"My journey began in 2010. I got Ram Milaye Jodi which was the biggest break of my career back then. That show became the top most rated show on Indian Television and I got a lot of attention and love during that time. I was 21, 22 back then, and I was immature and I thought that since I am getting so much attention, why am I wasting time doing TV, why don't I do a big budget film? I was sure I will receive love in films too," he shared. Nishant then added that during that time, he got an offer for film, "for which, I left the show, after a little fight. In retrospect today, I feel I shouldn’t have done that because it was unfair towards the channel and producers. I was foolish and immature but that it okay, I made my mistake and realised it."
Opening up on what led to a break of few years in between before he returned with Guddan Tumse Na Ho Payega, he revealed, "I took a break from TV and during the break, I did at least one to two movies a year but with all new banners. I did not have the sense that I should have focused on working with established banners rather than new. I had no business sense then, so I did not worry about the release so much." However, he realised his hard work was not been seen by the audience. "I realised that I am working so hard everyday of my life, I earned decent money to survive but at a point I realised that what am I doing all this for? People are unable to watch my work and I felt where am I going wrong? That’s the story of every actor who isn't coming from the film background and trying to make a mark in the movie business," he said.
