Viraj also revealed how he ladned his first-ever job. The actor-influencer added, "Toh ye saari cheezien dekh ke mujhe laga mummy ne bola ki ‘theek hai I give you a year’ aur waha waha se chalu kiya fir Filter Copy ka job mila mujhe jiska mera salary tha 16,500. Toh mereko laga ki agar koi engineer pass out hoke aata hai toh uska salary 20,000 hai. Pehela salary toh itna hi hota hoga toh 16,500 with not doing engineering is great money so I was like crazy. Toh waha se thoda bahot chalu hua. This was the beginning."
