Opening up on his journey from the jet-setting all around the world to acting, Vijayendra revealed, "I have worked as a cabin crew in both domestic and international sectors. I was in Qatar for 2 years and was getting a good salary and the job was a secure one. But I wanted to become an actor and wanted to give it a try. My mother was very reluctant about this, but I convinced her by giving myself a target of one and a half years. If nothing was working I would have left acting. But destiny had a different plan. I started with small roles and then gradually got lead roles." Naagin 4 Promo: Nia Sharma, Jasmin Bhasin and Vijayendra Kumeria's Supernatural Show Starts From 14 December.
He continued, "My shows Shastri Sisters and Udaan gave me meaty roles and the audience have liked my work. Udaan was a life-changing experience for me. The role had multiple layers and the turnaround from a negative to a positive role was liked by the audience. Naagin has contributed to my career graph. The feedback has been amazing."
He also went on to say that he was glad he risked a well-paying job to chase his dreams and says he is glad he took that risk. "I have no regrets of leaving a steady job," Vijayendra concluded, but not before emphasising the fact that one must never give up on their dreams!
