Ammy Virk’s journey from a small Punjab village to becoming a famous actor, singer and producer is living proof that with talent and hard work, one can achieve whatever they desire. Ammy started his musical journey with the debut song Chandigarh Diyan Kuudia and later on gave several hits like Yaar Amli and Zindabad Yaariyan, which resonated with the masses. With his passion for storytelling, the talented singer entered the glitzy world of acting and debuted with the Punjabi movie called Angrej.

Ammy Virk’s first movie helped him earn the Best Debut Actor award at the PTC Punjabi Film Awards in 2015. And now, the actor has come a full circle as he recently completed 10 years in the industry. The Punjabi artist has ruled over people’s hearts for a decade, and talking about the same, the Dholna singer expressed that now he feels like a senior. According to a report in Hindustan Times, Ammy feels, “Ab to senior si feeling aa rahi hai. Pata hi nahi chala ki kab time nikal gaya but pyaar bahut zyada mila hai.” He also shared that it was Kishore Kumar’s journey as a singer-actor that inspired him to venture into the acting world.

Reflecting on his journey, the Qismat star proudly said that every actor needs his first few movies to work amazingly well, and luckily, that happened for him. Ammy also shared that he has had back-to-back success, and his success ratio is 80-85%.

Main Suneya singer also shed light on people’s perception about Sardar artists and shared that with the success of stars like Diljit Dosanjh, people’s point of view has changed. “Now we are being approached to play heroes and not just a Sardar character in Bollywood. Up until a decade or so ago, Sardars were used in Hindi films just for comedy or gags. What we were not, we were shown as that. We would question why are they showing us like that? But over time, they recognised the potential of Punjabi stars.”

Talking about choosing careers in two related fields, Ammy explained that when the Bollywood industry started in the 30s and 40s, all the actors first began their journey as singers and chose to become heroes later on. He also revealed that this culture was also followed in Punjab. He suggested that it's always advantageous for a filmmaker to cast an actor who was a singer first, as the artist already knows how to face the camera and work around it.
