An Exclusive Interview With Talented Actor Suraj Gowda
I recently had the chance to interview model turned Actor Suraj Gowda, who started his career in the Kannada film industry after winning Zee Kannada’s reality show ‘Paradeshadalli Paradata’.
Tanya Fontes: How does one go about getting into the acting business?
Suraj Gowda: I believe one must know the art of acting first. Just good looks would not take you there. It’s a mixture of a well-groomed personality and acting skills.
Tanya Fontes: What are some of the difficulties of the acting business?
Suraj Gowda: If you come from a background where no one belongs to the industry, the most difficult thing is to figure out the right path to be an actor.
Tanya Fontes: Is it true that you have to change yourself to be accepted into the entertainment business?
Suraj Gowda: I personally think you don’t need to change, but professionally, grooming is required to live up to the trends right now.
Tanya Fontes: About how long is the average amount of time before an actor actually gets a job?
Suraj Gowda: Being at the right place at the right time is all it takes.
Tanya Fontes: What kind of things should an aspiring actor be involved in to prepare themselves for this field of work?
Suraj Gowda: Acting, dancing, fighting, staying fit ~ and most importantly ~ the willingness to do whatever it takes to reach your goal!
Tanya Fontes: Is it hard to find your genre of acting?
Suraj Gowda: Not really. Probably after a movie or two, you can choose the genre you want to work in.
Tanya Fontes: What is a good age to begin to pursue your acting career?
Suraj Gowda: As early as possible, because the more experienced you are at your craft, the chances of making it increase.
Tanya Fontes: What advice would you give to someone aspiring to become an actor?
Suraj Gowda: Believe in yourself and don’t give up. One day the people who didn’t believe in you will tell everyone how they know you.
Here’s wishing Actor Suraj Gowda the very best for his latest release, a romantic comedy entertainer ~ Madhuveya Mamatheya Kareyole!
