
Calling his experience on Co-Ed “magical,” Vedant says the show has given him memories he will cherish for life. He shares a strong bond with his on-screen twin, Adrija Sinha, whom he describes as a phenomenal performer. He also speaks fondly of his friendships with Het Thakkar, Stuti, Gargi, Jiya, Hiten, Yudhvir, and Aarush. “They are extremely talented and even better human beings,” he says, adding that these bonds have grown stronger over the years.
When asked to choose between The Family Man and Co-Ed, Vedant admits it is impossible. While The Family Manmarked his debut and brought him early recognition, Co-Ed connected with him on a deeply personal level. According to him, both projects played an important role in shaping his growth as an actor.
Vedant also speaks with great respect about working alongside Varun Badola and Rajeshwari Sachdev. He describes them as kind, grounded, and generous mentors who treated the younger cast like family. From Varun Badola, Vedant learned the power of restraint and subtle performance, while Rajeshwari Sachdev taught him how to express emotions with honesty and depth.
School life, Vedant says, remains close to his heart. Having studied in a co-ed environment, he remembers school as a place that helped him escape academic pressure and everyday stress. His friends were his emotional support system. “You realise these moments won’t come back, so you live them fully,” he shares.
