Career

As an Actor

Saahil aspired to become an actor since he was ten years old. After completing his graduation, he shifted to Mumbai to fulfil his lifelong dream. Saahil struggled for many years and could only find menial roles in regional films and TV shows. In 2013, he caught a break when he was roped in for the role of William Patel in the Dan Baron’s directorial Hollywood film ‘Basmati Blues.’ In an interview, talking about his acting journey, Sehgal said,

It has been a long-cherished dream. There were challenges, disappointments on the way. I took the small steps towards my goal. And finally, it is happening today.ā€

 

Prior to his selection, Sehgal went through a series of auditions for this film. He had a Skype interview with Dan Baron and then flew to Los Angeles to do a screen test with the Oscar-winning actor Brie Larson. In an interview, while sharing an anecdote, Saahil said,

At that point of time, my US Visa had just expired and I couldnā€™t get it renewed on time. It was a very frustrating moment for me. But I couldnā€™t do much about it. A few weeks later when I was in Kolkata shooting for an ad, I got a call from the casting director to come down to Mumbai as the filmā€™s director was in the city and wanted me to re-audition.ā€
