Amit Sadh: Art demands constant evolution from an artiste

Amit Sadh, who has recovered from Covid, is using the downtime caused by the third wave to sketch and prepare his character for the upcoming season of 'Breathe: Into The Shadows.' 

For him, art necessitates constant evolution on the part of the artist in order to push the boundaries and create something truly spectacular. 

The actor recently discussed his encounter with Covid-19 with a media source.

Amit recalled the time when he was recovering from Covid and said, "COVID affects people differently. I had milder symptoms despite taking utmost precautions and following COVID-appropriate behaviour. I was at home with my four-legged fur babies. Throughout my isolation period, I was aware of my situation and stayed calm, followed what doctors advised me, eating good food, resting, staying hydrated, and sleeping enough. It went well for me.

He emphasised the importance of maintaining a calm mind, saying, "I was present in my moment rather than overthinking. It's important to know that certain situations arise where everything is how it needs to be at that moment. So I took that step, to pause and do what was necessary to do at that moment."

He continued, "The focus was to recuperate well and look at things objectively. I spent my time with my quarantine gang, my babies Coca and Brando (his dogs). I missed spending time with them, and I am glad to be around them."

He explained what 'Breathe: Into The Shadows' means to him as an actor "A lot has been invested into making what 'Breathe' is right now. Emotionally, physically, mentally, it has been a long journey to get into the skin of Kabir Sawant for each season. Kabir Sawant's character makes me realise what extreme limit human strength can go and at what length - redemption, resurrection, and more."

He credits the show's writers and his director with bringing out the best in him "It's an internalised process backed by great writing and a lot of support from my director Mayank, who is with me all the time. When we are filming, he directs me so well."

Taking a philosophical approach, he believes that an artist must constantly evolve with time in order to outdo themselves "I read a beautiful line somewhere that said, don't talk about philosophy, show it! (haha). I sincerely feel that any act/art is an evolution of sorts for any artiste. It is a work in progress, be it their craft, behaviour, or life. It is something for people to take notice of, acknowledge, and feel."
