Aditya Deshmukh says, ‘Everything in our lives revolves around shooting, especially for TV actors’!

Time management in the present scenario has become quite a task, says #AdityaDeshmukh. The #ZiddiDilMaaneNa actor shares being guilty as charged because as an actor he too is a part of it because while there is a proper time to arrive on set, there is no fixed time as to when will the shoot get done.

“Everything in our lives revolves around shooting, especially for TV actors. After coming back from the shoot, I just go to bed. I am too tired to do anything else. I don’t think I am able to give enough time to my family and friends at times,” he says.

Everyone is occupied with their respective careers. People who belong to the entertainment industry often complain about shortage of time.

“Yes of course… for me, it is a task to travel to and fro from work daily, but I love my job. People think there is a lot of glamour in our lives, but the reality is different. We also have to sweat it out to stay relevant, keep earning. Not only the people in the entertainment industry, but this also happens with everyone. We are so occupied with our work that we don’t have much time. Most days when I reach home, my family is already asleep,” he adds.

Sundays or offs don’t feel like a holiday now. Thanks to communication tools like mobile phones and social media. “Mobile phones have become a necessity to stay connected. What it has led us to do is communicate with people over the phone or through social media. We have stopped meeting people in person. So technology is a gift and a curse at the same time,” says the actor.

Aditya adds further that earlier children would play cricket and other games, but in today’s time, he has been a witness to how his niece and nephew are always busy on phones and laptops. “The lockdown has ruined childhood. Children are not able to play outdoor sports. At the same time, it does give some kind of knowledge and awareness when children are spending time surfing the internet to learn. Things were simple and better before social media. Today the trend has changed and everything is so digitized,” he rues.

Sharing time management tips that he himself follows, the actor says, “We have to get disciplined again, prioritize work and minimize time on our phones, tabs, laptops, etc. It’s high time we understand the value of living and spending time with our loved ones. Covid has made us realize a lot of things.”
