Actor-model Baseer Ali credits reality television for giving him exposure and helping him bring out his real self.

He is currently playing a parallel lead in Kundali Bhagya and enjoying his acting stint, although he still plans to take part in reality shows.

Actor-model Baseer Ali feels his reality television experience helped him carve a career in the industry.

“Reality television has turned the tables for aspiring youngsters like me. It gives the right amount of exposure and helps you to bring out your real self. When I did my first reality show, I had no idea about the kind of audience it had. But, these shows do have substantial youth following and my social media account is proof of this,” says the winner of Splitsvilla 10 and finalist of Ace of Space 2.

With his foray into television, Ali finds constant complaints about TV being the most demanding medium, a bit hyped. “See, all mediums are taxing and demanding in their own way. So, singling out television is totally incomprehensible. In fact, it has changed me a lot. I have become more responsible while shooting for my first fiction series. I have learnt to follow deadlines, reporting timely on sets and staying disciplined in my daily life too. I want to make the most of this chance. Playing parallel lead on such a large-scale medium will surely be a game changer for me. Now, it has been a couple of months and I am getting a good response from the loyal TV audience as well.”
