Daily soaps block my growth, says Nandish
He became a household name after featuring in the TV show Uttaran, but Nandish Sandhu has been missing from the small screen for a while now. The actor admits he has been flooded with fans’ questions on when he will do a television show once again.
“Fans have been really supportive. They message me saying, ‘When are you coming back on TV?’ My answer to them is, they can watch me on OTT [shows] and films. But, I’d love to do something for a finite period on TV,” he tells us.
The 40-year-old asserts that only something finite can lure him to make a comeback in the TV space. “Long commitments like daily soaps block my growth. I want to experiment with different things now,” he adds.
But, the money for a popular name on TV is a lot. “That is the comfort zone. If I keep staying there… I would have to choose between that and stepping out to grow,” he shares.
Is Sandhu inhibitive, though, about exposing on screen, considering the web space is uncensored? The actor, who made his web debut with Undekhi season two, reasons: “If it’s something that is justified by being a part of the story [it’s fine]. But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t have any limitations or boundaries. Even if it is justifying the story, nudity is something which I have never done in my career. Romance and certain intimacy can be there, without being vulgar. I don’t want to get into
something that looks vulgar. Romance is a part of my job, as far as we don’t
stretch it so far that the selling point of that product or script becomes the intimate scenes.”
