Shehzad Shaikh: TV Was My Only Connection To My Country When I Was In Jeddah

It was his desire to feel connected to his country that helped actor Shehzad Shaikh develop a love for TV. The actor, who is currently seen in 바카라�Sindoor Ki Keemat바카라�, says that it was television that made him feel at home when he was staying in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

바카라�I developed the desire to become an actor during my early days when I was in Jeddah and found TV to be the only connection back to my country. I wanted to do the same for others,바카라� he says.

Talking about the inspiration, Shehzad Shaikh says, 바카라�My favourite actors have a lot to do with me entering his field. I used to love watching Hollywood A-listers while growing up but the quad squad of Shahrukh, Salman, Aamir and Akshay have always been my favourite. Of course, a super special mention to the fantastic Saif Ali Khan as well, I truly admire all of their work.바카라�

He adds, 바카라�I learned acting and work with the help of my directors. I'm totally a director's actor which is great for me.바카라�

Hard work has got him where he is today, says the actor, adding, 바카라�My first break was in the episodic show of 바카라�Savdhaan India바카라� and since then I have worked my way up the ladder slowly and steadily. Today, I have completed more than 1000 TV episodes.바카라�

The actor has done Hotel Management, and BBA and was also a cabin crew. He says that all of that has also helped him become the person he is today. 바카라�Hotel management taught me humility and developed a mental fortitude to work for hours without tiring and BBA and my other degrees have helped me in my businesses but the truth is that every experience I have ever had is an addition to my craft,바카라� he says, adding, 바카라�Acting isn't a business I would ever recommend to anyone I know personally. Purely because it is one that requires yourself to be the product. And in a country of more than a billion people, not everyone sells so be prepared and keep your backup plans ready.바카라�
