Passion Over Complaints

In a conversation with IANS, Daksh shared that everyone in the television industry chooses to be here. He added that people give their best because they are driven by passion and genuinely love what they do. When asked about the industry's common issues of long working hours and delayed payments, and whether they should be discussed more openly, Daksh responded that he personally views long working hours as a blessing, as it means he is 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. Of course, challenges exist, but I don't complain. I've even slept in my car between shoots while managing multiple projects, and I still felt grateful. For me, being able to work consistently is what matters most," he went on to add.

Responsibility as Nakul Virani

During the interview, Daksh further revealed if he felt any pressure playing Nakul Virani. Daksh said that no matter which show he is a part of, there is always a responsibility attached to it. "Every show that airs on national television carries its own audience and expectations. It's not just about one particular show—every show has its viewers. So, as an actor, you have to give your best shot every single time," he explained.

"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.
