“I have tried my hand in cinema, television and anchoring. But without giving any second thought, I would say, films are my first priority. There is nothing wrong with TV. The problem with daily soaps is that they go on and on. You have no idea what changes in the storyline – when your character will die or the show will take a leap, or will go off-air abruptly. I know that Indian viewers are pretty loyal, and these kinds of shows cater to a different set of audience. But it does not mean that they do not want quality entertainment. So I would like to do TV shows, but something that runs for a definite period of time,” he says.

‘Cricket is a beautiful part of my professional journey’
Hosting the pre-match shows of a popular cricket league for over a decade, Samir has had a long association with sports, especially cricket. He says, “I am a huge sports buff and have been a basketball and football player during my school days.” Samir adds, “I think this passion of mine for sports brought me into sports broadcasting. Capturing different formats of cricket is entertaining and involves a lot of travel, which is full of fun and adventure for me. It’s like a carnival under one roof for me. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that Indian summers belong to cricket. So, my association with the sport has been a great experience for me. Cricket is a beautiful part of my personal and professional journey.”
