Dheeraj Dhoopar on being labeled as a ‘television actor’

In a conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Dheeraj believes a medium cannot define an actor. He said, “I always h a problem with me being called a TV actor. Why? A medium cannot define an actor. I’m just an actor who wants to be part of all mediums simultaneously. I want to do films I want to do OTT, I want to do music albums, I want to do TV everything. I’m not demeaning anything. TV is always been my first love and will always be my first love and I always wanted to switch over to a different medium.“

“Not just for sake of it, I wanted to switch over and I wanted to do as good as what I was doing on TV. I think that took a little longer for me but yes, re is when people were considering me for certain kind of characters but when y thought ‘Okay, I’ve been too exposed to audience being a TV actor’. n I felt b, I mean being exposed I think is a good thing people know you,” ded Kundali Bhagya star.
