To succeed the first and foremost thing is to give yourself the ‘opportunity’,” says the television actor Sumeet Arora. Sumeet Arora, who is known for the roles in hit daily soaps like Pavitra Rishta and Babul Ka Angan Chhute Na, has created a niche for himself in the television industry with the comedy show Chidiya Ghar. He portrays the role of Gomukh Kesari Narayan in serial Chidiya Ghar and has already won the hearts of the television buffs. While in a rendezvous with The Pioneer, Sumeet shared his perspectives and also shares his experience in television industry. He also talked about the city of lakes and how much he is impressed with the atmosphere of the city.
As Sumeet has appeared in negative, comedy and neutral roles, he believes that it is important to grab any opportunity one get. “I believe that the first thing to do is to grab any opportunity you receive. You have to be available to do any work,’ said Sumeet.” “When I came down to Mumbai from my home town Jaipur, I seriously didn’t decide what work I have to do. Then I made myself available for even small opportunities and now you can see me sitting here as a recignised actor,” said the actor.
On asking about which roles he prefers to do on television, he says, “Though all the roles are filled with creativity and art. But yes Comedy is a huge challenge.” Elaborating further, he said, “It is challenging of course to act every day, to perform every day to be in the same character every day and yet one manages to impress the audience. It is challenging. It is easy to bring out sad emotions, but it is pretty difficult to make somebody laugh their heart out. So every day we have to come up with a new and a fresh thing,’ added the actor. Television industry has grown a lot and here luck plays a vital role. For many actors luck doesn’t work out and for some it turns the stone into gem.
