Transitioning from television to films hasn’t been easy for many actors. For Vikram Singh Chauhan, who forayed into television with Qubool Hai, finding his footing in movies has been a long journey. Before he was signed on as the male lead in Pooja Meri Jaan, led by Huma Qureshi and Mrunal Thakur, the actor sat at home for five years.
“Those five years were not easy. When you’ve been part of popular TV shows, there is an expectation that work will continue coming your way. There were periods when I wondered if I should have taken up a project to remain visible. But I’d rather have a difficult journey than a meaningless one,” said the actor.
