Tik said there was a lack of work due to the changing times in Bollywood, where stylized films were replaced by story-driven films. “Gone are the days of the usual cabaret dance, a couple of love songs, and a comedian coming and going and going away. That’s all changed now. It’s all about the story. So unless you can be part of the story or play the character of someone who is built into the story, you won’t get a job. I’m a little unemployed right now (smile). I want to work, but I don’t have a suitable position. ”

The situation has changed over time, but patience is required. After COVID-19, the working principle has collapsed. Now people are more astute and more progressive. Very I’ve become more beautiful and I like the way I approach work now. I’m waiting for people to call me. I’m also sending out the feeling that I’m an actor looking for work. So if there’s a role that suits me, I’d love to do it. That’s our approach,” Tiku added in the same interview.
