Despite being in the industry for 12 years, Vaibhav Raj Gupta found his moment in the spotlight after SonyLIV’s Gullak series. However, it wasn’t until the second instalment that people began to notice him. “Gullak changed my life and career. While the first season didn’t [create an impact] because the show didn’t have big faces, the fever caught on after the second edition. It took three seasons for people to recognise me as an actor,” says Gupta, adding that now he gets calls and scripts from production houses, and “people are taking me more seriously”.
