Every actor who comes to the industry struggles in the beginning. From doing odd jobs to surviving on one meal a day, there are many celebrities who have endured a dark past before finding success. Today, we will talk about one such actor, Saanand Verma. A decade ago, Saanand Verma was relatively unknown to the public. But since 2015, he has become a familiar face in every household, thanks to his role in the hit comedy show Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain.
However, while today he is known for his versatile performances, there was a time when he had to face many highs and lows in life. In an interview with IANS, Verma revealed that there were days when buying simple Diwali essentials like diyas was a luxury for his family. He said, “My mother lit an incense stick instead. I was sad back then, but today, I’ve left that negativity behind. Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha have blessed me, and I truly believe that faith can help you overcome any darkness.”
He further added, “Diwali is not just about being grateful once a year. Gratitude should be part of every day, every moment. I don’t wait for Diwali to thank God — I do it every day for all that I’ve been blessed with. Even if you’re depressed or going through a hard time, the light of Diwali reminds you that darkness doesn’t last forever. It fills us with hope, optimism, and goodness.”
Coming to Saanand Verma’s work front, his film debut was with Mardaani, and for television, he began his career in 2009 with the serial Yeh Chanda Kanoon Hai. He has also featured in popular shows like Lapataganj, CID, FIR, and more.
