Today, it is Engineers Day. In our country, everyone aspires to be an engineer first and everything else later on. This holds true for these TV actors. They all studied engineering as it was the safest and trendiest thing to do in life. However, they were as confused about engineering after getting their degree. We are not complaining. Some of the most talented actors on TV are engineers by qualification. We guess their eye for detail helps: Also Read - Bigg Boss 17: Ravi Dubey quashes Isha Malviya's claims of Abhishek Kumar being thrown out of Udaariyaan

Manish Raisinghani
A mechanical engineer by profession, Manish enjoyed a successful career as a model before switching on to TV. He is seen as Siddhant Bharadwaj on Sasural Simar Ka. Recently, he was in Cannes to showcase his short film, Ankahee Baatein. He is also a very good photographer.

Varun Kapoor
Loved as Sanskar on Swaragini, he has a degree in Electronics and Telecommunications from Pune’s Sinhagad Engineering College. The actor says he was pretty studious but finally realized that engineering wasn’t his cup of tea. Luckily, he got short-listed for Channel’s V, Humse Hai Life and millions of girls got lucky! The actor says his elder brother is an engineer as well and taking up the stream was the thing to do while growing up.

Harshita Gaur
The feisty Sanjukta from Sadda Haq has done her degree in Electronics and Telecommunications from Amity University, Delhi. She got modelling offers right from her college days.

Aham Sharma
We loved him as Arjun in Mahabharat and Manmarziyan but few know that hottie Aham Sharma completed his engineering from Indore before venturing into the glamour industry.

Roop Durgapal
Currently seen as Natasha in Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi, she holds a B. Tech in Instrumentation and Control Engineering. The lady worked in Infosys for a while before her good looks attracted the attention of talent hunters in the glamour industry.

Tejaswi Prakash Wayagankar
Hailing from a family of engineers, Tejaswi completed her degree in Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering while shooting for Swaragini. The young lady said it her dad’s dream to see her as an engineer and she made it. Juggling shoots and studies was not an easy task but the girl has a lot of determination, you see!

Ravi Dubey
The handsome actor came to Mumbai from Delhi to pursue a degree in Telecom Engineering. Post his studies, he entered into a modelling contest and life changed for him.

Karan V Grover
We simply adore him as the crazy genius Shaan in Bahu Humari Rajnikant but Karan V Grover is a chemical engineer by qualification and actor by passion. He will be soon seen in a Mahesh Bhatt production.

Karthik Jayaram
The South Indian actor has done quite a few films down South but gained popularity with Hindi audiences with his role of Ravaan in Siya Ke Ram.

They says good education is never wasted. This is irrespective of the vocation you choose in life. While they might not have shined as engineers, they did use their skills to improve themselves in life.
