Guts & Glory Amit Sial

We are thankful to the OTT platforms that have introduced actors who otherwise weren’t blessing the big screen enough. One such talented actor is Amit Sial, whose journey is nothing less than a rollercoaster ride.

After appearing in various films like ‘Love Sex and Dhokha’, ‘Peter Gaya Kaam Se’, and ‘Phas Gaya Re Obama’, Sial finally tasted success on the web platform with successful shows like ‘Inside Edge’, ‘Hostages’ and ‘Mirzapur’ among others.

Sial hopes to be approached for lighter genres such as comedy and romance because he doesn’t want to limit himself by just playing intense characters. Well, who wouldn’t want to see Sial romancing on screen, right? Gearing up for his upcoming projects, Sial talked about family’s support, ‘character’ actors, reuniting with Randeep Hooda, and more.

You come from a humble background and had no connection whatsoever with the entertainment industry. In such cases, how important do you think is one’s family’s support to take that leap of faith?

I’ve always been fortunate enough to find support from my family in whatever I do. Having said that, they were definitely wary of me taking up acting as a full-time profession. Their suspicion was mostly based on the concern and my welfare rather than being an obstacle to my decision of pursuing acting. But as I had already decided that nothing else could make me more happy and content than this, they submitted to my will.
