Actor Quits TV for Films, Returns After Industry 'Lobby' Frustration
29 Nov
Summary
- Actor Kuldeep Singh returns to TV after a three-year hiatus.
- He left television to explore films and start a production house.
- Singh found the film industry challenging due to a 'strong lobby'.
Kuldeep Singh, known for his roles in shows like CID and Vighnaharta Ganesh, is returning to television after a three-year absence. He is now part of the popular family drama Anupamaa, where he plays Professor Diwakar. Singh initially left television in 2022 to explore other mediums and launched his own production house, successfully producing 18 vertical series.
His foray into films and web series revealed a challenging 'lobby system' that proved difficult to break into. This experience, coupled with a growing distance from his acting craft, inspired his return to television. Singh realized the wide reach of the medium, recalling how audiences still remember his portrayal of Vishnu.
In Anupamaa, Singh's character is a married professor who develops an unreciprocated attraction to his student, Rahi. The storyline explores the family's suspicion regarding the professor's repeated visits to Rahi's home, despite her maintaining appropriate boundaries.
