The good boy of television
Ssudeep Sahir adds certain quirkiness to his performances. As an actor, Ssudeep’s subtle display of deftness lends much needed credence to the otherwise mundane television viewing.
Ssudeep Sahir adds certain quirkiness to his performances. As an actor, Ssudeep’s subtle display of deftness lends much needed credence to the otherwise mundane television viewing.
His scenes have a fine veneer of genuineness mixed with credulity, a definitive differentiator which makes him a cut above the rest.
Under rated but certainly not under performed, Ssudeep deserves bountiful of accolades and appreciation for his silent yet successful display of acting prowess on the small screen.
Post his charismatic stint in ‘Dream Girl’, Sahir is set to entwine his emotions with those of TV watchers, via his performance in the titular character in Zee TV’s ambitious ongoing project ‘Woh Apna Sa’.
Ssudeep in a chat spoke about ‘Woh Apna Sa’, reality shows and more…
What made you nod in affirmative for the project?
It all started in a gym. I and our show producer Siddharth (Malhotra) were working out together. He came up to me and shared that he is coming up with a show and I was apt for that particular role. We sat and discussed the story. As I have worked with him in my earlier show ‘Ayushmaan’, I know his vision very well. He is good maker and with writer like Raghuvir Shekhawat on board I couldn’t say a no. My character of Aditya is very loveable but at the same time you will feel sad for him. Many men will relate to my character who don’t lead a happy life with their wife.
You have never been in controversies… so is it a conscious movie to stay away from unnecessary publicity?
I love to be in my work space and not involve myself in controversies. My work should speak and that’s why I have managed to survive for these many years.
What’s your take on reality shows?
I am not a reality person. I did Nach Baliye few years back as I enjoyed dancing.
Have you gone to producers to seek work?
By God’s grace I have been fortunate to get work. And after my every project I take a break of six months to spend time with my family.
Do you think you are yet to become an A-listed actor?
In a way I feel I have done shows which have gone on for couple of years. May be that’s why I have survived for 14 long years. I do my best in every show and hope for it to do well, beyond that nothing really matters.
