Exclusive - Moon Banerrjee: Being an actor would require many rainy days and one needs to be strong

Moon Banerrjee, who has been part of shows like Chashme Baddoor, Abhimaan, Ghar Ek Mandir, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Muskaan, Sasural Simar Ka 2, and Doree, agrees that being an actor comes with its own challenges, like work uncertainty, however, she has fed it into her system and understands that it’s a part of the job.She said, “It's an organic part of my life so I never felt that way. Acting is my passion so it drives me to do other things. But I am happy in my personal space if I am working.”“During the early days of my journey as an actor I have chipped in my system that being an actor would require many rainy days and one needs to be strong enough to deal with it so yes not being consistent does affect many things but that's a part and parcel of the profession,” she added.And Moon revealed that the biggest challenge would be cracking a deal with the right amount of money and role. But even then she has never thought of giving up acting.She said, “I don't see myself not performing as acting is my biggest joy and love.”She also confessed that she has never questioned her career choice and said that she has never lost faith in herself. She further said, “And the almighty helps me stay strong and I keep feeding my faith more and starving my fear.”“However, of late the working conditions, the dip in the commercials, the meaty roles going to less competent ones, and I have also heard that people now cast actors as per their social media followers so that makes me question as an actor about the investment that we have made over the years polishing the skill is kind of not valued,” Moon concluded.
