Vaquar Shaikh, who is currently seen in Anupama, says while there are benefits to being a public figure, there are certain disadvantages too that come with it. Elaborating his points, he said, “The best thing about being a public figure or a celebrity is that most of the time you get your work done in both the public and private sectors very easily. You get treated well, and that's about it, but it also depends on that celebrity and that public figure, how they behave publicly. If their behavior is humble, then only will they get the advantage of being treated nicely by the public.”
He continued, “But being a celebrity, you're being judged all the time, what you wear, and how you look. Sometimes I don't want to do my hair, I don't want to shave, and I want to live like a normal guy and have chai at a nukkad, but I can’t. Many times people see me and say, ‘Why are you standing here?’ So it gets a little difficult at times, but then that's part and parcel of being in the public eye and being an actor, where people know you and love you so much.”
Further he opened up about striking a balance between his personal and professional life, and shared, “When I'm at work, I work. And luckily for me and my family, it doesn't bother me much when I am at work, and similarly, when I am at home, I don't discuss my work, or carry my professional work or my profession home. So, there are two different worlds that I live in, and they are actually two different people. You see a different Vaquar when I am at work because I am with my colleagues, and there's a certain way I need to behave, be there, and conduct myself.”
“At home, I'm a father to my kids and a husband to my wife. I try and be honest at both places, so when you're honest, you don't have to try anything, you just need to be you, and there's nothing that you need to hide and there's nothing that you need to put on, and sometimes you're expected to do some extra because you're you, so when you're you, you don't need to try. Be as natural and flawless as you can,” he added.
Addressing the gap he had taken in his television career, Vaquar stated, “I started as a model, and I immediately got a lot of campaigns. In television also, very quickly and easily, I got shows one after the other. They were all hit shows. But yes, I did face hardships when I took a break after 7-8 years from television. I didn't want to work for one and a half years, and getting back was a little difficult. I was not getting the right role. I had to wait. That was the only difficulty I faced.” “Not that I was frustrated, depressed, sad, or upset. But getting the right role was a hardship. It took me 6-7 months to get the right role,” he concluded.
For the unversed, Vaquar Shaikh plays the role of Yashdeep Dhillon and an ally of Anupama in the show. He is the brother of Yashpal and is a retired army officer who is looking after his brother’s restaurant Spice and Chutney in USA.
