Pulkit Samrat’s rise reads like a Bollywood plot: reluctance, impulse, and overnight glory. The star opened up about rejecting a TV audition—until Ekta Kapoor’s name tipped the scales—forcing a hasty Delhi-to-Mumbai sprint.
Pulkit dreamed of profound roles, dismissing daily soaps as formulaic. The casting pitch highlighted a fresh character, but Ekta’s mentorship sealed it. No itinerary, just instinct—he flew out that night, unaware of the destiny awaiting.
In Mumbai, Ekta confirmed his fit for her legendary show after seeing his images. A makeover, test footage, and instant approval followed. Yet, success’s thrill clashed with family longing; he’d departed in secret.
Using a pretext of pain, he rushed home. Parents’ tearful welcome at arrivals melted away doubts, steeling him for the spotlight. His splashy debut with a leap and song turned him into TV royalty.
That unscripted gamble paid off immensely, fueling a career of blockbusters. Pulkit’s tale underscores how fate rewards the daring.
