TV got me all the fame"
Blueblackberry > Do you find performing on TV more challenging or is it movies that you want to be associated with?
Sumeet Sachdev > They are two separate mediums. TV has lot of time constraints. Over there maximum efforts need to be put in little time, which is challenging in its own way. But films definitely give you more chance to perform, as they give you more time. I have yet not performed in films and so I am in no position to compare.
Sumeet_fan > Hi, where have you studied? Are you ambitions?
Sumeet Sachdev > I went to Don Bosco School, Delhi and then to Sushant School of Art & Architecture, Gurgaon. I don't really think too much about the future because all my life, till now, things have fallen well in place for me.
Akki > How do you feel working on television vis-a-vis theatre?
Sumeet Sachdev > TV got me all the fame, which I don't think theatre would ever have. But, both being separate mediums are great in their own way.
Snehal > Are you really planning to settle down with Kiran Dubey who plays Karishma in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhie Bahu Thi (ksbkbt)?

Sumeet Sachdev > Very reserved, quiet, a little confusedbut clean at heart.
Cool4u > Dear Sumeet, you are a very talented and handsome actor. You are especially good in emotional scenes. I liked you the best in the scene where you cry when Teesha goes to Australia and also when Baa curses you and you cry. You were excellent. How do you manage to do these scenes?
Sumeet Sachdev > Frankly, personally, I am most uncomfortable doing scenes where I have to cry. And I think, the fact that the comfort level is not very good, makes me concentrate all that more.
