Pratik Sehajpal on his acting journey

When asked whether his reality TV image makes it difficult for people to take him seriously as an actor, Sehajpal says it depends on how one approaches their career. He believes his work has given audiences a chance to see another side of him. “I think everyone recognises me as an actor now more than a reality show contestant,” he says. He adds, “I think I have done enough of acting for me to not be a reality show contestant only.”
