Actor Saurabh Shukla, a two-decade veteran of the industry, believes success shouldn't be tied to expensive cars or material possessions. He draws a clear distinction between personal choices and professional worth, saying they should never be confused.
While he enjoys the finer things in life, Shukla insists they shouldn't define him as an actor. He prefers to be known for his work and talent rather than his lifestyle.
The 63-year-old actor acknowledges the importance of PR in the industry but believes it has its limitations. He says PR can't replace the work itself and that audiences stay for what's on screen, not just hype.
Unlike many of his contemporaries, Shukla has largely stayed away from a constant, personality-driven PR machinery. He's had a personal PR only project-to-project, but it never stopped him from being known and connecting with his work.
