Actor Tiku Talsania has left audiences in splits with his rib-tickling performances in comedy classics like Andaz Apna Apna, Ishq, Jodi No. 1 and Partner, to name a few. He has even shared the screen with big names, including Shah Rukh Khan in Devdas. Currently, he is seen in the Gujarati web series What The Fafda. However, Tiku Talsania labels himself as “slightly Jobless” and explains it due to the changing dynamics in the entertainment industry.
In an interview with The Indian Express, Tiku Talsania said, “Gone are the times where there used to be formula films with cabaret dance, two love songs, and the comedian coming and doing his bit and going away. That all has changed now. It is become story-oriented. So unless and until you become a part of the story or you get to play a character of a person whose story is knitted with the story, you don’t get work. I am slightly jobless right now. I want to work, but the right kinds of roles are not coming my way.”
However, the actor said that he is not sitting idle and is constantly looking for quality roles. With the support of his agent and a dedicated team scouting scripts and opportunities, he stays engaged in the process. If a role is suggested, he willingly auditions if required. He acknowledges that the industry has evolved over time, and the COVID-19 pandemic brought about significant changes. “Now, people are becoming sharper and more progressive. It’s become beautiful, and I like the way we have to approach work now,” he said. The actor mentioned that he is sending out feelers: “I am an actor looking for work.” He is ready to take on a suitable role if he gets it.
Moreover, while Tiku Talsania has been part of some successful Bollywood films, the actor said that he does not look back and just takes on work as it comes but acknowledges, “I have had a great time. I’ve been lucky. I’ve enjoyed my time so far, and I hope to keep enjoying my work, keep the show on.”
Meanwhile, Tiku Taksania’s latest series, What The Fafda, is streaming on ShemarooMe. It also stars Pratik Gandhi, Sanjay Goradia, Shraddha Dangar, Niilam Panchal, Ishani Dave, Parth Parmar, Dhruvin Kumar, Viraj Ghelani, and other incredible actors.
