Known for his calm demeanor and grounded approach, Neel admits that the balance between personal and professional life is still a work in progress. 'To be honest, I'm still learning,' he says. 'My work takes up most of my time, but I try to stay in touch with my close ones as much as I can. Even short calls or video chats help me feel connected,' he shares. On rare days off, he finds solace in playing music or spending time outdoors. 'It keeps me grounded.' Speaking about fame, Neel reflects on how recognition from the audience has evolved for him. 'In the beginning, it felt a little strange when people started recognizing me. I used to feel shy. But over time, I understood that it's a part of this journey. Now I see it as love from the audience, and I try to carry it with respect and responsibility.' Neel also revealed a creative ambition—voice acting. 'I've always loved audiobooks and narrations.

Neel Samarthh: Sometimes doing nothing in a beautiful place is the best way to feel it
For actor Neel Samarthh, who's currently winning hearts with his role in Sabse Bada Rupaiya and gearing up for his upcoming web series, travelling isn't just a hobby — it's a personal journey that nourishes his soul. 'To be honest, I didn't even realize when I fell in love with travelling,' he shares. 'It started with curiosity, wanting to know what life feels like in other parts of the world. The turning point was my first international trip. The feeling of landing somewhere new, hearing a different language, getting a little lost, trying new food… it was exciting.' Despite his hectic shooting schedules, Neel makes sure to travel at least once every year. 'Breaks are not just a luxury, they're a necessity,' he says. 'I don't wait for the perfect time. I block my dates and plan work around it. Sometimes I wrap up back-to-back shoots just to earn that escape. It's always worth it.' Talking about his travel preferences, Neel adds, 'It really depends on my mood. I've done solo trips where I've walked whole cities on foot without a plan. It felt freeing. But I also enjoy travelling with people who bring good energy.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Recalling one of his favourite trips, Neel shares, 'My recent trip to Paris was unforgettable. The city has a soul of its own. We were a small group, but the memories felt larger than life — sunrise at the Eiffel Tower, random street musicians, getting lost in alleys… it felt like living inside a movie.' Calling himself a "relaxed explorer", Neel confesses, 'I don't like rushing through tourist spots. I prefer finding a hidden bookshop or sitting at a quiet café. Sometimes, doing nothing in a beautiful place is the best way to feel it.' As for his next adventures? 'A road trip through the Scottish Highlands or spending a whole month exploring Italy, town by town — that's on my list.'

Neel Samarthh: People are more inclined towards showing off now rather than maintain privacy
Actor Neel Samarthh, known for his roles in Tera Kya Hoga Alia, Waaris, Kundali Bhagya, and Sapnon Ki Chalang, is currently seen in Sabse Bada Rupaiya. He says that while people often talk about the need for privacy, social media is a platform that is often used to show off your personal life. The actor who will soon be seen in the web series Rose Garden, adds that people often post so much content just to talk about their achievements, routine and where they are currently. 'I feel that people nowadays are more inclined towards showing off. It honestly saddens me that many have lost touch with the essence of being wise. There's a growing sense of pretentiousness constantly posting countless stories and sharing every detail of their daily routine and whereabouts. What they often don't realize is that such overexposure could one day lead to serious consequences,' he says. He adds that he has seen this happen even with his close friends. 'I've seen this firsthand with some friends who have done reality shows. After coming out, they've started posting things that neither make sense nor serve any real purpose. I do understand, though, that for many, it has become an addiction, an endless cycle of seeking validation. But in the long run, this could seriously affect their mental well-being. I just hope people become aware of this before it's too late. I also have people around me who are completely broke and deeply unhappy in real life, yet their social media tells a completely different story, one of joy, success, and perfection. It's heartbreaking to witness. I genuinely wish I could tell them to stop chasing fake attention and instead focus on discovering what truly brings them peace and soulful happiness,' he says. Talking about himself, he says, 'If I talk about myself, I genuinely believe in real things. I don't want my life to be an illusion created for social media. I know some people might say I don't post regularly or that I'm not very active online but honestly, my real life matters more to me than putting on a show for the internet. I don't want to show off; I want to live in the moment, feel nature, and truly experience life. Every moment I spend with myself, I want it to be authentic. ' The actor adds that being active on social media isn't really the only way to do well in the industry. 'People often say that to get work, it's important to constantly showcase yourself on social media. I partially agree with that, but not entirely. If that were completely true, then every influencer would've already become an actor or a star. There's more to success than just visibility; it's about depth, talent, and staying true to who you are,' he says.

Aadesh Chaudhary on the harsh realities of showbiz; says ‘Not being active on social media has cost me projects'
Actor Aadesh Chaudhary, known for his performances in hit TV shows like Sasural Simar Ka, Laagi Tujhse Lagan, and recent web series Chitta Ve and Sabse Bada Rupaiya, has been in the entertainment industry for over a decade. In a candid reflection on the rapidly shifting landscape of showbiz, Aadesh opens up about how the rules of the game have changed—and not always for the better. 'I've lost multiple projects just because I'm not very active on Instagram or Twitter,' Aadesh reveals. 'Today, casting is no longer just about your acting reel. It's about your reach, your reels, your follower count. It's frustrating when your craft takes a backseat to your social media game.' He also expresses disappointment in the stagnancy of Indian television content. 'TV is stuck in a loop—the same kitchen politics, the same clichés. I took a break because I was no longer growing as an actor. OTT gave me the opportunity to play intense, real characters—like in Chitta Ve, where I played a police officer. That's the kind of storytelling I want to be a part of.' However, he acknowledges that breaking into OTT comes with its own set of hurdles. 'There have been times I doubted myself deeply. Rejections became so frequent and random that I started thinking something was wrong with me—until I realized it was more about fitting a digital trend than actual talent.' Talking about a recent setback, Aadesh shared the emotional toll of an unexpected cancellation. 'Maitree went off-air unexpectedly. These days, the longevity of shows is highly uncertain. As actors, we pour our hearts into our roles, and when a show is pulled abruptly, it feels like a piece of us is lost.' He also stressed the importance of mental well-being in an industry that can be brutal. 'This world can break you if you let it. There's so much comparison, so much waiting, so much silence. Meditation, workouts, and staying close to my roots have helped me stay grounded. But I know not everyone finds it that easy.' Aadesh also touched upon the shallow judgment actors often face. 'I've faced criticism for my looks and style. The obsession with physical image needs to reduce. I'd rather be cast for my ability to deliver than how many brands I wear.' Despite the challenges, Aadesh holds onto his passion with grace. 'This isn't a rant—it's the truth. I still love acting and I'm proud of my journey. But young actors deserve to know it's not all lights and glamour. It's a grind. A lonely, brutal, but also beautiful grind.'
