Talking about what he does when he is not shooting for the show, Viraj said, ''I fully enjoy it when I am not shooting for the show. I was not shooting for 15 days for the show, so, I go to gym, I love playing cricket, I play for the club,. So that's my other passion. I have played it professionally as well. But I had to choose one profession, so I chose acting. I also attend my college.''

Revealing his plans for the festive season, Viraj said, ''Yes, the festive season is here but my college has also started. I will definitely celebrate it. I even celebrated Navratri. I think one should enjoy this festive season whenever they can with their friends and family. I will do the same.''

Lastly, revealing about a profession he would have chosen apart from acting, he said, ''I always wanted to become a cricketer since my childhood. I was crazy about cricket and I am an encyclopedia of cricket. Cricket was the only thing on my mind. But then slowly, I got interested in acting. I used to play cricket as well. But I got success in my acting career as well. Then I realized that the wise choice is to continue with acting. I was growing in my acting career and people were liking me for it.
