Acting

Hi Aarohi!
There are institutes like Asian Academy of Film and Television, Barry John, Anupam Kher's Actor Prepares that offer short-term courses in acting in India. You can also refer to this link in case you want to pursue acting as a full-time regular course: https://www.shiksha.com/mass-communication-media/film-tv/articles/top-10-acting-schools-in-india-blogId-8822.

Making it as an actor takes talent, but pure luck plays a major role in getting your big break. You might be tempted to jump right into the audition process, but if you are a beginner with no training, the best thing you can do is find some sort of acting class. Most actors have spent years training to become even good enough for small parts. In addition to attending acting classes and/or workshops, you'll need to get some headshots made and begin preparing a portfolio.

Hi Aniket!
Starting out as an actor or actress is perhaps one of the most difficult things anyone can do, professionally speaking. A career in acting is only for people who are not easily disgruntled. Since this field has a lot of competition and many entrants looking to make it big, actors and actresses need to be willing to put in that extra level of effort in order to get hired.

Although theatre has been one of the oldest forms of performance arts practised throughout India, it has managed to sink its claws deeper into some cities than the rest. Perhaps factors such as educational and cultural establishments, better funding resources and a stronger sense of community among patrons too could play a key role in making theatre in certain cities thrive much better than the rest. The top five cities that are buzzing with an active theatre scene are mentioned below.
1) Delhi
2) Mumbai
3) Chennai
4) Bangalore
5) Kolkata
