the god which I cannot bear Stage and television are entirely different from each other They both have their own challenges and advantages alsoâHe added âOn stage the biggest advantage is that you just have to do it once and then itâs over but on TV you have to keep on doing it for hours as shifts are for 12 hours and putting on the costume and wig for 12 hours is challengingââSometimes the scenes are shot for over one day but in theatre itâs just one take in front of more than 2000 people which is the biggest challenge Obviously performing on stage is more satisfying and I love that moreâTarun also shares his take on the public image of an actor which is always scrutinisedâI agree that our image is under scanner and one must behave and one should be very mindful of what we are saying which should not set a wrong example This is not only for me but for all the actors who have some kind of influence on peopleâ the actor concluded IANS
