Shravan Reddy has worked in numerous TV shows such as Jersey No. 10, Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya (Season 1), MTV Splitsvilla, and many others. But he had to take a break from acting for almost about four years after he met with an accident. It was in 2013 when he returned to the small screen industry with the show Yeh Hai Aashiqui that was aired on Bindaas. Besides these TV shows he was also a part of the celebrity cricket team Chennai Swaggers on Box Cricket League season 2. But did you know he was called a Virat Kohli look alike? In an interview, the TV actor has said, “I Like When People Say I Look like Him”. MX Player's Thinkistan-Idea Jiska, India Uska Review: Shravan Reddy and Naveen Kasturia are the Only Saving Grace of This Otherwise Amateurish Series.

In an interview to Bombay Times, Shravan Reddy stated on how commoners have mistaken him for Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli. But Shravan reveals how he enjoys all the attention. About it he was quoted saying, “Virat Kohli is my second favourite as I am a huge Mahendra Singh Dhoni fan. But I like when people say I look a lot like Virat. Once I was attending a friend’s birthday party when one gentleman approached me and asked “When did you return from Malaysia?” I was taken aback and told him I was not in Malaysia recently. He was shocked and asked, “Aren’t you Virat Kohli?” I was shooting for Jersey No.10 then and India had just won the Under-19 World Cup in Malaysia under Virat’s leadership. That was the first time someone told me that I look like Virat. Today, I get that a lot from people and I take it as a compliment.”

Shravan Reddy also mentioned he is interested to make Tollywood debut if he is offered a good role. He also confessed his goal was to become a film star and not a TV actor. Well, we’ll have to wait and watch if Shravan gets a good role in Bollywood or Tollywood anytime soon. Stay tuned for further updates!
