Ahaan Pandey tried many career options

Speaking to Grazia India, Ahan said, "At the age of 16, I tried DJing and then started music production. I had a group called 'Bass Trap' and we released tracks under that. Then came video game design. Later, I started assisting on film sets because my passion for storytelling was always hidden beneath everything else. I watched everything silently on the sets. After that, I also gave my first film audition and it was there that I got a taste of theater and "I learned what it feels like to perform in front of a real crowd. That's where I decided I would stick to it."

Rejection became a part of life

Sayara Actor Ahaan Pandey said that his desire to explore many different things made him realize that acting was the best path for him, as it gave him the opportunity to experience everything through different characters. However, by the time he turned 18, rejection had become a regular part of his life.

series of not listening

He recalled that some directors showed interest in working with him, but producers were often not sure about casting a new actor. On this the actor said, “That's when the process of not listening started.” During this journey, I realized that the path of acting would not be easy and I would often have to face rejection. Acting requires a lot of courage because after all it is an art. You will have to hear a lot of no's before hearing yes and this is part of the process."
