Ssudeep Sahir is driven by passion for acting
Ssudeep Sahir, who is currently captivating audiences with his performance in Parineetii on Colors TV, opens up about his journey, career choices, and the realities of being an actor in a highly competitive industry.
Reflecting on the decisions actors make when selecting roles, Ssudeep states, "At the end of the day, what you're asking is about actors taking on roles purely for financial reasons. See, everybody has their own financial circumstances and responsibilities—paying bills, running a household, and ensuring stability. It’s tough, but, eventually, you have to keep going until you find something you truly love."
However, he also emphasises the importance of financial planning and having a secondary source of income. "That’s why I always say having a parallel career or smart investments is crucial. It gives you the liberty to pick roles that excite you rather than taking up work just to survive." He believes that this kind of security allows actors to pursue roles they are truly passionate about.
Talking about what keeps him motivated, Ssudeep shares, "After a certain point, money takes a back seat. What truly becomes rewarding is doing what you love. I consider myself extremely blessed to be able to act, take on different roles, and challenge myself. When you love what you do, it never feels like work." The appreciation from his audience, he says, is one of the biggest rewards. "The love and support of viewers is so beautiful. It pushes me to keep giving my best."
For Ssudeep, his family remains his biggest source of strength. "A solid home, and unconditional love from my wife and son help me stay grounded. Their support makes every challenge easier to face."
