The Grueling Schedule of Daily Soap Actors
In a revealing conversation, Sachin Tyagi detailed the exhausting routine that comes with working on a daily soap. He described a typical day where actors arrive on set at 9 AM and often leave after 9 PM, constantly racing against the clock. "You are tired. You don't get enough sleep. You come to the set at 9. You leave after 9. You are constantly running against the clock," he said.

Finding Happiness in Passionate Work
Sachin Tyagi's perspective remains grounded as he finds joy in his profession. He believes in embracing gratitude for the opportunity to pursue his passion. "I try to find happiness wherever I go. This is what I wanted to do, and when I am getting to do what I am passionate about, why complain? Be grateful," he added, highlighting his resilient attitude towards the demanding nature of the industry.
Praise for Rajan Shahi's Vision and Dedication
Having spent nine years on Rajan Shahi's long-running show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Sachin Tyagi now finds his role in Anupama to be a refreshing change. He was quick to credit producer Rajan Shahi for his unparalleled commitment and vision. "Rajan ji's passion is driving the show. He is so madly in love and invested in this. His vision and his passion are beyond comparison. There is no parallel," Sachin remarked. He further praised Rajan for not only investing financially but also emotionally, adding, "I have not seen a producer like him, who not only puts his money but also his heart, soul, and sweat into making a show. And that is one of the reasons his shows are so successful."
Applauding Co-Star Rupali Ganguly's Dedication
Sachin Tyagi also expressed admiration for his co-star Rupali Ganguly, who portrays the titular character in Anupama. He commended her unwavering hard work and passion even after six years on the show. "She is unbelievable. Even after six years, she works so hard. The kind of drive she has and the kind of passion she has, it's unimaginable," he said. Sachin believes that Rupali was born to play Anupama, noting, "She is Anupama, and Anupama is her. Even before I joined Anupama, when I watched the show it felt that Rupali was born to play Anupama."
Connecting with Audiences Through Relatable Content
Sachin Tyagi attributes the deep connection Anupama has with viewers to its reflection of real-life situations and societal issues. He observed that audiences have become more receptive to relatable and meaningful content. "I think the valuable lessons of life are incorporated together. There are many family values in the series. It's encouraging, inspiring, and entertaining at the same time," he explained. Sachin added that the show addresses topics not commonly discussed, and audiences are now willing to accept these messages, concluding, "And they do give out messages around issues that are not talked about every once in a while, and now the audience has also become willing to accept those messages or lessons through the show."
