Sunil Grover: I feel like a debutant with the offers and response to my work

The actor is elated with the reactions to his role in the web show, Tandav, says time will tell if it is a game changer.

Sunil Grover is still basking in the compliments for his performance in the web show, Taandav. The actor says he feels fortunate to receive so much love. “It felt really good a it has come after a while. It was a big deal that people acknowledged my efforts in another kind of setup. Due to my comic background, to be seen and accepted in a different role was a chance for me and thankfully, it paid off,” he exclaims.

Does he think the role is a game changer for him? “Time will tell if people think of me differently or if this turns out to be a gamechanger. But the acceptance gives me immense amount of confidence. I was confident of the role and the show but acting is such an art form that till you don’t get acceptance from the audiences, it isn’t celebrated,” he states.

With the bouquets came brickbats too, as the show was also embroiled in a controversy regarding a scene which was later edited. Grover admits it’s a free world and everyone has an opinion. He wishes the whole show had remained wholesome and the focus had remained just on the show than the controversy, but it was “bitter sweet”.
