Tv actor Kanwaljeet Singh replaced by a young actor; asks when will authorities wake up?

TV actor Kanwaljeet Singh has been replaced by a young actor in an OTT show titled Sandwich.

MUMBAI: Television and Bollywood have resumed shooting following unlock 1 and 2 guidelines. Following the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) authorities have advised senior citizens to stay at home. The new SOPs set by central government suggest actors or crew members above 65 years will not be allowed to shoot amid the COVID-19 conditions. But it seems like TV actor Kanwaljeet Singh has become the latest victim of SOPs. As per the latest report, Kanwaljeet has been replaced by a young actor in Sony Liv’s new serial Sandwich. 

Kanwaljeet Singh told Film Information, “So what do actors like me do? Hang up our boots? How can I be asked NOT to work? “I had decided that I won’t travel daily from home to Mira Road and back but will rather stay there with my staff, for which I had even rented a place.” He went on to say that he has no information about the actor who has replaced him.

He further told the portal, “I have nothing against the new actor or the channel. But this rule needs to be changed. Otherwise, what will the hundreds of actors like me do? We are fond of working, we love our work, how can the government stop us? Will the authorities wake up when one senior actor, in depression for being out of work, commits suicide?”

He tells authorities they need to change some rules. He concluded, “Not every senior actor or unit member is well placed enough to tide over these difficult times by simply sitting at home, not working. Most of them need to work, some for financial reasons, others for the sheer love of work.
