Sandit Kumar, the lead actor in Mi Aaji Aur Saheb, was destined to be an actor. After studying engineering, Sandit veered his life into television due to his love for acting. He admits that it was his love for the art and a little bit of good fortune that lured him towards television.

Playing the role of Saheb in Mi Aaji Aur Saheb, that explores the essence of relationships between a grandmother, her grandchild and their Saheb, Sandit admits that he loves every minute of being on television. “My parents get calls from their friends and acquaintances saying they have seen me on TV. It makes them really happy and that in turn makes it worth my while,” he says.

Sandit, originally from Chandigarh, came to Mumbai a year ago. “My parents wanted me to take up engineering which I did, but at the same time, I also pursued dancing classes with Shiamak Davar’s group and joined acting classes. It was always my first love, although I believe that one should have a sound educational background to fall back on,” he says.

The actor who spent a few months in Pune before entering the dreams says that it took him little time to fall in love with Mumbai. “I knew instantly that this is where I belonged. It teaches me a thing or two every day and I love every minute of it,” he gushes. Sandit confesses that he has been lucky in his struggle to make it in the entertainment business. “I know of actors who have struggled for years together to get a role. I thank my stars that my journey was a rather smooth one,” he concludes.
