Television actor Vijayendra Kumeria, currently playing the male lead Sanyam in the show Juhi Mui, has opened up about his 15-year journey in the Indian entertainment industry, reflecting on personal growth, creative clarity, and the restless fire that launched his career.
A Birthday Reflection on Growth
Speaking on the occasion of his birthday, Kumeria said each passing year has reshaped his perspective on life and work. 'With every passing year of life, you become more mature, you understand yourself a bit more, and you become more aware of what you have to do in life,' he said. 'You also gain more clarity. So, this year too, I feel that I am much clearer and much more mature.'
He acknowledged that change is a constant — in lifestyle, in thought, and in self-awareness. 'There are a lot of changes that happen in one's life, lifestyle and way of thinking. It happens with every passing year, and it's the same this year as well. I hope I become a better person with every passing year,' he added.
What He Would Tell His Younger Self
Asked what advice he would give the eager, determined young actor who stepped into the television industry 15 years ago, Kumeria was disarmingly honest — he would change nothing. 'I will tell my younger self that you did well. The passion and the fire that you had 15 years back when you started your career were right, and they are still there. Maybe back then, you were a little restless, but it paid off,' he said.
He went further: 'If I have to give any advice to my younger self, I would say, don't change. You are what you are today because of the hard work and passion you have put in over so many years. So, I do not want to change anything about my younger self.'
Where Kumeria Stands Today
The actor is presently seen in a pivotal role in Juhi Mui, a project that has brought him renewed visibility on Indian television. His career arc — from a newcomer driven by ambition to a seasoned lead — reflects a broader pattern in Hindi television, where longevity often hinges on adaptability as much as talent.
Notably, Kumeria's candour about the restlessness of his early years offers a rare window into the psychological demands of sustaining a television career through changing audience tastes, formats, and production realities over more than a decade. As he steps into a new year, the actor appears grounded in both his craft and his sense of self.
Point of View
But they also quietly underline something the industry rarely discusses openly: the psychological toll and reward of sustaining relevance across 15 years of Indian television, where formats shift, platforms multiply, and audience loyalty is never guaranteed. His insistence that he would change nothing about his younger self reads less as nostalgia and more as a hard-won confidence — the kind that only comes after enough setbacks to test it. For a medium where actors are often swapped out faster than storylines, that durability itself is the story.
