Gurmeet Choudhary says SSR helped in removing the notion that TV actors are not successful in films

Starting his acting career through small screen by ‘Ramayan’, actor Gurmeet Chowdhary has made a mark in the entertainment industry by giving some successful television shows, web series and a few films as well.  In an interview, he said that how in his recent days he was often told that since people see him everyday on their small screens, no one will be interested to pay to see him on big screens. He added that the success of Sushant Singh Rajput helped in breaking this notion and the things have improved slightly since then.

The actor made his debut in 2015 with Vikram Bhatt’s directorial Khamoshiyan. Since then he has been seen in many other projects including The Wife, Wajah Tum Ho and Paltan.

He said in the interview, “I became quite popular after Ramayan and while I would get film offers, none of the popular production houses called me. And I was sure I wanted to make my film debut with a big film. And this is why I continued to do television. I must add here that Sushant Singh Rajput did help remove that baggage somewhere. After his wonderful debut, people started scouting for the next TV star, and that’s how I got picked.”
