I’m an Actor with Limitations, Says Sanjay Gandhi

Sanjay came to Mumbai in 1990. He became an assistant director before moving on to theatre because that was his passion. However, his struggle began at home.

“I did not have my family’s support in the beginning of my career, but my guru Robin Das encouraged me and supported me. Later even my parents had no issues,” he recalled.

“It was tough to become a good actor then, it still is. You need a good mentor to tell you the difference between a hero and an actor. Once you know the difference and understand the nuances of acting, the struggle becomes easy because you first need to understand what acting is. The struggle in this industry is never-ending, so you need to have patience and keep the passion alive if you want to people to know you,” he said.

Sanjay is popularly known for his role of Mahendra Pratap Singhania in the TV show “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai”. He says he has no problems in doing TV or films because he wants to do meaningful roles, be it on any platform.
