The actor talks about the much-anticipated return of Unforgotten, his bond with his former co-star, and working with strong women 🎙️ y_alibhai meets TVSanjeev
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown writes a weekly column for i. She was awarded Broadsheet Columnist of the Year at the 2017 Press Awards and was Highly Commended in the same category at the 2018 Press Awards.When Sanjeev Bhaskar was five years old, a visiting uncle asked what he wanted to be when he grew up.
Actors in TV series need to convey a pre-existing relationship. That can be hard. But right from their first scene, Bhaskar and Walker felt they had known each other forever. Bhaskar believes that intimacy and the non-judgemental scripts makes the series meaningful and human: “Chris [Lang, the writer] shows how regular people can do bad things.”
about how Bhaskar had reached out to her: “He was incredibly kind, probably because he was thinking that it could feel a bit weird for whoever was coming in. The nicest man in showbiz.” Most immigrants, even today, want their offspring to go into business, become doctors, lawyers, accountants, or now, city highfliers, like Rishi Sunak. Asians in the showbiz firmament threaten that life plan. To an Asian businessman I know: “Sanjeev and Meera, Nish Kumar – not a good example. Life is serious, not a joke. Our young people, now they want to be like them, my grandson also. We must stop them.” No chance of that.
