Vijay Raaz recalls struggling during his college days when he became deeply interested in theater, leading to poor academic performance including failing for two years and submitting a blank economics exam paper in his final year because he was preoccupied with acting. Before establishing himself as a successful actor, he also worked various odd jobs such as selling sarees and assisting a chartered accountant[1]. He began his acting career in 1999 and gained recognition for roles in films like *Jungle*, *Monsoon Wedding*, *Run*, *Gangubai Kathiawadi*, *Gully Boy*, *Delhi Belly*, among others. Despite early struggles, Vijay Raaz frames these difficulties not as true hardships but as privileges because he was pursuing his passion, a path he could choose, unlike many who must do work out of necessity to survive. He emphasizes that real struggle is being forced to do something one does not want to do, rather than struggling while following one's chosen career. Raaz also describes his definition of success as inner peace rather than material wealth or societal recognition. Even during times when he had little money or food, he maintained a positive outlook and enjoyed life[1][4][5][7]. In sum, Vijay Raaz's journey involved early educational setbacks and odd jobs but was driven by a passion for theater that eventually led to a successful acting career. His perspective on struggle and success is grounded in gratitude and resilience, highlighting the privilege of pursuing one's calling despite initial hardships.
