Television actor Vibhav Roy, known for shows like Gustakh Dil and Shaitani Rasmein, has revealed he is a qualified chartered accountant. He graduated from Monash University, worked in Australia, and returned to India to pursue acting. Roy said he chose acting to avoid living with the question 'What if?' He played Itaat Khan in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat and also appeared in the film Lashtam Pashtam.
Roy described the decision as choosing a path that feeds the soul over one that feeds the kitchen. He acknowledged that if he had stayed in finance, practicality would have guided his career. The actor was last seen in the first season of Shaitani Rasmein in 2024.
The popular narrative that chasing your passion always pays off ignores the thousands who never make it. Vibhav Roy's story is a rare exception, not a rule. For every actor who left a steady career, countless others struggle in obscurity. The real test is not about having a fallback but whether the risk was worth the outcome. Would he still feel successful if acting had not clicked?
