Rio Kapadia’s career journey

Rio Kapadia began his career in the television sector before breaking out in the cinema industry. He appeared in a number of episodes, including Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke and Mahabharat, among others. Rio spoke candidly about being repeatedly replaced in the film industry and the issues actors there faced in an interview with TellyChakkar back in 2012. He could have been heard saying:

“I belong to no such group; I have grown up in a different way and have certain values in life. This is a very bad situation for any actor to be in, and many of them have faced this in the industry… This is the reason why not many of our new shows exist for a time span of more than two months. Gone are the days when shows used to run for a year to two years to a maximum of five to ten years.”
