Won: Most Promising Newcomer – Male – 3 Idiots.It was sold to Netflix and is now available on YouTube. It feels nice." Big in Bollywood īig in Bollywood (2011) is a documentary film about American actor Omi Vaidya's journey from a struggling Hollywood actor to a successful Bollywood breakthrough with 3 Idiots. Today, when I go out on streets, people come and shake hands with me. I have been enamored by the love and appreciation I have received from the audience. I was a bit depressed but when it got over, it was difficult for me to even get out of the theater. My role was a surprise they had planned for the audience." Vaidya later recalled that, "When I was at the premiere of 3 Idiots, no one recognized me. He stopped me saying nobody knew me and I should wait till the film is released. Vaidya states: "Before the film released, I asked director Rajkumar Hirani if I could give a couple of interviews. A lot of credit also goes to Raju and Abhijat Joshi for the way the character came across on screen." He was also discouraged from providing interviews before the release. I basically saw my Bollywood innings as a challenge. Even if they don't pay you by the hour and there is no extra time, there is warmth and care. Of his success in the film, Vaidya credits the atmosphere of the cast and crew stating that in Mumbai there is "a personal touch, unlike Hollywood. Vaidya states that he "just rattled it off without exactly understanding the words, almost like the speech scene in 3 Idiots." After being signed for the part of Chatur, he was told not to study Hindi, not to watch Hindi films, and to gain weight. After passing the first audition, he was asked during the second to read dialogue from Lage Raho Munna Bhai. Vaidya auditioned for the role of Chatur while on a trip to Mumbai. He received strong reviews for his performance. Vaidya's most notable performance is in a supporting role in the 2009 Bollywood film, 3 Idiots as Chatur Ramalingam (or "The Silencer"). He portrayed Sadiq in two episodes: " E-mail Surveillance" and " Fun Run." He was also seen in Bones. After receiving a small role in Arrested Development, he was asked to audition for the role of Sadiq for The Office by the same casting director. He continued to act as well and received small roles in television programs and commercials. Career Īfter college, Vaidya began to work as an editor for horror and South Asian feature films. In 2015, Minal gave birth to their first child. Vaidya married Minal Patel on August 22, 2009. After graduating in honors from NYU, I went back to Los Angeles and began auditioning for roles in T.V. I learned the technical language used on the sets. I went to NYU film school and learned the ropes of filmmaking, editing, acting, etc. I learned more about acting in high school and that's when I became really serious about films as a career. I started acting when I was about six in Marathi mandal nataks and some English plays in the US. My native place in India is Goa and I also did visit Mumbai quite often during my growing up days. That's where I grew up, but every year we used to come to India. Vaidya commented on his background in an interview: He then transferred to the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University and graduated with honors. He graduated from the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts and later attended the University of California, Santa Cruz for two years. Vaidya was raised in Joshua Tree in Yucca Valley, California.
