While most celebrities would agree that television remarkably increases the visibility of a star, Bollywood actor Vinay Pathak refuses to give credit to the small screen or theatre for his soaring popularity.
“My growing popularity has nothing to do with theatre or the shows I am hosting on television,” Vinay said.
“They are altogether different jobs. I have to be myself when I am hosting a show. I mean the way you see me on the small screen, I am the same even when the camera is not rolling, while in films I have to forget myself and get into the skin of the character,” he explained.
The actor has hosted the celebrity chat show ‘Ranvir, Vinay Aur Kaun?’ on Star TV and the ‘Nokia Football Crazy’ on ESPN-STAR.
As for the kind of roles he is looking for in Bollywood, the versatile actor said, “As an actor it would be unfair to the profession if I say I want to do certain types of films. The choice is story specific.
“It is like life. I can’t predict what is going to come my way. Stories happen every day and who knows something might excite me to the extent of taking it up.”
