Actor Amit Sadh gets candid.

I Let The Camera See My Soul

Amit Sadh is from that rare breed of trained young actors that stays clear of high drama. He came onto the scene like a breath of fresh air, a refreshing change from the entertainment scenario of special effects, melodrama and pancake-thick make-up. He debuted on television, doing both serials and reality shows, but came to be noticed after his high impact, yet hallmarked subtle performances in Kai Po Che (2013), Sultan, Naam Hai Akira (both 2016), and Sarkar 3 (2017). He has tasted success and failure, almost in equal measure, does not have a godfather in the film and television industry, and knows that his best is yet to come. Refreshing on screen and candid off it. He tells THE MAN how he lets the script take over once he hears ‘lights, camera, action!’

It has been a long, tough professional journey that I’m sure took a lot of blood and sweat. Now, years later, do you feel that you invested your time well?

It has been a long tough journey, but nothing comes easy. I think the key is to believe in yourself, even when no one else does. Do what you feel is right, even if it sounds crazy, and your life becomes a collective of juxtaposition(s), because that’s where you’ll find serendipity. And in moments of serendipity you’ll find the answers that you’ve been looking for. I wanted to be a movie actor and everyone told me that I was crazy and that I didn’t have the ‘right look’ for movies. So, I went to New York, with the little money that I had at the time, to study acting. People told me that I was crazy, that I wouldn’t survive. It was the best decision I’ve made. I learnt so much about myself and my craft. I met some of the most incredible people—teachers and friends. It was a very important period of my life, and it has made me who I am today. I am grateful.
