Vishal Vashishtha on the fear of failure

Vishal Vashishtha opened up about a fear he has overcome as an actor. He said he would often worry about not doing enough during periods when he was not working, even though such breaks gave him time for himself. “The fear of not doing anything or failure. Like, taking time for yourself. Sometimes, you feel like, what am I doing? But this is the only time we get as actors for ourselves,” he said.
