TV actor Sanand Verma: Famous TV actor Sanand Verma has completed 15 years in the industry. He got a lot of popularity from the show ‘Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain’, in which he played the character of Saxenaji. Recently Sanand talked about the difficulties of his career and said, ‘I faced many difficulties in my career. I started from zero and reached here today.
So I started walking 50-50 kilometers
The actor said, ‘I started from zero. Before entering the world of acting, I used to spend all the money I earned from my job to pay off the loan on my bungalow. I had no money left and I was not in the habit of saving money. I live for today and do not save money. All the money from the job was spent on the bungalow. In the beginning there was a lot of struggle in this situation. I couldn’t ride the local train so I started walking 50-50 km. However, initially it lasted for six months and then I started getting ad films.
…because I wanted to be a movie star
Sanand further explains that, when I used to do TV shows, I used to do cameos. I didn’t want to reveal my true face, because I wanted to be a movie star. So I didn’t want to get too much exposure on TV. But when I saw Sushant Singh Rajput, he was playing the lead role in the popular serial ‘Pavitra Rishta’ and then appeared in the film ‘Kai Po Hai’. I thought if he could get this far, why can’t I? During that time, I got the offer of ‘Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain’ which I accepted. Then I got the offer from Mardaani and I also started working in films. I have done more than 25-30 films in my career so far.
According to Sanand, he was interested in acting since childhood. He said, ‘I have been a natural actor. I have been inclined towards acting since childhood. Even when I did theater in my childhood, people praised me a lot. I played the character of a 70 year old man at the age of 12. I got the best actor award. Sanand said, I will now be seen in the film ‘Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyan’.
