The covid-19 pandemic that led to many businesses shutting shop led to a global meltdown. Now with the virus attack in China and the Russia-Ukraine war having affected the economy, it seems a recession is impending. While the recession is becoming a talking point, showbiz needs to survive as entertainment is of prime importance. People in India, much like the rest of the world, enjoy watching TV, films, and OTT.
Aniruddh Dave, known for his TV shows ‘Raajkumar Aaryyan’, ‘Woh Rehne Waali Mehlon Ki’, ‘Ruk Jana Nahi’ and ‘Patiala Babes’, shares his opinion.
“I don’t think that it would affect India and its economy. Our government is ready for every possible crisis and effort to keep it unaffected. We are doing great in global affairs. Our GDP is growing, INR valuation is also increasing etc, so a lot of development is happening. India is a developing nation. At the upcoming G20, 120 nations will come to know where we stand in business, stock, and investment. Many would like to better their relationship with India as we are already on the higher side,” he says.

About the changes or precautionary measures, the industry should take to deal with the situation, the actor shares, “Money saved is money earned. Alternative income or investment, saving is a must. Recession and pandemics are like uninvited guests or you can call them to gate crashers, so one should be prepared. But even if you're prepared, a fatal mishap can take a decade back. I've witnessed it. This is a part and parcel of life.”
The competition is increasing every day, although the opportunities have also increased. A number of new platforms are coming up.
“There are many opportunities, but still a lot of people have no work even when there’s no recession. We have nothing to do with this I believe, those who shoot or were working have also earned during the pandemic. So it’s better to go wisely. Stay strong and open your eyes, keep watching the scenario. Working hard is a must as competition is high. Working on your skills, craft and knowledge as that will only help you move ahead,” he explains.
