I aspire to be an artiste not a star, says Amit Sadh
With four projects including Breathe: Into the Shadows and Shakuntala Devi that released back-to-back on the web, Amit Sadh had a great 2020.

We need to create a healthy environment, so that next time when someone from Manipur or Kanpur tells their parents that they want to move to Mumbai to work in the film industry, they should be proud of their children’s choice and not worry,” concludes the actor.
