Today we’d like to introduce you to Teeshay S.
Teeshay, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Well, I work in the Entertainment industry. I started with commercials in Mumbai, India. I worked as an actor, model, and host till I got an opportunity to come to LA in 2017 when an agent signed me. I took the hard decision to move here but It has been fulfilling, to say the least. I love the entertainment industry here and I am super happy with the decision I made back in 2017.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
See when you are on a working visa in a country like the USA, you have limited opportunities. Even Hollywood has fewer opportunities for Indian actors compared to what we get back home. So yes, it’s been a tad difficult but I have been blessed with good work every year since I moved.
I have been lucky enough to get quality projects in commercials, hosting, and acting and I feel It will only get better. One of my biggest struggles is mastering the American accent for more acting opportunities and to date, I continue to work on that aspect.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am an actor, tv host, and model. Sometimes I write and produce. So I do a bit of everything. That maybe sets me apart from others in a way. I have a strong body of work from India and that’s where people know me for my work. Here, I am building on that and so far have been part of great projects.
I’ve done modeling projects here for Apple, Samsung, and casting networks to name a few. Been part of a show called seal team and welcome to Chippendales as an actor. Did a Christmas movie last year, 2 music videos, hosted red-carpet events, and had my talk show on holly wire. Needless to say, I’m proud of all these projects.
We love surprises, fun facts, and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
The fact that I dance really well and I am also trained in karate. I also cook well.
