Shivam Khajuria talks about casting couch in industry

While talking to us, Shivam Khajuria mentioned that he everybody find people who want to take work to different tangent and not acting saying, "Aise bahaut log milte hai jo, apart from work, they want to get to a different tangent. But I think you as an actor have to be smart as well. Jo actor hoga, uske andar logo ko observe karne ki kala hogi. Agar aap logo ko acchi tarah se observe hi nahi kar sakte ho, unke intentions ko ache se samaj hi nahi sakte ho, fir aap ache actor hi nahi bann paoge. Aapko pata chal jata hai ki ye insaan serious hai, ye insaan kaam ke baare me soch raha hai ya iske kuch alag hi funde hai. Samgho and politely patli gali pakad ke nikal jao.(Translation: You’ll meet many people who, apart from work, want to take things in a different direction. But I think, as an actor, you also need to be smart. A true actor knows how to observe people. If you can’t observe people properly or understand their intentions well, you can’t become a good actor. You can tell who is serious, who is focused on work, and who has some other agenda. Understand it—and politely take the hint and walk away)."Check out the complete interview below:
