Sahil Anand
Actor Sahil Anand has spoken candidly about his conscious decision to avoid being typecast in the entertainment industry and how that choice eventually led him to one of the most challenging and meaningful roles of his career in the upcoming film Godaan. Looking back at his journey, Sahil admitted that the path he chose was far from easy, but it was driven by a desire to grow as an actor and take on roles with depth.
After his appearance in Student of the Year, Sahil revealed that he was repeatedly offered comedy roles. “I could have continued doing only funny characters, but I chose not to,” he said. According to the actor, casting directors often viewed him as a stereotypical comic Punjabi character. “I kept saying no because I wanted to explore different roles,” he added.
