Jay Bhanushali on his 15 years break from TV
Jay Bhanushali made his debut in Indian television in the 2000s and went on to do some of the biggest shows. However, he eventually took a break from the fiction world and began anchoring for various shows. Now, after almost 15 years, Jay is returning to the daily soap, Hum Rahe Na Rahe Hum, opposite Tina Datta. Explaining why he was missing from the TV shows as an actor, Jay said:
“Because I was anchoring, I could afford to be a little choosy and do selective work. Whatever work I have done till now, none of my shows has not worked or done very badly. As an actor, it’s your responsibility that if you feel on paper only if the show is not gonna work, let’s not take it because you spoil your name. I want to keep my name in such a way that if I’m coming and doing a show, people should say that ye zyada to aata nahi hai so is show mein kuch to baat hogi.”
