Sagar Parekh is over the moon these days. His TV show "Tera Yaar Hoon Main" recently clocked 250 episodes and with this milestone, he too completed 50 successful episodes in the show. But these are not the only reason for celebration. The young actor is also celebrating passing his graduation with flying colours.
Talking about the three achievements that happened simultaneously, he said, "It's definitely a triple achievement for me, and apart from being glad and grateful about it I think the whole process that I went through all these years was a celebration in itself. Though it was not at all easy, I thoroughly enjoyed the process, and that's the best part. I love challenges and educating myself while making a stable career in the acting field was a challenge for me, but I celebrated each and every moment of it."
"Education is very important not just in my profession, but any given profession you can think of because education makes you stand out of the box, it makes you aware of things that you weren't aware of and it helps you in handling all the challenges and the situation you will face in your life. And it feels great to be a graduate. I had limited time, limited resources, and I had only one thing in my mind that I had to use them to the maximum. I had my blindfolds on and I just went ahead with that as my focus. And finally, I am a graduate and I am doing well in the acting field too," the B.Com graduate added.
While he is excited about the show completing 250 episodes, Sagar confessed that he was a little apprehensive initially because he didn't know how the audience would react to his character.
He said, "When I joined the show it had almost completed 200 episodes and it was doing really well. It was one show that I really wanted to make a mark on because whether it be a spot boy or an actor or the director or the production team, every single person is really honest. Even after the 200 episodes, I saw a hunger in them of doing well in each and every moment of their work life."
"In fact, it was a challenge for me because everybody was so good in their work that after 200 episodes I had a question in my mind that whether I will be good enough to make a mark in the show or not. But I gave my best and I have completed 50 episodes already. I am glad that people loved my character and are still loving it. And it's not only the audience but even the makers and the team I am working with have appreciated my work. And because of that every day that I go back home from work I have a good sleep," he added.
"Tera Yaar Hoon Main" went on-air on August 31, 2020, almost over two months after the shooting restrictions were lifted during the first nationwide COVID-19 lockdown. There were a few other shows too that went on-air during the same time but were pulled down because of low viewership. Considering the scenario, when asked if it gives him a sense of accomplishment, he said, " A sense of success does come but it's more like a sense of appreciation because we all are going through really tough times. The shows that went off-air weren't bad but it was just the fate of time that everybody was going through."
"It's more of a sense of gratitude I have because the world is giving you something in return at this moment even when everybody is going through a really tough time," Sagar concluded.
