Ankit Gupta on taking a break
Recalling his journey, Ankit shares how he had self-doubt. He says, “So after I got here to Bombay, I used to be like fully charged and pumped up, I believed, ‘Oh, as soon as I come here, I’ll be a star.’ But after I got here here and I actually felt like everybody around me was so good looking and so talented. For a very long time, I didn’t get any work. Then I did Balika Vadhu and realized that ‘perhaps acting will not be my thing.’ So I ended acting and began doing ads. Then suddenly Sadda Haq happened. After that, every thing modified. Then there was a break from 2018 to 2020. And that was the time after I fell things weren’t going right. In 2018, I finished my show on Star Bharat.”
He further shares how his projects didn’t take off and even a movie was shelved. “During those two years I signed 4 shows, one film, and two web shows, but nothing took off. I remember, I went to Ranchi for my film shoot and was there for every week. However the shoot didn’t start. Finally, one in every of my production guys got here and said, ‘Bro, I want to check with you.’ That was the moment I believed something’s incorrect. So he said that the producer and investors had run away, and so, we needed to stop the image. So at the moment, I understood that whatever is coming, I should take it. Possibly from 2021 till now, with that mindset I had been working with. I didn’t take a break. But now, now’s the time and I actually feel that physically, emotionally, and mentally, I should take a break”, said Ankit.
