What Vedang Raina mentioned in his Post

In one photo, Vedang appeared in character as a student, sporting a turban and carrying a bag. Another captured him alongside Sharvari. He also shared a frame with Naseeruddin Shah, with both portraying the same character at different stages of life. Introducing the post, Vedang wrote in the caption, “I came home one day after an audition (I was 19) and told my parents that acting is what makes me feel the most alive. I didn’t expect to say that and I was as surprised as they were. It’s now been 2 and a half years since I came into this industry that’s given me everything and my gut feeling was right.”

He further wrote, “Maybe it’s too early to say but Main Vaapas Aaunga is a film that’s changed everything for me. What I’ve learned, how I’ve grown as an artist and more importantly as a human being is not something I can quantify with an Instagram caption. @imtiazaliofficial thank you for taking me on this journey and letting me be your Keenu. Thanks for letting me collaborate with artists I’ve always looked up to and gotten to learn so much from @naseeruddin49 @diljitdosanjh @arrahman @irshadkamilofficial @sharvari . This film is special and relevant and so pure and I’m grateful to have been a part of it.”

Wrapping up his message, Vedang wrote, “I’m as passionate as ever and I’m driven to keep working and perfecting. I love what I do. I feel alive. Thank you for showering us with so much love. Thank you for your blessings. Main Vaapas Aaunga in cinemas now🎥🤍 And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.”
