While TV shows and films may come and go, iconic dialogues stay with us for a much longer time, says actor
Saanand Verma
. The actor, who is known for his show Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain and has been part of films such as Raid, Mardaani and Chhichhore, says that he loves it when his fans recreate his dialogues.
'I remember I used to say Gabbar Singh's dialogues a lot. My father would often tell me, 'Come on, say Gabbar Singh's dialogue.' And I would say it at least 10 times a day, 'Kitne aadmi the?' That was the fun of it. When an actor performs, he does it with emotions and feelings. That's how he connects with common people. And when that connection happens, people enjoy it and even try to imitate it. So many kids say 'I like it,' so many people say ' Wah Beta, tum goo khake hi maanoge,' and many say 'who's your daddy.
' This is a big compliment for any actor when fans copy something of theirs, enjoy it, and have fun. What more could an actor want in life? I feel very lucky that this is happening to me,' he says.
As for feedback, the actor says that he really loves it when he gets feedback from his mom. 'It really matters to me that my mother likes my work. My mother watches Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain very regularly on &TV at 10:30 pm, and she feels very happy and proud of me.
My sister also watches all my work, and we discuss everything in detail. She is herself a very good actor, so she also guides me and shares her views. It gives me a lot of peace and happiness when my own people watch my work and we have these discussions.
It feels so good when they feel proud of me,' he says.
Appreciation is very important, but social media comments can sometimes be negative too, he says, adding, 'I don't think I have been trolled.
And even if I have, I don't really know about it. Earlier, I used to read comments and even reply to them. But now, because of a lack of time and also because sometimes there is negativity and some strange people say odd things. I don't focus on comments anymore. So I really don't know if I've been trolled or not.
And even if I have, it's okay. If not, that's okay too. The main thing is, when you are in public life and millions of people watch your work, it's not necessary that everyone will support you or praise you.
If you enjoy hearing praise, you should also be ready for criticism. An artist can't always expect appreciation. Sometimes you have to face criticism, too. I'm not afraid of it. I just try to do my work with all my heart. And if someone trolls me, let them. I even pray for them, may God keep them happy. I have no enmity with anyone. I'm friends with all, enemies with none.'
Talking about his upcoming track in the show Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain, he says, 'In my upcoming track in Bhabi Ji, the light moment is that I want to fulfil a big dream of mine. I want lightning to strike me from the sky, and I want my whole body to turn blue because of it. For this, I've even made a device that I carry around and keep saying, 'Let there be lighting! Let there be light!' So this is going to be a very fun and interesting track that is coming soon.
