Hello Diksha,

Before we get started you should know that acting as a career isn’t just about performing in movies, but it also includes performing in live theatre productions, in commercials, and on television shows. As you start your career, you may work multiple jobs, such as working as extras in films or TV, to support yourselves financially because as a beginner no one will know much about you and it’s really a lot of struggle to get a good role under a good production company in Bollywood because just like other career options, here’s a lot of competition too.

Although it is not really necessary to have any degree for pursuing acting, but it is better if you have a Bachelorette in theatre arts or drama. You might consider getting admission in National School of Drama, Delhi, many of our great actors are graduated from there. Once you feel you’re done with this training and are ready to go, you will need to attend casting calls for films, often in Mumbai, India. Search for announcements online for casting calls for upcoming Bollywood films. Attend casting calls for parts that fit your physical description and professional training. Try to attend as many casting calls as you can, even for parts that are small because that will increase your visibility among casting directors.

When you go to auditions, always be prepared by practicing your lines beforehand. Perform the lines in a mirror or with an acting coach. Be confident and bold when you practice the lines so that you can give your best shot when you finally give the audition. If you start to gain steam with your auditions and are landing small roles, you may consider hiring a talent agent. A talent agent can help you find roles in Bollywood films that will best showcase your skills as an actor.

I hope my answer clarifies all your queries regarding how to become an Actor or which course to pursue. Any feedback or further queries are warmly welcomed.
