MUMBAI: Omi Vaidya burst into the Bollywood scene with scintillating performance in the blockbuster ‘3 idiots’, and since then fans await his next project on the big screen.

His character  ‘Chatur Ramalingam’ in 2009 film “3 Idiots’ shot him to fame and some may wonder where the actor has gone after a super-hit actor cites lack of challenging roles as the reason for his absence from Bollywood.

“I am grateful for being remembered for my role in ‘3 Idiots’ because most people work all their lives to get that kind of fame. I got into this profession because I wanted to do something different. ‘3 Idiots’ was very challenging as I did not know the language and I did not grow up in India,” Omi said in a recent interview.

The actor says travelling to exotic locales for his films shoots and getting to hang out with big Bollywood stars was a great experience but was not enough to convince him to continue doing big-budget movies in India.

“After ‘3 Idiots’, I did take up other projects which were enjoyable, I was paid very well and was appreciated by people. But the challenge of life is about learning constantly. Some people are just happy with making good money but I want to continue growing and for that you have to do different things. I strive on doing something different.”

Besides fatherhood, Omi is also starring in a new Indian-American show Brown Nation, which is an entertaining, slice of life series focused on life a struggling small IT business owner in New York.

Vaidya married Minal Patel on August 22, 2009. In June 24, 2015, Minal gave birth to their first child, a boy.
