Shilpa Saklani
Television actress Shilpa Saklani in a recent conversation spilled the beans of the Television industry and said that actors have a “shelf-life” because the audience needs a change. She said “Unless your show is going on and on, how long can you look at the same face? Everybody needs a change, be it the audience or the actor,” Saklani, who’s been in the business for nearly 25 years, tells us.
Shilpa Saklani said, “We are fossils. We’ve become old!” Saklani laughs. The 42-year-old further shares how playing the character of Ganga in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi (2002) came with a sense of security, just like her generation of actors, as compared to today.
She further said,“We came during that Balaji time when shows went on for ten years and age was on my side. We were their in-house actors. We were shooting 365 days. I bought my first car at 19 and my first house at 21. A lot of people can’t do that today because they don’t know when their show will end.”
