He personally likes doing the Salsa,  having earlier learnt this dance  form and is very much inspired by actor and legend Amitabh Bachchan.

With regard to how acting has been a learning experience for him he shared to say, “Key things that I’ve acquired from television are command over my language , diction, and the aptitude for acting. I feel everyone should be proud of their mother tongue.”

Presently Mohit is just concentrating on his role as an anchor and not looking out for any other projects . He also hopes to  get the support of his fans who accepted and liked him in his past roles in the daily soaps.

Mohit started his career in this industry without any reference but only through sheer talent. Hence he avers , “To become  an actor, confidence and passion for your work is more important than any kind of reference. If you are willing to pursue a certain job / role, work on it and you will get it.” “What is  important for me is to work and I don’t want to face any kind of pause in it, may it be acting in television , films, or anchoring and  I am ready to take it,” he concluded.
