We are TV actors . We get paid on a per day basis .There are times when we shoot for 25 days a month, and there are times when we’d shoot for just 5 days a month. Just like any individual, we too have bills to pay and a majority of us live in rented apartments. Our job security is as uncertain as our working hours. Not all of us drive expensive cars or go to Bastian for Sunday brunches. You’ll often spot us on the road and recognise us solely by our characters names, and sometimes not recognise us at all. Phrases like ‘Diwali bonuses’ and incentives don’t exist in our world. This lockdown has not been the same for all of us . While some of us are privileged, there are some who are challenged in these unprecedented times. To Manmeet, and his whole family, may god bless you, and give you strength. Godspeed, my brother.
