'God often speaks directly into your mind if you will set aside the time to pray, and wait for his answer', Vishal's wish of becoming an actor was shortly fulfilled.

When Vishal was in Bombay (Mumbai) for one of the events on which he was working for his company, he was randomly approached by a lady from Balaji Telefilms. At a glance, the latter saw that Vishal has all the attributes to become an actor; good look, charisma, well-spoken, talented and the list goes on, she informed Vishal that she was auditioning for a show and would like him to come and audition it.

Being new to the City and confused about whether he should go or not, Vishal called his mother to ask her opinion. When his mum happily said that he should try his luck and go for it, Vishal confidently went there, auditioned for the required role and just within a few days he got a second call for a look test followed by a third one where he was told he's on for the show.

The page has just been turned in Vishal's life! New Beginning,

New Destination.. Vishal is now officially an actor!
