CID actor Hrishikesh Pandey on career struggles: Success is all about timing
Actor Hrishikesh Pandey, recognised for his role as Inspector Sachin in 'CID', shared insights into the entertainment industry, emphasising the significance of timing in achieving success. Known for his extensive work on Indian television, Pandey reflected on his journey as an actor and the role that patience and timing play in life. According to him, success in the film industry requires being "at the right place at the right time."advertisementIn an interview with The Times of India, he said, "Opportunities don't come easily, and when they do, people grab them. That's how it has always been - and it will continue to be."Pandey elaborated on the unpredictable nature of the entertainment world, saying, "You can meet people and stay in touch, but unless the timing and situation align, things won't work out. So yes, focus on your own path, keep working, and your time will come." When selecting roles, Pandey prioritises the depth of the character over the role's perceived prestige. "But more than that, it's the character that matters to me. I don't care if I'm playing a beggar, a hero, or someone young or old. What matters is the strength and importance of the character," he addition to discussing opportunities, Pandey addressed the media's role in shaping public perception. He believes the media should focus more on meaningful content rather than sensationalism, stating, "Firstly, the media needs to be more responsible... There's too much promotion of irrelevant or even vulgar content these days.""Secondly, we need to stop recording or promoting private conversations or sensationalised drama. It's inappropriate and disrespectful. Entertainment and the media come with responsibility. What we do and say influences people, so we need to act accordingly. There were so many unneeded things recorded, sometimes published without any consent too. I feel all of this should be totally avoided," the actor Pandey is best known for playing Inspector Sachin in the popular TV show 'CID', a role that made him a familiar face in Indian households. He started his career with shows like 'Kohi Apna Sa' and later appeared in serials like 'Hamari Betiyoon Ka Vivaah', 'Porus', and 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai'. He has also acted in films like 'Dhai Akshar Prem Ke' and 'Runway 34'.- Ends

Exclusive- Roopal Tyagi on her experience of working in TV shows says, 'It teaches you how to balance priorities and give your best under pressure'
Actress , popularly known for her role as Gunjan in Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke, talks about working on Television for years. She shared her experience as a TV actor. She said, "What I truly believe is one of the greatest things about working in television is that it teaches you how to perform under intense pressure. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Whether it's the pressure of time, receiving scripts at the last minute, or having little to no preparation, television trains you to adapt quickly. You learn to truly embody your character so deeply that even if something is thrown at you unexpectedly, you instinctively know how your character would respond. That's an incredible skill to develop." She continued, "In fact, when you see an actor delivering a strong performance on television, it's important to recognize the level of discipline and talent that is required. If someone is doing well in such a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, you can be sure they'll shine just as brilliantly—if not more—in mediums like OTT or film, where there's more time for rehearsal and character preparation." She explained, "Television actors are constantly working against the clock. We often shoot an episode a day and sustain the same character over months or even years. To keep that character fresh, engaging, and emotionally consistent over such long periods takes a tremendous amount of craft. So if someone can pull that off successfully, it says a lot about their calibre as an actor." She added, "That's the beauty of television—it teaches you how to balance priorities, stay focused, and give your best under pressure. It's a tough space, but it builds you up in ways few other formats cant." Talking ahead about her share of struggle she mentioned, "I've been in the industry for around 17 years now—first as a choreographer and then as a television actor, working across both fiction and non-fiction formats. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now One of the biggest things I've observed over the years is the lack of proper guidance in the industry. When I started out, there was no structure at all. We didn't even know who to approach or how to go about things. " "While things are starting to become a bit more organized now, and I do see some positive changes happening, this gap in mentorship and structure has been a long-standing issue—not just in television, but across the entertainment industry as a whole. The fact that things are slowly evolving is definitely a step in the right direction," she concluded. She was last seen in , and is also known for featuring in shows like Shakti - Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, Dill Mill Gaye, Hamari Betiyoon Ka Vivaah, Kasamh Se. She also contested reality shows like Dance India Dance Li'l Masters 2, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8, Bigg Boss 9.
