Shahab Ali, who gained popularity playing the antagonist on the web show, The father of the family, reveals he still hasn’t signed on for his next project. With only nasty roles to come, the actor is worried about being cataloged.

“It’s really sad that people contact me for similar roles. I just hope someone sees the versatility in me and offers me a different kind of role. I’ve played all kinds of styles of actor, from realist to larger than life in the theater, ”Ali tells us.

He continues: “People appreciated my role as Sajid in The family man, but if I keep playing similar roles, they’ll feel that’s all he can do. But the problem is not with me. I want to make different types of parts.

The Delhi-based actor emphasizes that there is nothing he can do if no one offers him the role, or if he doesn’t even have the opportunity to audition for something different. “It’s not in my hand. I don’t have a sponsor in the industry, nor anyone to guide me. All I can do is hurry up and look for work, ”he says, revealing that he waited patiently for something to come up after the webcast, which also stars Manoj Bajpayee.

“I’m still waiting. I don’t have anything planned at the moment. I hope something will happen because I know it takes time in the industry,” he shares on an optimistic note.

The Delhi-based actor, who sold kites, crackers and even washed bikes before becoming an actor, has certainly come a long way. Ali recently gave his fans a glimpse into his life and struggle on social media, which has garnered a lot of attention.

The actor admits that it was not at all easy to get acquainted with his trip. “I was afraid to share things about my background and my family. It was the first time I opened up, thinking it didn’t matter if people judged me because of my past. But I never imagined it would go viral. What I am today is because of my difficult childhood. I am proud of my career, ”he adds.

Now Ali’s goal is to buy a new home for his family. “I feel like I’ve changed my life, but I couldn’t change my family’s life. They still live in the same neighborhood, with the same problems. When I come back to Trilokpuri in Delhi, where I live, I feel like nothing has changed here, and I feel like I’m living a double life, ”he concludes.
