Hiten Tejwani Says Long Hours Have Shaped His Success And New Perspective

MUMBAI- Actor Hiten Tejwani recently reflected on the intense work schedules during the peak era of daily soaps and also highlighted how the experience shaped his approach towards work and life.

The actor recalled the years of his early career when he would often work for extremely long hours and hardly prioritized sleep or anything else.

He noted, “There was a time when I used to work for eighteen to nineteen hours a day. Back then, I was extremely passionate about my work and did not think about anything else. I hardly slept. I just kept working. That hard work is the reason I am sitting here today and giving this interview.”

He further mentioned that now, after more than two decades in the industry, he has a different perspective.

“However, after working like that for many years, you reach a stage where you begin to value balance. Today, I prefer working within reasonable hours because I also want time for rest, family, and other aspects of life. But I still give my best during those working hours.”

To aspiring actors, Hiten said, “My advice would be to stay practical. First understand your strengths and weaknesses. Work on your weaknesses and keep improving yourself. Whenever you are selected for a project, make sure you fully understand your character and the entire story.”

Hiten rose to fame in the early 2000s with his role as Karan Virani in the iconic television show ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.’

Around the same time, he also gained immense popularity through the show ‘Kutumb’, which became a major hit among audiences.

It was on the sets of ‘Kutumb’ that Hiten fell in love with co-star Gauri Pradhan. The couple later got married and are now proud parents to teenage twins. (IANS)
