His name is Manish Dayal, he’s low-key starred on tons of shows, and he’ll be your new rom-com dreamboat in Netflix’s Holidate. 

Here are a few things he’s said: 

Always the Quiet Ones

“People who trust themselves are simpler, and I’m drawn to that…people who don’t try too hard or overdo things. There’s something really appealing to me in what’s clean, simple, and present.”

Do You Even Go Here?

So, you’re appearing in Holidate. What’s your fave rom-com? “I’d say my favorite rom-com is Holidate!”

Absolutely not. You can’t name your own movie.

“One movie I dug was Late Night. I thought it was terrific.”

Still not really a rom-com, but fine, we’ll let it slide.

Romance Overload 

“My wife is a lover of Bollywood. I reenacted a scene from her favorite movie of all time, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and that’s how I proposed. In the scene, there’s this gazebo and it’s raining. I had my cousin hiding in a bush filming it. He put rose petals around and really hooked it up. It was a very memorable and very corny experience.”
