Professional life

Vibhav started his career playing the main lead in Gustakh Dil on Life OK. He essayed the character of Nikhil, a suave educated businessman hailing from an affluent family who falls for a homely girl from a village. The show ran for 16 months and was quite a hit with the masses. With the show ending on a high, he portrayed the lead role of Ishaan in Zee TV’s Doli Armaano Ki. The success of this show paved the way for him to work on Ekta Kapoor’s Kuch Toh Hai Tere Mere Darmiyaan on Star TV. He quit the show within three months of joining and the show fizzled out due to low TRPs soon after.

After working in television for three years, he got a break in movies when he was approached for Padmaavat. He played the role of Itaat Khan in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus. Thereon, he depicted the character of 'Fahd Khan' in Sony Pictures release Lashtam Pashtam, which released on August 11th, 2018.

gollark: Unless you do it for each other's submissions, for balance.
gollark: Well, it can't really be fully symmetric because LyricLy has the information about which submission is theirs and you don't.
