Sarbjit Actor Trishaan Maini Opens Up On Industry Struggle: ‘I Don’t Fit Into All The Roles’ – News18

Trishaan Maini rose to fame for his portrayal of Maninder in Omang Kumar’s film Sarbjit (2016). He shared the screen with Randeep Hooda, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Richa Chadha. Transitioning to television, he has appeared in shows like Bahot Pyar Karte Hai and Lag Jaa Gale. In a recent interview, Trishaan candidly discussed the challenges he faces due to his unconventional appearance and more.

In an interview with ETimes TV, Trishaan shared, “I have very unconventional looks. I don’t fit into any role. I don’t fit into every character. And for me to get a good role is hard. Because of my unconventional looks, I don’t fit into any regular roles. So that is a struggle for me. But that is what it is. I mean, I can’t change my look. This is the way I am. If someone wants to take me, they will. My job is to act. If I perform well, I mean, if he or she thinks that this guy deserves it, that’s their decision.”

He further revealed that facing rejections and challenges is very common in the entertainment industry. He mentions instances where he thought he had a role secured, only for things to change suddenly before filming. Trishaan accepts that these decisions are often kept private by the production team, and he usually doesn’t dwell on them too much.
