Before making it big in the film industry, Rio Kapadia had started off his journey in the television world, and had been a part of several shows, including Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke, Mahabharat amongst others. Back in 2012, Rio, in an interview with Telly Chakkar, had opened up about getting frequently replaced in the film industry, and had revealed the problems the actors faced over there. He could be quoted as 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… his is the reason why not many of our new shows exists 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."
Rest in peace, Rio Kapadia!
