While discussing his struggles, Vineet stated, “I remember I was doing Dhoka with Mahesh Bhatt Sahab. There was a phase in between when, for a year, I had gone to Banaras. I couldn’t understand why. It had been quite some time, seven or eight years, and nothing significant was happening. We were heading to shoot, I think, in Udaipur. At that time, Alia used to sit in Mahesh Bhatt sir’s lap because she was very young. Even back then, I was struggling, and I am still struggling today. Alia is a fantastic actor, but when you get an opportunity at the right time, things change for you. I’ve said this before as well.”

“People say, ‘Gold shines after it’s tested by fire. But if gold keeps burning endlessly, what’s the point? Who would wear it? So much time has passed, just burning in that fire. Everyone says the struggle is necessary. I’m not saying I’m running away from struggle. But how much? What am I asking for? I want to do good work, be part of good films, work with good directors, and collaborate with good producers,” he added.

Singh said, “I work with complete honesty. But there are still many places where I haven’t gotten an opportunity yet. I’m not complaining. I never look at this space of nepotism that way. I believe they are fortunate. I believe Alia Bhatt is fortunate. She is talented as well and works very hard. I really like Ranbir Kapoor’s work. Whenever I watch Ranbir’s films and find something I like, I personally message him.”

He further continued, “As an actor, there’s mutual respect. There are many people who are really good, but the other needs and challenges in life, you have to face them. If you’ve come from outside, you have to fight those battles. What fault is it of theirs? And the people who are making films, the makers or directors, they have their own dreams. They want to work with someone they prefer. I just hope that someday, I am worthy enough for my name to come up in their preferences.”
