Vivek Dahiya was branded a ‘TV actor’

In Siddharth Kannan’s podcast, Vivek told, “I worked in TV for about 3 years and then did a reality show ‘Nach Baliye’ with my wife Divyanka. After that I thought I am ready for the big screen. Earlier, I didn’t think I had the capability to carry a film on my shoulder. Why would people come to see Vivek Dahiya? Who is he? But after 3-4 years of earning name, I felt that I am ready now. But when I got ready, I realized that I have been labeled as a ‘TV actor’.

It was advised to sit at home for 3-4 years

Vivek further said, ‘I did not even do so many shows on TV. Whenever I used to go for auditions or meet producers, they would say ‘you have potential but you have done TV, you shouldn’t have done that’. I was told to sit at home for 3-4 years and keep giving auditions. I used to be shortlisted and in the last round, someone from the studio or the producer or the director would think, ‘That’s too TV’
