Kundali Bhagya's Neel Samarthh on fame, faith and flow; says 'I've left myself in the hands of the universe'

Actor Neel Samarthh, known for his roles in Tera Kya Hoga Alia, Waaris, Kundali Bhagya, and Sapnon Ki Chalang, is currently seen in Sabse Bada Rupaiya. Unlike many chasing fast fame, Neel believes in taking life as it comes, rooted in simplicity and spiritual trust.

“Every phase passes. Nothing stays forever,” Neel shares, echoing a calm acceptance of the highs and lows of showbiz. Reflecting on today’s entertainment scene, he notes, “Social media has opened many doors for newcomers, but earlier actors didn’t have these chances. Still, I feel something important is missing — the quality.”

With honesty, he adds, “There’s a lot of quantity today, but not enough real talent. Everyone wants quick fame, but being an artist is about feeling the pain and struggle too.”

Neel also points out the shifting priorities in casting today. “Yes, sometimes followers matter more than skill. But I believe if a star is meant to shine, no one can stop it. It may take time, but it will shine,” he says with quiet conviction.

On personal relationships, he keeps it unstructured. “I never begin a friendship or relationship with a fixed plan. I’m like a blank paper — the universe paints the colours. And it always knows better than me,” he smiles.

Criticism and trolling don’t shake him either. Recalling his mother’s wisdom, he shares, “Even if the whole world gets upset, don’t upset the one above (God). People will talk. Let them. You just keep walking.”

Neel is clear about his values: “I don’t fake anything. I just flow. I’ve left myself in the hands of the universe.”

As for reality shows, he says simply, “If something takes away my peace, innocence, or simplicity — I stay away from it.”
