Abrar Qazi: TV's steady role over film uncertainty

Abrar Qazi, who gained recognition with "Laila Majnu" and "The Family Man," has established a consistent career in television. After his initial projects, the actor experienced a prolonged waiting period for new opportunities in films and web series. This uncertainty led him to accept his first television show, "Gathbandhan," which brought him to Mumbai and anchored his career there.

Qazi consciously chose television for its steadier work prospects compared to the volatile film and OTT industries. He has often been a close contender for digital projects, only to lose out due to factors like an actor's visibility or public relations. This experience has made him appreciate the reliability of television work. His philosophy remains centered on the platform being secondary to receiving and performing good, meaningful roles, a principle inspired by actors like Irrfan Khan and Manoj Bajpayee. He is currently appearing in "Tu Hi Re Dil Mein."
