Never Loose Hope - Yagya Bhasin (Indian Child Actor)

1. Tell us about your background and journey.

I belong from a middle class family born in Laksar, Haridwar, Uttarakhand. I had huge interest in watching films. One day I thought that can I also be featured in a film ?  I talked about it with my Dad. He asked me what to do for this ?  I replied that we will have to shift to Mumbai for this purpose. My Dad was a section officer at High Court of Uttarakhand Nainital and my Mom was a Makeup Artist. They both left their profession for my career in acting. 

We struggled a lot when we reached Mumbai. I gave around 52 auditions, after that, I was offered a TV show named "Mere Sai" on Sony TV. Then I did many TV shows like CID, Krishna Chali London, Tarak Mehta ka Ulta Chashma and so many TV ads with Mr Shahrukh Khan Sir and Mr Amitabh Bacchan Sir etc. Finally, I made a debut in Bollywood Hindi film "Panga" released on 24th January 2020. Recently, I am playing a very interesting character named "Saaransh Khurrana" in One of the most Popular TV Show "Yeh Hai Chahatein" telecasts on Star Plus.
