Karan Tacker is one of the biggest names in the Television industry. The actor has starred in some of the popular TV shows, including Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai, Special Ops, Khakee: The Bihar Chapter, among others. Recently, Karan shared his journey, highlighting the struggles newcomers face in the entertainment industry. He opened up about his experiences at film festivals and how he successfully carved out a niche for himself as an actor without any industry connections or backing.
In a conversation with ANI, Karan Tacker said, “You don't really get people to meet you very easily. And it's a lot of knocking on doors constantly again and again, maybe casting directors, producers, or perhaps the directors you want to work with."
"For me, it was sort of challenging because at the time that I took a break from television, there were only films and to crack on was very difficult because nobody at that time was launching any new faces. There was a certain perception about actors who came from television. And that was a bit of a barrier to jump,” said Karan Tacker
He went on to state, “As an outsider, you can't compete with actors from the film family because they have a lot going for them, while they might have their own challenges, which I wouldn't really know of. But they get a lot of padding. They can pick up the phone on a whole lot of people if they want, and get an advice on whether they should attempt a script or they shouldn't, somewhere as an outsider, you have to go out there and build those relations maybe with seniors from the industry or people you have faith in and ask advice.”
“So somewhere I feel, as outsiders, the first chunk of your entire career, you are only trying to find your bearings within the industry. And it's post after that, you know what's happening, and you know enough people who can be there and guide you through it,"he further added.
