Hitesh Bharadwaj: Struggle, as painful as it is, teaches you what success never can

Hitesh Bharadwaj; in the music video Mann Ka Panchi Actor Hitesh Bharadwaj, currently seen in the TV show Aami Dakini, has added two new feathers to his cap — lyricist and director — with his debut music video Mann Ka Panchi. For Hitesh, writing has long been a personal outlet. 'Writing has always been a part of me. I truly realised it during those late nights in Mumbai when I couldn't sleep, and my mind was racing. Writing started as a hobby and slowly turned into verses that spoke not just for me, but for many,' he shares. Stepping into direction felt like a natural progression, he says. 'As an actor, I was always curious about the world beyond my role. Direction isn't about control; it's about feeling every heartbeat of the story. I think I always had it in me, but it took time and courage to acknowledge it,' he adds. Reflecting on his decade-long journey in Mumbai, Hitesh says, 'I remember staying in a tiny room in Malad, sharing space with two others. Most auditions were in Andheri, I used to take a BEST bus, clothes wrinkled, sometimes soaked... and my only goal then was to earn enough money so I could shift to Andheri West, closer to the auditions, so I didn't arrive drained before I even began!' Hitesh added, "I've walked lonely roads, stood invisible in crowded rooms. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Mumbai didn't welcome me — it just stood watching. I stayed in a tiny room in Jankalyan Nagar, sharing space with two others.' He further recounts, 'I gave countless auditions that led to silence. With every 'no,' I questioned my worth a little more. Some days, I didn't have enough for rent. Some nights, I cried quietly, alone. But I always woke up and tried again. Giving up never felt like an option.' He concludes, 'Struggle, as painful as it is, teaches you what success never can — it shapes your spine, your soul and your story.'
