Mumbai, April 5 (NationPress) The acclaimed actor from 'Anupamaa', Manish Goel, asserts that a healthy competitive spirit significantly boosts performance. He emphasizes the necessity of being in a setting filled with healthy competition, as it encourages actors to evolve and enhance their craft.
According to Manish, "After nearly three decades in the industry, I understand that each individual has their unique interpretation of their character, their lifestyle, and their professional approach. Personally, I tend to be more reserved—self-driven and focused on my own aspirations as an actor and performer. Therefore, while a supportive environment is crucial, I thrive in a competitive setting where everyone strives to excel."
"A healthy competitive spirit undeniably elevates performance. When you recognize that your fellow actor is exceptionally talented, it naturally motivates you to elevate your own performance," he remarked.
When asked about the significance of fostering good chemistry with co-stars both on and off-screen, Manish revealed, "As an actor, I believe that upon entering a set and meeting someone for the first time, your chemistry develops over time."
He shared that he has previously collaborated with 'Anupamaa' co-star Rupali Ganguly on two occasions, stating, "That certainly enhances our scenes and on-screen chemistry. However, even if you aren’t well-acquainted with your co-actor, you must ensure that the on-screen chemistry resonates with the audience."
Manish continued, "Off-screen chemistry is secondary—what is truly important is ensuring that the on-screen chemistry is flawless."
For him, a regular day on set is purely about work. He disclosed, "I consider myself a rather selfish actor when it comes to my character, my appearance, and my preparation for the role—these elements are paramount to me. I am attracted to any role that presents a challenge. In recent years, I have received numerous offers, but I often respond with 'no' because I believe there is greater strength in declining than in accepting."
