Roop Mard Ka Naya Swaroop actor Shashank Vyas: I didn't develop my six pack abs to try my luck in Bollywood

Shashank Vyas who is best known for his role in Balika Vadhu says that envy-inducing abs and drool-worthy body is not enough to get in Bollywood and neither the same proves that he wants to enter Bollywood. He says, “I didn't develop my six pack abs to try my luck in Bollywood. I had a year when I was free and so I dedicated myself to working out. Apart from that, there's no connection between six-pack abs and getting a role in a film, it's all on your acting skills. It's all about how you perform and give your 100 percent."

He also added that movies are vital but right now it is his secondary focus and not primary.“The amount of energy I put in playing a character on television will be the same energy that I will put in a Bollywood role. It's not that I am saving some energy or craft for the 75 mm screen. I don't want to. I don't have the time to stress on what medium it is, I don't care if it's a web series, television, or films. Whatever I am today is because of television, people know me because of my shows and my craft and people talk to me because I am a television actor, it's my bread and butter.

I respect television and frankly TV is one medium which every bollywood actor tends to associate themselves with be it film promotion, participating in reality show, becoming judge in reality show or ads on TV so TV can't be ignored forget being looked down upon. Having said that I do want to do films especially because wide variety of content is being made and there is scope for TV actors. TV is one medium which enables you to work and deliver quality under pressure".

Meanwhile, he is also planning to go on a sabbatical to rejuvenate himself. “Depends on from personality to personality but I feel like a break is a must in an actor’s life. I need time to be with myself since it's been a year of hectic schedules."

Shashank also revealed that Shah Rukh Khan aka King Khan is his all time inspiration. He says, " Dreamer, Believer and Achiever these three words describe SRK and that's the reason I believe him. One has to believe in dreams and work hard to achieve it. SRK is my inspiration."
