Nandish Singh Sandhu On TV Actors Facing Bias in Bollywood


Nandish Singh Sandhu, who began his acting journey with the TV show Kasturi, spoke about the treatment of television actors in films. When asked whether TV actors face mistreatment in the film industry, Nandish said, “We cannot generalize that. Everything is very individualistic. Agar hum ise aise generalise karenge ki TV actor ko kaise dekha jata hai, toh I don’t think that’s the right way to do it. Because har insaan ki apni journey hoti hai. It also depends on who you’re meeting, how you carry yourself, what kind of work you put into your craft, and what kind of personality you have. So it’s very different.”

He further added, “Jaise ek dawa har insaan par kaam nahi karti, vaise hi har insan ke liye uski journey alag hai uske characteristics ke hisaab se, uski conditioning ke hisab se, uski personality ke hisab se. Everybody goes through different kinds of journeys. What I would say is, when I was stepping into films, I was welcomed beautifully. Maybe I was lucky to be meeting the right kind of people, and I met some beautiful people in the industry.”

The actor also said, “Maine suna hai bohot logo ko bolte hue ki they had to face this kind of criticism ki tum TV se aaye ho, tum loud acting kar rahe ho. I never had to face that. I’ve heard those stories. Maybe I was meeting the right kind of people, or maybe I was doing something different. I don’t know. I cannot pinpoint. People from my first film (Super 30), the producers, the director, the casting team (Mukesh Chhabra team), I’m still in touch with them. They’ve become friends. So I would say I never had to face such a situation, but I also don’t deny that certain things do exist.”
