He has also acted in television serials, including the role of Hanuman in the TV serial Jai Veer Hanuman, much like his father did in Ramayan. He has also starred as a super-villain in TV serials like Zaal in Ssshhhh…Koi Hai (2003) and Char Sau Chalis in Karma (2004).
However, he got success in 2009 when he won Bigg Boss Season 3. After winning, it seemed that Vindu’s career might come on be on track but it didn’t happen.
In the year 2013, Vindu’s name got associated with IPL spot-fixing and was arrested by the police. However, at that time the local court had granted him bail.
On the personal front, Vindu got married twice. He was first married to Tabu’s sister and famous actress Farah Naaz but later they divorced, and he subsequently married model Dina Umarova, with whom he has a daughter Amelia.
