Vaibhav Sharma, a city-based model and actor, will soon be seen sharing screen with Shahid Kapoor, Mrunal Thakur and Pankaj Kapoor in ‘Jersey’.

A resident of Guru Nank Pura (West), Vaibhav (28) has been trying his luck in the entertainment industry for the last five years. Prior to that, he has appeared in several web series, TV commercials, songs and movies.

Playing a role of a cricketer in the movie, the actor still remembers the day he left the city, to chase his passion.

“I had no Idea that I would pursue acting. I used to play cricket, so sports was on the priority list. However, as its rightly said, everything is written in the destiny, I started developing fascination towards acting during my teens,” said Sharma.

“Subsequently, by the time I started pursuing graduation, I began to associate myself with drama and modelling. During third year, I moved to Mumbai to check how the industry worked. I came back and prepared myself. To survive in the industry, I even worked at a call centre. I was a bit lucky, as I got a chance to do modelling within a month, followed by advertisements,” he said.
