Television actor Daksh Sharma, who is seen essaying the role of Nakul Virani in the popular show "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2", opened up about the long working hours in the television industry, along with delayed payments

During an exclusive conversation with IANS, Daksh shared that everyone working in television is working here by choice. He added that, driven by passion, people give their all as they simply love what they do.

He was asked, "The industry often talks about long working hours and delayed payments. Have you experienced this, and do you think it should be discussed more openly?"

To this, Daksh told IANS that he personally sees the long working hours as a blessing, as it means you are getting work.

"Everyone in this industry comes here by choice, driven by passion. No one is forced to be here. People work day and night because they love what they do.

"There is a bit of nervousness and a sense of responsibility, but being associated with such a well-known name feels really special. You feel grateful and lucky because so many people come to Mumbai with dreams, and getting to be part of something like this means you are living that dream in a way. It's a beautiful feeling", concluded Daksh.

Honestly, I appreciate his positive attitude. The TV industry is brutal, but if you're chasing your dream, you'll do what it takes. My cousin works in serials and she says the hours are insane, but the love for acting keeps her going. "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2" is a legacy show, so I'm glad they have someone who is committed. Best of luck, Daksh! 🌟

It's easy to say "no one forces you" when you're already established. For newcomers trying to break in, they have no choice but to accept these conditions. I wish the industry had stronger unions like in the West. But ya, Daksh seems genuine, and his gratitude is refreshing. Just hope he uses his voice to advocate for better working conditions too.

Arre, passion doesn't pay the rent, dost! Delayed payments are a huge issue. I've heard from crew members on big shows who haven't been paid for months. Daksh is a lead actor, so he probably gets his money on time, but what about the lightmen, spot boys, and junior artists? They can't afford to be "grateful" when their families are waiting. Please talk about that too.

Daksh sahab ka dedication dekh ke achha laga. Haan, working hours bohot zyada hote hain, but agar woh khush hain toh hume kya? Bas achha content do humein. 🙂
