Saajha Sindoor actor Nasirr Khan believes actors must keep up with changing times: If you want to stay relevant, you should participate

MUMBAI : Nasirr Khan, known for playing Amitabh Bachchan's son in Baghban, is currently winning hearts with his role in Sun Neo's popular show Saajha Sindoor. While he once portrayed Bachchan’s son, Nasirr now plays Jaswant, the father of Gagan (played by Sahil Uppal) in Saajha Sindoor. The seasoned actor recently discussed how actors must adapt to the changing times and why it's essential to do so.

He shared, "I was away from the industr    y for a long time, and that was entirely my decision. There's no point in blaming others for not getting work—it's about our own actions. If something is meant for me, I will get it, just like I got Saajha Sindoor. We need to keep up with the times. If social media and Instagram reels are what's trending, then we should adapt and be active there. There's nothing wrong with that. If you want to stay relevant, you should participate; otherwise, you can’t complain about not getting work."

The Saajha Sindoor actor further explained, "The issue is that we consider ourselves senior actors. But why should we? An artist is an artist, whether senior or junior. What matters is the character you play. Just because someone has been in the industry for 20 or 30 years doesn’t mean they automatically deserve respect. The problem lies with the actors, not with the younger ones who may not know who we are. If someone asks what I’ve done, it’s my responsibility to achieve more so people recognize me. Big stars like Salman Khan or Shah Rukh Khan aren’t asked this because they’ve made a name for themselves. If I'm being asked, it means I need to do more."

Nasirr Khan is paired with Sangita Ghosh, who plays Saroj in Sun Neo’s Saajha Sindoor. The show revolves around Phooli (Stuti Goyal), a young woman who becomes an unmarried widow after her groom dies on their wedding day. It explores her struggles and the impact they have on those around her. Saajha Sindoor, airing on Sun Neo from Monday to Saturday at 8:00 PM, features a talented cast, including Sangita, Sahil Uppal, Neelu Vaghela, and Krutika Desai.
