Actor Vrushab Khadtale opens up about the challenges he faced in the early stages of his acting journey. Read more to reveal what he says. He started with his appearance and what happened in the casting rooms. Khadtale shared that if an actor doesn’t conform to the conventional appearance, landing a job becomes a struggle. He said it’s really disheartening and unfair how looking conventional is preferred to understand one’s craft.
During the initial stages of my acting journey, I was body-shamed in the casting rooms, he added. They told me I wasn’t fit, fair, and tall enough, and I don’t have the expected baritone. He also mentioned that I was not looked at with respect. Further, he shared the casting couch experience. The Shiv Shakti actor said I had instances where casting directors wanted to talk to me in a certain way on video calls, and I had politely declined them.
Vrushab recalls a bitter experience, once a casting director called him to his office, and instead of discussing the script, the director veered the conversation into the casting couch zone. Then, the casting director also insisted him to get through it to get the work. However, Vrushab refused to do so. The Shiv Shakti actor expressed that I was confident about getting my work on merit, and I am glad that now the industry has many positive changes.
Vrushab Khadtale confessed that today there is more acceptance and empathy for hard-working individuals. Everyone is getting a chance to prove their talent and land the job. Because this is how I secured my first TV commercial and show.
