Ankit Gupta on the short life-span of a show
According to Ankit, the reason behind the shorter life spans of TV serials is that, after some point in time, people acquire a casual attitude towards their work. Elaborating further, he highlighted that this satisfactory attitude comes from the daily shoots and telecasts, which are eventually harmful to the show.
“When that starts happening, honesty misses, jab tak aap wo honesty se cheez kroge nahi wo audience se connect hogi nahi (Until you do your work with honesty, you will not be able to connect with the audience),” Gupta added.
Sharing his opinion further, the Bigg Boss 16 contestant mentioned that honesty is something that is missing in people’s acting these days.
Explaining the same, he gave an example, “There is a line; it's “Main pagal hoon (I’m mad)! Agar ye apko likh ke diya hai, usko to koi bhi bol dega but what makes an actor that you feel that ‘Main pagal hoon!’Jab tak aap feel nahi karoge woh honesty aapke shabdon mein nahi aayegi. Woh honesty aapke actions mien nahi aayegi (If there is a line saying, ‘I’m mad! Anyone can speak it, but as an actor, you have to feel it before saying it; until and unless you feel it, honesty will not reflect in your acting and actions).”
Moreover, the Udaariyaan actor claimed, “And it shows in your eyes that you are not there, you’re just saying the lines.”
