Tell us about the journey of a small town guy to the \u2018Asia\u2019s fastest speed painter\u2019?<\/h3>\n<p>I was always into art from age 3. All that I dreamed of becoming in future was an artist. Because I was good in academics everyone encouraged me to carry on with that and join work. I had to follow that path to make a living also. However after working for about 6 years as a Human Resource officer in MNCs I realized I am not making use of my talent. That growing dissatisfaction pushed me to get more involved in paintings and I took part in a regional reality show in Karnataka before getting into India\u2019s Got Talent in 2011. That was my first big break. I quit my job after the reality show and then \u00a0went on to perform in 25 countries. Asia&#8217;s Got Talent was a great exposure on International media.<\/p>\n<h3>4. We all have seen you in \u2018India\u2019s Got Talent\u2019, how did you feel showcasing your talent on National Television? Tell us about your complete experience in IGT?<\/h3>\n<p>Showcasing talent on national TV was an exhilarating experience. I was nervous all the time and it was very stressful in that way. Just the pressure of exceeding your performance each time was a learning experience. It was fantastic to meet Bollywood stars like SRK, Salman Khan, Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Kiron Kher and many more. The show gave me confidence to perform at any big stage.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_376952\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-376952\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-attachment-id=\"376952\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/vilas-nayak-asias-fastest-speed-painter-finalist-indias-got-talent-season-3-winner-ec-live-quotient-innovative-act-award-2012-interview-ss\/bollywood-superstar-shahrukh-khan\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/10211602\/Bollywood-superstar-Shahrukh-Khan.jpg?fit=1024%2C775&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,775\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Pravin Utturkar&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Solaris Images.

Do you feel that a reality show can influence the career of an artist to a great level?<\/h3>\n<p>Definitely yes! My life so far is an example itself that it influences an artist career positively. But yes we need to understand that reality shows kick starts an artist&#8217;s career for sure but then after an year when the public memory fades, it&#8217;s up to the artist to continue- to be innovative and passionate to go a long distance. Else like most of the reality shows sensations we will disappear in no time.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_376953\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-376953\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-attachment-id=\"376953\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/vilas-nayak-asias-fastest-speed-painter-finalist-indias-got-talent-season-3-winner-ec-live-quotient-innovative-act-award-2012-interview-ss\/nammura-habba-2016-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/10211706\/Nammura-habba-2016-2.jpg?fit=1024%2C910&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,910\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Satish K Sringeri&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;9448336692&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Nammura-habba-2016-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/10211706\/Nammura-habba-2016-2.jpg?fit=300%2C267&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/10211706\/Nammura-habba-2016-2.jpg?fit=1024%2C910&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-376953 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/10211706\/Nammura-habba-2016-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C910&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Vilas Nayak-Asia's Fastest Speed Painter interview ss\" width=\"1024\" height=\"910\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/10211706\/Nammura-habba-2016-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C910&#038;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/10211706\/Nammura-habba-2016-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C910&#038;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/10211706\/Nammura-habba-2016-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C910&#038;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-376953\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CHALLENGE YOURSELF EACH DAY, EVERYDAY<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>8.
