Actor-model Vijay Pushkar, who is making his OTT debut soon with "Splitends", has a very strong opinion about being successful in the industry. He said, "Success in the industry is the right mix of hard work and luck and the only way up is to work hard and be patient."

"Be it any industry, to be successful, we need to be patient enough and always be ready to embrace the changes. It also requires us to mold ourselves as per society. I believe I possess these qualities and consider them to be my strengths," he added.

The young actor also believes that becoming an actor is tough in today's time, but added, "The most challenging part is to find the right opportunity and the right set of people who acknowledge your potential."

When asked for his opinion on actors getting typecast easily, he said, "If stories and characters demand me to play certain kinds of roles then I would love to portray them. I would love to do roles that have a more human connection and have a resemblance to real life, so I can portray different human emotions with different characters through simple inspiring stories."

"If your audience starts liking you in a particular role or character and similar story, then there is no harm in playing similar roles. It always depends on the story and you should always fit into that character," Pratick added.
