Amit Sial Facts
- He was raised in Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh.
- Amit had craved to become an actor since the age of 8, ever since he saw actor Amitabh Bachchan in a film for the first time. His mother sensed Sial’s real interest and dream and pushed him into acting.
- The character of Maurya that Sial began to portray in the TV show Mirzapur in 2018, has been likened to that of Amitabh Bachchan in the movie Zanjeer. Sial has admitted that as he became an actor because of Big B, it has been his conscious effort to never mimic him knowing that there can be only one Bollywood’s Shahenshah. He had to bring it from within, the effort making him get reminded of an inspector in Kanpur while he was in school, who was the most polite yet authoritative gentleman he has known. Sial had been surprised to see such a virtuous and honest man in a place replete with crime and had remembered him all the while he worked on his character.
- Amit would wash dishes and drive taxis during the time he studied in Melbourne, Australia.
- He has believed people should be allowed to get into acting only after having undergone some kind of formal training.
- Amit has experienced out-of-work moments in life but has taken them in his stride, realizing that disappointment and failure are emotions and are a part and parcel of the phenomenon of life, and so we should never be scared to accept any of them.
