Rejection is an inevitable part of life, particularly in the acting world. Many aspiring actors face numerous rejections and setbacks, but those who persevere often achieve their dreams. Actor Anshul Pandey, who recently captivated audiences with his performance in the Watcho Exclusives series “Flash,” shared his experiences with rejection, his coping mechanisms, and the invaluable lessons he has learned throughout his career, especially from his time on “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai.” He also candidly discussed whether he ever felt like abandoning his passion for acting.

Facing Rejection Head-On

Reflecting on dealing with rejections, Anshul said, “I don’t dwell on rejection now because it’s something every actor faces more often than getting approvals. But when you do get that approval, that nod, it feels great. One day, someone might not cast me because they think I don’t look right for the part, and the next day, someone might not cast me because they think I look too good for it. But then, someday, they’ll cast me because they think I’m perfect for it. You never really know where things will work out—it’s all about being in the right place at the right time.”

A Versatile Performer in “Flash”

In “Flash,” Anshul portrays Vansh, a fashion photographer with a mysterious past that leads to dramatic twists and turns. While Anshul is often seen in boy-next-door roles on television, he seamlessly transitions into a complex, grey character in this series.

Challenges of Patience in the Acting World

On contemplating giving up on acting, Anshul shared, “Yes, many times. In the entertainment industry, especially for actors, going to set and acting isn’t the only part of the job. There’s another aspect, which is learning to be patient. Firstly, you need patience when auditioning for the right part to come your way. Then, even when you’re on set, like for ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai,’ where there were about 20 main cast members, there are fixed times for your shots. So, there are a lot of times when you’re just sitting in your makeup room waiting. I’m naturally very impatient, so those initial years taught me a lot about patience. It was tough during those times when I was sitting for hours without getting any shots. But I had to understand that it’s not that nobody cares about me waiting; it just takes time dealing with so many actors and scenes.”
