Actor
Sachin Parikh has always been appreciated for his acting abilities and
knowledge of the craft. However, not many know that acting runs in his blood.
His father was into theatre, which is how Sachin also got involved in acting.
“Basically, if you see, I am the second generation from my family, in this
fraternity. My dad was more active in
theatre, in his early days, in the late 70s.
My dad Mahesh Parikh, along with Paresh Rawal, Shafi Inamdar, Swaroop
Sampat, Homi Wadia, were all one gang and loved doing theatre. I used to
observe them in my childhood and get immensely inspired with the process and
work. But like my dad, I had never decided to pursue it professionally and
completed my graduation from NM college and did LAW from Mithibai. But somehow, destiny gave me an opportunity
to show my artistic side and started doing professional theatre and got a break
in a Gujarati TV show called ‘So Dahda Sasuna, as a hero. That's how the
journey in TV began,” he says. However,
Sachin did find it challenging to face the camera for the first time. “I was
extremely nervous. After the first day of the shoot, I actually went back home
and thought that the director will definitely replace me. But I gained my
confidence on the very second day and did my best. I remember seeing my
director jumping with joy, more for the fact that I was very receptive in my
approach and flexible to accept what he wanted out of me. There was no looking
back. From that day until today, I am still learning from every work that I
take up,” he says.
However,
the actor says that he should have experimented with his look a little more
during his early days. “I wish I had experimented with my look. I have always
been lazy or maybe I can say, ignorant on changing my look as an actor. Of
late, I have realised that I can carry different looks quite convincingly carry
them off. This is so very important for an actor,” he says.
