@thenodmag Vedang Raina belongs to the new club of handsome young actors in Bollywood today—sharp smile, slick hair, chiselled jawline, boyish charm—the antithesis of the traditional hyper-masculine movie star.
He’s serious for a 24-year-old, thoughtful and earnest—even though something between a smirk and a grin constantly plays on his lips. In all his responses so far, it’s evident he shares only as much as he wants to. It’s almost as if he’s already figured out how much of his private life he’s ready to trade.
A self-confessed homebody, who has spent his coming-of-age years on a movie set, Raina claims he’s actually “the lame one at a party. I like to move and groove a bit, but I am not the life of the party ever. I prefer being by myself and take a lot of time to open up.”

@vedangraina about dealing with fame, his nerdy side, not going to business school, and more.
