<p>Actor Pulkit Samrat says he is not too affected by professional setbacks as he does not take failure to heart. Speaking to <em>DH</em>, he also opened up about being a part of Zee5's Tasish and said that he loved acting alongside several talented actors in the Bejoy Nambiar-helmed film/web series. </p>.<p>Edited excerpts from the interview: </p>.<p><strong>What encouraged you to take up <em>Taish</em>?</strong></p>.<p>Director Bejoy Nambiar has been on my bucket list for quite a while. I am a fan of his work and like his films a lot. The film also has an ensemble cast. So, in a way, everything kind of fell in place for me.</p>.<p><strong><em>Taish </em>is a multi-starrer. Does this put more pressure on you?</strong></p>.<p>Pressure<em> toh nahi hota hai</em> but the return (final result) is good. If you work with better performers your performance becomes better. </p>.<p><strong><em>Taish </em>is being released as a film and a web series.</strong></p>.<p>We shot and approached it as a film and not a web series. This decision was taken by the people at Zee as they felt it would be more profitable to release it as a film as well as a web series. We, as a team, took up the challenge and a lot of time was spent in the editing room.</p>.<p><strong>What is your take on the digital/OTT revolution?</strong></p>.<p>When OTT started, it opened the gates (of the entertainment industry) for talented actors. It is a blessing for us. In a way, the impact of the digital medium on actors is similar to the one IPL (Indian Premier League) has had on cricketers. </p>.<p><strong>Is there a difference between acting in a film meant for the theatres and one meant for a digital release?</strong></p>.<p>There isn't much of a difference as far as the approach towards acting is concerned. <em>Woh toh hamesha dil aur jaan se hi hoti hai</em>.</p>.<p><strong>How do you deal with failure?</strong></p>.<p>The fundamental thing is that I do not take success to my head (become arrogant because of success).
