I always wanted to
be an actor and I'm an actor by choice. If I'm focused on Acting, I'm totally
focused on acting. In a daily soap, doing a daily soap is a lot of commitment.
Alternate profession is a good idea. If your physical presence is not needed
much, it's all about goals, and time management and financial stability is
surely a need.
Manish Naggdev
An alternate career is
a must. The entertainment industry is an unpredictable and disorganised sector.
There's a lot of competition. There's always a substitute available. Financial
stability is important. So if you have a fallback option, you can multitask
and also be choosy about the kind of work that you take up.
Nyrraa M Banerji
To have an
alternate career or not is a personal choice. In the TV industry, work may not
be constant for everyone. Financial stability is surely important. As of now
I'm totally focused on acting and acting is like oxygen to me.
Mrunal Jain
Yes, one should
have an alternate career. It's always good to multitask. The entertainment
industry is disorganized with films flopping and TV shows going off the air
abruptly. The stability is uncertain. An empty mind is the devil's mind. One
should constantly work and follow one's heart.
Jay Zaveri
An actor’s job is
one of the toughest jobs because one needs to be very patient and has to have the
mental stability to do this job because sometimes an actor can become famous
overnight and sometimes it takes years to achieve success. It’s vital for an
actor to have an alternate profession. The only reason that an actor should
have an alternate profession is if he is not able to sustain financial
stability in his life. Everyone needs money and if you are not famous and
successful there is a shortage of money and to cover up that and handle the day-to-day
lifestyle you need money. So, in today’s world, you need an alternate
profession not only in acting but in any profession. You need to have multiple
sources of income
Angad Hasija
It’s not only about
acting but if you are in any profession you should have a plan B. I feel for an
actor it’s really important to have an alternate plan because after doing a
show if you have a gap you can be busy with your alternate thing. In the television
industry, we all have the habit of being busy and when we get breaks we travel
around but then can lead to boredom after some time. Also, if you have an
alternate work you can choose your shows and characters accordingly but if you
don’t have any other options you have to take up the show or work no matter
what. It’s important to have an alternate profession as it gives you confidence
Ashoka Thackur
I feel if you are
in the acting line then you should focus on that job only because if you are
thinking about two things then your mind gets diverted. One should have a
motive fixed because then only one gets successful. An actor can do many things
and can survive with their art. People are doing theatre and are earning well
and running their houses. Having an alternate profession can lead to confusion.
One should choose one thing and give their 100 percent to it
Ssudeep Sahir
I think it’s
important for anyone in the creative field to have an alternate profession or
should definitely make some sound investments. That way you can choose what
projects you want to do and you don’t have to do anything and everything that
comes your way. Yes, handling business & television becomes challenging
& taxing at times but it’s worth it.
Charrul Malik
Yes, every actor
should have an alternate profession because this line is very uncertain and in
order to be confident and secure one should always secure his or her future as we all know that all actors work on a per-day basis so sometimes there is
work sometimes it is not. Once confidence shouldn’t be lost because acting is
all about being confident and being the best. This confidence comes when we are
financially strong and not dependent on anybody. So I think every actor should
have a side profession
