Mumbai, March 31 (NationPress) Actor Saqib Ayub, who has garnered significant acclaim for his performance in the theatrical release ‘Superboys of Malegaon’, shared insights about his origins. Although he was born and raised in Mumbai, he acknowledges that his roots from Bihar are an integral part of his identity.
In a recent conversation with IANS, the actor discussed his heritage and his passion for traveling, emphasizing how it enhances his acting skills.
He stated, “I am actually from Mumbai. My origins are from Bihar but I am a proper Mumbai-born lad. But Bihar is in my blood, it can't go anywhere.”
For the past decade, he has been continuously traveling, which has significantly contributed to his craft.
Regarding the impact of travel on his artistry, he mentioned, “It’s very important for me as an actor to travel. I've been traveling regularly for the last eight to nine years, and I think the amount of learning I have received while traveling is a lot. I wouldn't have probably received that much if I kept myself enclosed in Mumbai.”
He added, “If I had kept myself locked up here, I probably wouldn't have learnt so many things. The kind of places that I have been to, whether in India or abroad, along with the diverse people I've met, have enriched my understanding and empathy.”
“You relate to them, and learn from them. Every place has something new to offer. So, I think as an actor, it's very important to travel. I admire one of my favorite actors, Manav Kaul, for his adventurous spirit as he is always exploring somewhere in the world,”
he concluded.
