Sudhanshu Pandey on actors getting typecast

Sudhanshu Pandey has been in the industry for over two decades now and has appeared on both small and the big screen, and he feels that it’s easy for a TV actor to get typecast. However, he mentions that one can always break the monotony. The actor says, “Television actors get typecast a little faster because they are seen in a daily show every day. You are playing this same character every day for years, so you do tend to get typecast but I think there is always a scope to break away from it because audiences’ memory is not forever. You do something different, give them a different sort of entertainment through different characters and they will forget your past. It depends on whether you want to do the same thing or you want to move into a different character. It’s a personal choice.”

He also spoke about how at times a celebrity’s personal life takes centre-stage once they make their relationship public. He said, “Actors have a certain mystery related to them because people see them on screen and they always wonder what this person must be in real life. I am a very private person, and never talk about my personal life out in the media or with anybody.”
