Tiku Talsania says he’s ‘slightly jobless’: ‘Sending out feelers that I’m an actor looking for work’

What: Tiku Talsania, 69-year-old comic actor, who has most famously appeared in films like Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin (1991), Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa (1993), and Ishq (1997), has claimed that he’s now ‘slightly jobless.’ In an interview with The Indian Express, Tiku said that he isn’t getting the good parts despite auditioning and sending feelers.

Furthermore: Tiku attributed the lack of work to the changing era, where formula films have been replaced by story-oriented cinema in Bollywood. “Gone are the times where there used to be formula films with cabaret dance, two love songs, and the comedian coming and doing his bit and going away. That all has changed now. It is become story-oriented. So unless and until you become a part of the story, or you get to play a character of a person whose story is knitted with the story, you don’t get work. I am slightly jobless right now 

We heard: Tiku said that he isn’t sitting idle at home, but chasing work through every means possible, from auditions, via an agent, or through sending feelers to makers.
