“TV Gives You Instant Fame And Regular Money, But No Work Satisfaction”

After acting in section 377 Gulshan Nain is all set to star as a straight, struggling actor in MX player’s upcoming web series. He had a small chit-chat with Telly Chaska, where he shared his experience during the shoot.

what is the web series about?
‘Only For Singles’. The show captures the lives of six single individuals and their friendship, struggles and insane jugaads in a new city.

The role of Gulshan Nain in the web series?
The series is about the lives of 6 single people, the struggles they face in a city like Mumbai. My role is of a struggling actor, who is very innocent and impulsive. He will do anything for his friends. He acts before he thinks and is a very lovable character.

What do you want to say about your single life?
It depends on person to person. I am a family-oriented guy. So I like commitments, I like to be in a relation, so being single doesn’t suit me.

Your last web series was all about section 377 was mindblowing and Gulshan also gets great compliant till date?
Yes, I am lucky to be a part of its 2 seasons. It has been a hit series and I still get so many emotional messages every day from all around the country and, in fact, from other countries too. It feels good to have done a series that has touched so many hearts.

Your first love? A TV show or web series?
They both have their pros and cons. The TV gives you instant fame and regular money, but no work satisfaction, whereas a web series is made somewhat like a movie. The content, quality and the standard of web series is very high, so you get to do a lot of stuff which you can’t do on TV. For me, work satisfaction is more important, so I prefer web series over TV.

Your career goal?
Acting is a never-ending process and I think I am heading in the right direction with the work that I have been doing. I just want to keep growing as an actor and keep doing quality work.
