“There’s a certain luxury of time in films that you don’t have in TV It’s fast-paced & relentless, but has also taught me….” says actress Elakshi Gupta on the difference between TV and Films

Actress Elakshi Gupta, who has been recognized for her work in music videos and films, recently made her television debut with the show Hamara Parivar. Transitioning from the big screen to TV has been a significant shift for the actress, and she candidly shares her experiences and struggles.

Elakshi shares her opinions about working in both industries she says, “Working for a TV show has always been a dream, but it’s not a cakewalk. While you work for films, you get time to prepare your character, rehearse the scenes, and perfect your performance. But in television, the pace is much faster. I have to shoot for 13 hours straight every day, and sometimes scripts are given on the same day to memorize.”

While the demanding schedule has been a challenge, Elakshi is grateful for the opportunity to grow as an actor. “It has pushed me beyond my comfort zone and helped me elevate my graph as an actor. My character in Hamara Parivar is all about spreading positivity, and that was something I deeply resonated with and said yes to. With my character Sakshi I bring a positive impact as I get to read inspiring stories, and respond to heartfelt letters, and through this role, I hope to bring a smile to the audience’s faces.”

Elakshi also reflects on the stark differences between working in Bollywood and television. “There’s a certain luxury of time in films that you don’t have in TV. It’s fast-paced and relentless, but it’s also taught me resilience. I salute all the actors who’ve been working in TV for years. It’s not as easy as it seems,” concludes Elakshi
