Vipin Sharma is one of the most gem actors Bollywood has. He started his journey in 1996 with the debut film Krishna. However his real fame came when he featured in Aamir Khans Taare Zameen Par as Darsheel Safarys father. The role clicked with the audience and the actor received much love after that. After TZP a door of opportunities opened for him. Following this he featured in critically and commercially successful hits such as Salman Khan-starrer Kick Anurag Kashyaps Gangs of Wasseypur Akshay Kumars Special 26 and Irrfan Khans Paan Singh Tomar. However while today Vipins life seems all successful there was a time when in the initial phase of his career he had to suffer a lot. The actor in a recent interview opened up about his career struggles before he got the big roles. Sharma started his journey with Doordarshans classic series Bharat Ek Khoj in 1989. He revealed that he had once quit acting and moved to Canada but his life took a turn after he attended an acting workshop there. He told The Lallantop After attending the workshop in Canada I realised that there is nothing else in my life except acting and I can’t do anything else. So I threw all my belongings on the street in Toronto and bought a one-way ticket back to India. When he was asked why he chose to leave India he said I was a highly dissatisfied person and I used to argue a lot. I did not like giving a bribe to reserve seats on a train I did not like the overall surroundings and I had a lot of anger within me because I used to wonder why our society was like this and having grown up in a slum made it very difficult. I was a rebellious person and I once pulled the emergency chain on a train and I was made to get down at a random station at night. They said If you can’t afford 10 rupees for a sleeper berth then you don’t deserve to travel by the train. The actor revealed that in order to meet his daily needs he also worked as an assistant chef in different restaurants in Canada. He added that despite being a vegetarian he worked as a butcher and cut meat. I even worked in an Irish restaurant where I had to cut and clean the raw meat and I am vegetarian. I had no other prospects and I had no money so I remember praying to God and asking whether this is his plan for me. The very next day I landed my first editing job at a big channel in Toronto. In the last few years Vipin has featured in movies like Monkey Man Manoj Bajpayee-starrer legal drama Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai and multiple web series such as Paatal Lok Season 1 The Family Man Season 2 Guns & Gulaabs and PI Meena.
