Talent Over Looks: Unveiling Acting's Real Key to Success

Actor Pratiek Pachori emphasizes the importance of training and skills in acting over looks or social media presence. During a workshop, he urged aspiring actors to gain structured training. The event, organized by Prime Habitare, aimed to help talents outside Mumbai access professional acting guidance.

Actor Pratiek Pachori, renowned for his roles in popular series like 'Panchayat' and 'Paatal Lok,' highlights the essence of training and skills in the acting world, overshadowing physical appearance or online clout. Hosting an acting session during the 'Actor Within' workshop, he shared insights on excelling in acting, held near Rundal in the Aravali hills.

Addressing the pressures of the acting industry, Pachori shared with the media the often-prevailing misconception that looks or Instagram popularity suffice for success. Urging budding actors to pursue structured training, he reflected on his journey from theatre training in 2008 to experiencing years of struggle in Mumbai before his breakthrough in 2019's 'Panchayat.'

Prime Habitare, led by Akash Gaur, orchestrated the event to bridge talent from areas outside Mumbai with professional readiness, acknowledging the competition yet abundant opportunity for trained actors. Casting director Navneet Ranga emphasized learning acting before diving into the competitive landscape, citing training as paramount for a thriving career.
