As the calendar turns to 2026, popular television actor Vishal Gandhi is embracing a philosophy of quiet optimism and spiritual surrender. Moving away from the typical frenzy of New Year resolutions, the actor is choosing to place his trust in divine timing and let go of rigid personal expectations.
Reflecting on a Year of Growth and Challenges
Looking back at the year that was, Vishal describes 2025 as a period with "many ups and downs in terms of work." He candidly shares that while the overall year was "okay," it was not without its hurdles. However, the actor focuses on the positive takeaways, noting that the challenges were accompanied by valuable learnings and experiences that contributed to his personal and professional growth, ultimately helping him move forward.
A New Year Approach: Faith Over Fixed Plans
When questioned about his goals and resolutions for the new year, Vishal presents a refreshingly different perspective. He quips, "They say if you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans. So no plans." Instead, his strategy for 2026 is rooted in spirituality and trust.
"I’m choosing to walk by faith, even when life feels uncertain, and allowing God to unfold His perfect plan," he explains. This involves a conscious decision to release personal ambitions and fully trust in a higher power's sovereignty. Vishal expresses a firm belief that this divine plan is inherently good and holds the promise of hope and fulfilment far beyond what one can imagine for oneself.
Diverse Roles and a Creative Side Hustle
Vishal Gandhi, who began his acting career in 2008 with the show 'Bandhan Saat Janamon Ka', became a household name portraying Kabir Singh Rathod in the hit series 'Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani'. Since then, he has showcased his versatility across various television projects including 'Tamanna', 'Meet: Badlegi Duniya Ki Reet', and 'Tose Naina Milaai Ke'. Audiences recently saw him in a different light, playing a negative lead role in 'Safal Hogi Teri Aradhana'.
Beyond the camera, Vishal is actively nurturing another creative passion: photography. He reveals that he is currently enrolled in a course at a leading photography institute and intends to continue honing this skill throughout 2026. Simultaneously, he remains open and eager for new acting opportunities. "I’m open to new acting projects and promising roles across platforms," he states, indicating his readiness for both television and digital ventures in the coming year.
