Amit Sadh turned 37 yesterday. Three weeks in a Himalayan forest have changed Amit Sadh’s perspective on life. Recently he said that, “I am either trekking, hiking or riding with people who are not from the industry, but this year, it was just another day for me.” The actor spent the lockdown in the Himalayas and recently returned to the city. “I was in Mukteshwar, where I had been going camping for two months since I was five, with a couple of friends. A few more friends were to join us there for a trekking trip, but before they could leave their homes, lockdown was enforced.”
Describing his adventures he told, “For three weeks, we were in a forest, with no electricity, network or another human for about five km. We lived in a tent and had to walk half a kilometre to get food. I saw a sight of bird bathing and watched the sun rise and set every day.”
These three months have changed his perspective on life. “Before this, everything I did was about films only, be it diet, training or relationships. Even watching a movie was a technical process as I was desperate to establish myself as an actor. Some good also came out of it, but now, that ambition is gone. I am not running away from my career and I am still as hardworking. Fundamentally I am still the same, just calmer,” the actor points out, saying ironically, he is the most certain in these uncertain times. “If you ask me what I want to do right now, I’d say, go to Goa, open a cafe, serve coffee and live a normal life. Hopefully, I will also open a café in Mumbai in the next six months. I don’t want to be a star and want to focus on small things, like maybe write or do a podcast with friends.”
But what about films? “Right now, I have no work to do, but I’m not stressed out. I am an actor, not a factory chasing targets. If I get a good script and character, I’ll do it. But right now, Goa plan is the only thing on my mind,” he added.
