Akashdeep Sabir

is not against the festival of Janmashtami, however he feels strongly about the way it is celebrated. The actor-producer says that he doesn’t believe in idol worship as he has never felt the presence of god in his life. “Let me state categorically that I’m an atheist or an agnostic, whatever be the category. There is no idol worship for me. I think it is the biggest waste of time." And just why does he feel that way? He replies, "Too many questions that did not get me answers made me the way I am.”

Talking about Janmashtami celebrations, he says, “In my opinion, it is noise pollution, traffic, chaos and a risky one for people. For me it is just another needless holiday in the endless list in India.” On the work front, Akashdeep Sabir will be seen in Anand L Rai's '

'. His recent Facebook advertisement, too, was quite popular recently. On the state of the content on

television

these days, he remarks, "The content has continued to get regressive. There is a meaningless meandering of content on television. There is no vision, no keeping audiences in mind. Its a situation of cart before the horse. Not that everything is to be blamed on the channels. Nowadays, the youth have moved to seamless advertisement less content on their mobiles. OTT platforms are taking over. It’s a tough phase for television. It needs complete overhauling to survive the digital advent".
