Anas, Hunar and Gaurav don't fancy Bollywood!
There have been a host of TV actors who have tried to make their mark in Bollywood.
Some have tried and many have failed! Does it hold true for TV actors that all of them aspire to make it in Bollywood? Contrary to popular belief, many TV personalities think otherwise. Here's a look at three popular TV celebs who are content with television.
Gaurav Khanna- He's the romantic hero of the small screen and has been seen in serials like Yeh Pyar Na Hoga Kam, Dil Se Diya Vachan and Kumkum. His latest show on Sony TV, Byaah Hamari Bahoo Ka, where he plays the main lead Krish, has garnered much interest and curiosity for its title. Gaurav Khanna's a happy man who believes that he'd rather "be a big fish in a small pond than be a small fish in a big pond". Says Gaurav, "I was offered many roles for films but I dint feel they were right. I'm happy playing romantic roles on TV because every role I have played until now has been different."
Hunar Hali- This Delhi girl has been very clear from the beginning about TV being her forte and main focus. Hunar, who plays the main lead Aditi aka Neha in Chhal Sheh Aur Maat says, "The TV industry is female oriented and dominated in comparison to films". She further adds, "For me, there was a very clear divide between TV and films. I'd rather be successful in one place than wander". Like Shahrukh Khan who is the baadshah of Bollywood, Hunar "wants to be the begum of TV".
Anas Rashid- He plays the main lead in the No. 1 show on TV: Diya Aur Baati Hum and Anas currently has no plans for Bollywood. Says the actor, "TV gives me a name and a chance to polish my skills. Besides, Bollywood had come to TV, so at this point my focus is only Television. Maybe sometime in the future when I feel I've made my mark in television".
Sometimes, Bollywood is not always the answer, at least for many TV actors.
