His recent performances in Anubhav Sinha’s “Thappad“, the anthology film “Ghost Stories”, and the web series “Made In Heaven” among others have garnered praise, and budding actor Pavail Gulati feels waiting for the right opportunity without being bitter about struggle has proved to be the right way for him.
“I think one of the toughest things in an actor’s life is to wait for the opportunity that he has dreamt of. I am one of those people who never want to sit idle and crib over the fact that I am not getting acting assignments. So just after finishing my graduation from Whistling Woods International film and media institution, I started working on production, assisting, and editing among other things. I think as long as your mind is engaged; you do not get into that negative zone, and stay hopeful,” Pavail told IANS.
The actor, who worked with Amitabh Bachchan in the TV show “Yudh” in 2014, feels fortunate to have acted for filmmakers as Zoya Akhtar, Anubhav Sinha, Ekta Kapoor, and Anurag Kashyap among others.

“It is a dream for any actor to get a call from filmmakers whom he has admired forever. I think in my journey so far, I have manifested everything well, because I only looked at the opportunity most of the time rather than the length of my role,” said Pavail, who went through extensive theatre training under the mentorship of an icon like Naseeruddin Shah before entering Bollywood.
