Film industry expects the bulk of hard work and pinch of luck: Actor Vivek Singh
Acting is one of the most sought after careers in the world. Thousands of people try their luck on screen daily to make a life out of it. But only few remain here and make their way. This industry is also one which expects sheer hard work and slight bit of luck along with that. Because after playing their role it all depends on the receivers to decide their fate. Film industry is not a bed of roses. There are people who struggled years together to get a single small role to appear on screen. But if you’re strong and smart enough to embrace the small opportunity and give your complete self in your performance, you’ll be loved by the audience.
Vivek Singh is a well-known artist in addition to being an influential person and a real estate adviser. This actor from Gurugram, who is 30 years old, has been in the popular online series The Family Man alongside the likes of Manoj Bajpayee and other notable actors and actresses. In addition to that, he has been in a great number of other online series. Yet, his road has not been a smooth one. In order for him to secure even a single job in the sector, he had to go through a lot of trouble. Since 2016, Vivek has been actively pursuing a career in the acting industry. But, the commencement of this had already gotten off to a strong start in 2012 when he was given the title of Mr. Gifted in the Mr. North India competition. In addition to that, he was highlighted on the cover of a prominent talent publication. Because of this, he gravitated towards working in this exciting business. Many prominent production firms in Mumbai, such as Vidhu Vinod Chopra Productions and Shobha Dey Productions, as well as others, invited him to audition for roles in their upcoming films.
Vivek, on the other hand, came from a very modest background, and none of his family members had any involvement in the business. When he was invited to travel down to Mumbai from Gurugram for employment, this certainly caused him to think twice about making the move. In addition to this, he did not benefit from the assistance of his parents in any way. Hence, he was unsure about whether or not he should pursue acting as a career, and he was unaware of the manner in which one might undertake this endeavour and construct a life around it. As a result, he was unable to convince his parents. Because of this, he was unable to attend meetings or auditions at the time, which resulted in his missing a number of possibilities to perform.
Yet, the desire to make it big on the silver screen never left him, and he was gearing up in his head to make a significant advance in the not-too-distant future. Vivek ultimately made the decision to pursue his passion in 2016, after he had already completed his MBA. Thus, he decided to enrol in an acting class as his first step. In later years, he relocated to Mumbai with the hope of landing an acting role there. Even though he was sure in his abilities and aptitude, it was difficult for him to really have a go at it. At work, he was subjected to several humiliations and difficulties as well. It would be revealed to him that he has been chosen to appear in specific advertising and webseries. When he went to the shooting, however, he was unable to gain a chance to participate. He was met with a great deal of opposition. Nonetheless, he did not give up his tenacity and will to succeed.
The cost of living is quite high in metropolitan cities like Mumbai. When your wages are not sufficient to cover all of your expenses, life may be a real struggle. Vivek was having severe mental and emotional issues, and he also did not have any means of financial support. The Covid 19 epidemic, in the meanwhile, looked to be a smack in the face for his existence. The city was completely deserted at that time. Even the rent for his flat was too much for him to afford there. Because he was living by himself in this location while they were in another, his parents shared his fear of his illness.
During those lonely days, he found a method to pass the time by producing material for social media, which at the time was becoming increasingly popular. His Instagram account, which had more than 195000 followers, was hacked, however, which was his unlucky turn of events. He was on the verge of complete collapse. Nonetheless, he did not give up trying. He established a second account and immediately began communicating his ideas, as well as his experience, with other users. He rose to prominence over time as a recognised figure on many social media platforms. It wasn't long before others took notice of him. And at the same time, his interests were shifting, he also started following a spiritual path. He began disseminating the same ideas to his audience, which now numbers more than 91000 people, via his account.
He had to put in a lot of effort, but eventually it started paying off. After everything returned to normal around the world, the movie business was finally able to reopen its doors to the public. Vivek began giving auditions again. He was fortunate enough to be cast in the popular web series The Family Man in the role of a minor character, which gave him the opportunity to appear on film with talented performers such as Manoj Bajpayee. Although though his character in the webseries was only a person who drove a little SUV, he played the part so effectively that it opened the door for him to play a wide variety of other roles in other webseries as well.
Vivek has gained a lot of knowledge as a result of his tenacious struggle in the film industry. Also, he has been active in the field of social media influencer work. In addition to this, he discusses the significance of spirituality in one's life and encourages others to walk in that direction. In addition to this, he has developed two courses on the topic that can be found on Udemy.com under the titles "Spirituality & Self Development" and "Higher Consciousness." Udemy is an online learning platform that offers a large number of courses.
Moreover, Vivek is the proprietor of Nikumbh Estate, a real estate consultancy. Now, he makes his home in Gurugram, but he commutes to Mumbai for work on a fairly regular basis. In the not-too-distant future, he intends to make his home in Mumbai.
According to him, the only two things necessary to achieve success in life are unwavering faith in one's own capabilities and the patience to go along with it. The difficulties and challenges we face are just transitory, but the victories we achieve against them will live on in our memories forever. He encourages you to never give up hope in your abilities and to keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Constantly be grateful to God and praise him for everything you have in your life. This will show that your gratitude is genuine.
