Tellybuzz earlier reported about Vikas Kumar aka Inspector Damodar Deshmukh of Khhote Sikkey, being an actor and a language trainer for stars like Arshad Warsi and Vidya Balan.And the latest we hear is, Vikas Kumar has found his new student in Yana Gupta.

A source says "After proving herself as a great dancer through Sony TV's Jhalak Dikhla Jaa, Yana is now trying her hands on learning Hindi from Vikas Kumar."

Therefore we contacted Vikas Kumar and he was happy to have Yana as his student and he says, "Teaching anyone a new language is not easy. Since Yana has been around, she does have a hold on Hindi and did understand the language when I met her. Yana is a thorough professional and she likes working methodically. Therefore, whenever I give her handouts and homework, She completes it on time even under her busy schedule."

Talking more on teaching Yana, Vikas has to say, "Teaching Yana is a lot of fun because she is truly passionate about India and the people and Hindi language. She actually regrets not having learnt Hindi properly all these years. Though she is a non Indian, her heart beats for India. As a trainer, it really helps me a lot  when a student shows genuine enthusiasm towards what you have to teach."

We contacted Yana to know about her learning experience under Vikas Kumar and she says, "Vikas is a brilliant teacher and it is a pleasure learning under him. The best thing about him is that he is very passionate about what he is doing and he cares for the language. We cannot actually get away with any pronunciation or even a small mistake, because he is really particular about it."

Well Yana, you have proved to be a good student!
