It is not very easy for any actor to get his first break. Be it actors or actresses, first they work very hard, give a lot of auditions and only then they get something. Especially at that time when there was no social media. In today’s time, social media has also become a medium for doing work or getting noticed. But in the 90s, actors had to face a lot of pressure. In such a situation, actor Vivaan Bhatena got his first break very easily, that too in Falguni Pathak’s cult classic.

Even today people remember that we all saw Vivaan Bhatena for the first time in Falguni Pathak’s song ‘Maine Payal Hai Chhankai’. It was through this song that Vivaan became our first crush. But do you know how Vivaan got this music video? Regarding this, Vivaan himself told that he had just gone to the studio to impress a girl and suddenly I got the music video.

‘Was hitting on the girl’

Vivaan told in the Digital Commentary podcast that, ‘This is a very funny story, I was hitting on a girl, she was going to give an audition, so I also went to Polygram’s office. I thought that after the audition, we would go for some coffee, do this, do that. And she went inside, I was sitting outside, passing time. A casting director came to me and said, will you do a music video? So I said what is that? Because at that time they were new, music videos were becoming popular at that time.

Vivaan further said, ‘I was lucky, I got this music video, they said that if I give 2000 rupees, I will spend the whole month in it. For us, that song was a normal song, but we did not know that it would become so popular, such a big cult classic.

Let us tell you that after this one music video, Vivaan Bhatena worked in many more music videos. After this, he worked in many television serials like ‘Chand Ke Paar Chalo’, ‘Kumkum’, ‘Chhuna Hai Aasmaan’, ‘Sanskar Lakshmi’. After working in TV for a few years, Vivaan started working in Bollywood films. Recently he was also seen in Farhan Akhtar’s film ‘120 Bahadur’.
