Actor Manjot Singh best known for his stint in the Fukrey series, admits that he has been slated as a comedic actor, despite his endeavours being otherwise. Manjot started his career in 2008 with Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, and went on to do roles in movies such as Dream Girl series, Student Of The Year series, and the recently releasedWild Wild Punjab. As the actor completes 15 years in the industry, he admits he wishes to try new things.

Talking about his journey he says, "It’s been a splendid journey so far as an actor. The industry has been kind. It is like a dream come true, a dream that I had not even dreamt. I'm very happy but not satisfied. Because I think the day satisfaction comes it would be full stop for me."

"I want to try new things. I want to do so much. I feel the industry has only seen one side of mine. I have so much more to show. (But) That is only possible when I get something new. I am (still) waiting," he confesses.

Does that deter the actor? No. He reasons, "Sabke saath hota hai. Industry mein perception ban jaata hai. Forget actors even directors face the same thing. If they have made a comedy film, producers don’t offer them a serious film. They want the director to give them a hit film. Industry aisi hi chalti hai. You need to convince makers. So breaking that perception is quite tough. But main laga hua hoon. I know what I can do. I am not a comedy actor. In fact. I don’t know how to do comedy. I have been lucky. I just know the timing. I am not a comedian; I am a serious actor."

While the actor is striving to get a serious role, one such role that he remembers losing out was late actor Sushant Singh Rajput-starrer Chhichhore. "I was supposed to get locked for Chhichhore. I felt bad when it didn’t work out. It was a good film, my role was not the comedic one. It was of a bully. That is the only film I regret losing," he signs off.
