When you are doing what you love the most, work doesn’t feel like work. And actor Tanish Mahendru, who is playing Sufiyan Siddique, aka Sufi, in Prateek Sharma’s Studio LSD’s Rabb Se Hai Dua, totally agreed with it. In fact, he is so happy to be on the set every day, that he doesn’t mind not getting any holidays.
“I genuinely feel that you should work where you never want the holiday. I’m happy that I don’t get any holidays because I don’t want to. My set is a happy place, and that’s where I want to spend most of my time,” he said.
Being an actor also means doing night shifts, and though Tanish admits that he is not fond of them, he is okay doing them every once in a while.
“I’m not really fond of night shoots, but sometimes it’s fun. Nights are meant to relax and spend time with your family, whereas days are meant to work. But my life demands it. So I’m okay working night shifts too. As long as the team is good and positive, it doesn’t really matter at what time you’re working,” he said.
And yes, it is quite fun to do what you love the most, but it can be exhausting too, especially with the summer heat at its peak. Tanish shared that he keeps himself hydrated to battle the heat. “I drink one liter of coconut water every day to hydrate myself. Yes, it’s tough in this hot, humid weather, but again, if you love your job, how does it matter.”
