Exclusive - Abhishek Sharrma looks back at struggles and growth amid Vasudha success: 'Industry has been my biggest teacher'

Abhishek Sharrma, who is getting a lot of appreciation for playing Devansh in Vasudha, says his journey in the industry has changed him in more ways than just acting, and it has been a mix of learning, setbacks and steady growth over the years.

Talking about his growth, Abhishek said the industry has contributed a lot to building his personality over the years. He explained, “Honestly, the industry has been my biggest teacher. It has shaped me far beyond just acting. It has built my patience, emotional strength and discipline. It has taught me to be courageous.” He added that early expectations often change with experience, and consistency becomes more important than instant success.

He further said that acting is not just about talent, but also about understanding the craft deeply. “Professionally, I’ve learned that talent is just one part of the game. Understanding the camera, the audience, and storytelling is equally important, and the craft is the most important of all,” he said. On a personal level, Abhishek believes the ups and downs of the industry have made him stronger. “Rejections, long hours, unpredictability—they either break you or build you. For me, they have built resilience and clarity about why I do and what I do,” he added.


When asked about the kind of roles he now wants to explore, Abhishek was clear that he is looking for more meaningful and layered characters. He said, “At this stage, I’m looking for roles that challenge me and allow me to explore different layers as an actor. I don’t want to be boxed into one image.”

He also expressed interest in content-driven projects across television, OTT and films. “I want to do characters that are real, flawed and impactful. I’m very keen on working with directors who push boundaries and tell meaningful stories. The goal now is growth - not just visibility,” he said.

Abhishek added that he hopes to be part of projects that leave a lasting impression on the audience. “I want to create an impact that stays with people long after they’ve watched it. I want to inspire the audience the way I get inspired when I see great performances and storytelling,” he concluded.
