Raqesh Vashisth (born Rakesh Bapat) is an Indian actor and model.[2] He was the runner up in the 1999 Grasim Mr. India contest, and first runners-up at the Mr Intercontinental.[3] He was in television commercials for Colgate and Wrigley's gum.[3] He played Aditya in the show Maryada: Lekin Kab Tak?. His advertisement roles led to Bollywood film roles, starting with the movie Tum Bin in 2001 and including Dil Vil Pyar Vyar and Koi Mere Dil Mein Hai. However, the movies he featured in were not commercially successful or were not released at all.[3] He made his television debut in the serial Saat Phere.[3] He played Aditya in Maryada: Lekin Kab Tak?, Rohan Mishra in Hongey Judaa Na Hum and Shlok in Seven. Vashisth replaced Karan Singh Grover in Qubool Hai in January 2014, but did not continue with that series when it made a time leap in early 2014.[4]

It was reported that Vashishth is unprofessional and arrogant, Times of India reported the following, "Even the lesser- known actors can leave you high and dry... The latest to throw a fit ever since they made their relationship public are Raqesh Vashisth and sweetheart Riddhi Dogra. The two actors have started showing the ugly side of stardom to the cast and crew of their show, Maryada.... The show faces the telecast trouble due to their unprofessional behaviour. And that's not about it, if things don't happen as per their whims and fancies, they stage a walk out together...Without giving a second thought about the telecast issue..."[5]
