His
smooth
voice
and
charming
smile
won
him
millions
of
fans
throughout
the
world.
Having
shot
to
fame
with
Indian
Idol,
this
charmer
definitely
has
a
multi-talented
persona.
From
being
a
dentist
in
Jharkhand,
to
his
recent
movie
Badmaash
Company,
Meiyang
Chang
has
traveled
a
long
way
and
has
done
everything
from
singing
to
anchoring
to
acting,
mesmerizing
audiences
with
every
avatar.
In
a
one-on-one
chat
with
TellyCafe,
Chang
tells
us
all
about
his
upcoming
movie,
his
fundas
of
life,
and
more…
Are
you
following
Indian
Idol?
Yes
I
followed
the
first
three
episodes
but
missed
the
fourth.
I
would
say
Kolkata
threw
up
some
really
good
singers.
They
were
really
a
class
apart
from
the
rest.
Judges
are
also
fun
loving.
Sunidhi
is
a
talented
singer.
Anuji
is
there
of
course.
I
have
also
met
Salim
personally
and
he
certainly
is
a
cool
guy.
He
is
able
to
connect
to
you
through
his
youth
appeal.
I
really
miss
being
on
the
show.
I
totally
enjoyed
the
entire
experience
of
being
associated
with
the
show.
I
do
regret
not
being
a
part
of
it
but
at
the
same
time
I"m
happy
with
the
opportunities
that
have
come
my
way.
Now
that
the
fifth
season
of
Indian
Idol
has
commenced,
is
there
any
message
or
advice
you
would
like
to
give
to
the
new
lot
of
contestants?
I
would
like
to
tell
them
that
apart
from
preparing
yourself
there
are
two
things,
which
when
kept
in
mind
make
everything
else
very
easy.
One
is
to
be
your
self.
Don"t
pretend
to
be
cool
or
somebody
you"re
not.
Second
thing
I
would
suggest
is
to
be
realistic
about
the
whole
thing.
Remember
that
even
if
you
don"t
win,
things
don"t
end
there.
You
have
already
got
a
platform
which
is
very
important!
Badmaash
Company
is
all
set
to
hit
screens
this
May.
Can
you
tell
us
something
about
your
character
in
the
movie?
I"m
playing
the
character
of
Zing,
who
is
from
the
North
East.
He
is
basically
a
happy
go
lucky
fellow.
He
has
plans
and
ambitions,
and
likes
to
do
things
his
own
way.
Zing
is
also
kind
of
a
rebel.
But
he's
the
kind
of
guy
who
can
do
anything
for
his
friends.
He
trusts
them
completely
and
that
is
the
reason
that
when
Shahid
Kapoor"s
character
comes
up
with
a
plan,
Zing
is
the
first
one
to
go
along
with
him.
Like
many
youngsters,
he,
too,
faces
an
identity
crisis.
People
tell
him
he
is
from
China
and
things
like
that.
He
also
suffers
from
alcoholism,
which
may
be
because
of
the
fact
that
he
earns
a
lot
of
money
in
a
very
short
time.
He
has
a
dream
of
owning
a
pub
and
he
gets
a
lot
more
than
that.
Zing
is
a
likable
and
relatable
character.
You"ve
enjoyed
a
different
image
so
far.
How
has
your
character
changed
that?
People
perceive
me
as
a
nice,
cute,
boy
but
the
character
of
Zing
takes
me
out
of
that
perception.
People
will
get
to
see
me
in
a
totally
new
avatar
in
this
film.
Any
other
upcoming
movies?
As
of
now
I
don"t
have
any
upcoming
movies.
The
reason
maybe
that
people
have
only
seen
me
singing
and
anchoring
so
far,
but
they
have
never
seen
me
acting
and
are
not
sure
whether
I"d
be
able
to
do
it.
Hopefully,
after
Badmaash
Company,
they
will
like
my
work
and
offer
me
good
roles.
So
do
you
find
acting
a
viable
career
option
for
yourself?
Yes!
I
would
love
to
take
up
more
acting
projects.
And
I
hope
people
like
me
after
watching
me
act.
I
had
amazing
experience
while
acting
in
this
film
and
am
keen
on
doing
more
films.
How
was
the
experience
working
with
Shahid
and
Anushka?
Apart
from
the
friendliness
we
shared
it
was
also
a
learning
experience
with
Shahid.
You
get
to
see
his
focus
and
dedication
and
you
imbibe
it
in
yourself.
He
had
this
thing
of
doing
his
best
for
the
role
he
played
and
also
helping
out
others
when
needed.
I"ve
really
enjoyed
working
with
him.
For
Anushka
I
would
say
I"m
extremely
fond
of
her.
She"s
an
amazing
and
genuine
human
being.
She
is
a
very
straightforward
and
honest
person.
We
also
share
that
philosophy
of
working
hard
and
at
the
same
time
enjoying
what
you
do.
So
it
was
great
working
with
them.
They
both
have
the
talent
of
being
playful
and
serious
depending
on
the
situation.
From
dentist
to
singer
to
anchor
to
finally
an
actor.
How
has
the
transition
been?
It
has
been
surprisingly
smooth
at
every
stage
I
would
say.
From
anchoring
to
acting
has
been
a
pleasant
transition.
I
did
not
have
any
acting
experience
earlier,
apart
from
the
little
acts
in
school
and
college
plays,
but
I
was
happy
with
the
work
I
had
done.
If
I
would
be
a
dentist
I
might
earn
a
lot
but
my
life
would
be
limited
to
a
cabin
and
meeting
40
people
a
day.
But
what
I"m
doing
now
is
simply
amazing
and
I
would
not
give
that
up
for
absolutely
anything
