Tera Yaar Hoon Main actor Ssudeep Sahir, sees acting as a form of expression. For him, his craft is not just limited to acting but also to the essence of artistic expression itself.
In an exclusive chat, the actor got candid about his craft, his hobbies and more.
He said, “I don`t really see a strict line between actor and artist. For me, acting is just one channel for a deeper need to express myself. I`m an artist at heart, and that core desire could absolutely flow into other forms down the line.”
Having spent a fair share of time in the industry, he never felt the need to reinvent himself. He said, “I`ve never had a moment where I felt I needed to reinvent myself to stay relevant. I think that kind of pressure comes from outside noise.”
Ssudeep Sahir on choosing projects to evolve
“My focus has always been on evolving naturally through the roles I choose and the stories I tell, not on chasing a trend,” he added.
Acting has always been Ssudeep`s first love, and he just can`t let it go. But if he had to choose another career path, he would create a perfume range. He said, “I have a real passion for perfumes—I`m a collector. I find the stories you can tell through scent fascinating. So, I`d probably dive into that world, maybe even create something of my own.”
In an age where visibility often defines success, the line between personal and professional identity can blur easily. The actor believes in maintaining a sense of mystery, as he feels it is just as vital as honing his craft.
Ssudeep Sahir emphasises keeping personal life away from the camera
“I believe a big part of the magic is the mystery. If you open every single aspect of your life to the public, what is left for the audience to imagine? They know you, not the character. So, I`m very conscious about protecting a part of my life that is just for me. That privacy isn`t about being secretive; it`s about preserving the space necessary for my craft,” Ssudeep ended.
