Aanchal Khurana, who has been a part of the industry for more than a decade, recently highlighted the growing mental pressure on actors. According to her, the growing pressure of working in the entertainment industry may have contributed to the challenges Sanchita Ugale was facing.On Monday, the actress took to her Instagram, and shared a video of herself, as she pointed out the issues that actors face in the industry.She said, “Another actor has committed suicide. It’s a 30 year old organization. The channel needs TRP, the producer needs to save budget and the audience needs entertainment. But have you ever thought about what an actor goes through? One small thing, replacement. If you don’t sleep with someone, then replacement. If you argue with someone and save your self-respect, then replacement. Or your days will be cut. Have you ever thought about what an actor is going through? Or the people who are committing suicide on influencers. Every morning we wake up with hope”.She further mentioned in the video that the channel and producers are only bothered about making money, and don’t care about the actors.She went on to say, “We give auditions, and every evening after comparison and rejection, we go to sleep. Everyone says, ‘Be strong’. But no one tells you how long you have to be strong. And how many times you have to be strong. And as far as channel producers are concerned, they are the most selfish people. They don’t see anything above their profit and benefits. Trust me, it has happened to me too. If your audition is good, you are a performer. But they will still reject you for 1000 rupees. 1000 rupees. Or you are not ready to give a line to someone”.Aanchal further added, “You are not ready to do anything with someone. They will replace you. That is so easy for them. I request you all. Whenever you feel that life is over. Nothing will happen now. Please go home. That’s exactly what I do. Right now I am in Delhi with my parents. Because I was also under a lot of pressure and stress. I will eat this depression alone. And trust me, neither the producer nor the channel will benefit. They are the most selfish people. Please stay close to your family.”Several TV actors and co-actors of Sanchita took to their social media accounts to mourn the tragic demise of the young actress. Celebrities like Megha Chapekar, Sorab Bedi, Megha Sharma, Jyostna Chandola shared their condolences on social media.For the uninitiated, Sanchita Ugale, who was known for ‘Kumkum Bhagya’, reportedly passed away by suicide.
