I have a big problem with labelling actors: Sanjay Mishra

For the most part of his career, Sanjay Mishra gained recognition in comedy but the actor feels it would have been tragic had he been reduced to one genre.

The 54-year-old actor established himself with his impeccable comic timing through films like "Phas Gaya Re Obama", "Golmaal" series, "All The Best" and "Dhamaal".

While the roles were good and the audience feedback satisfying, the fear of being "labelled" had set in for Mishra.

In an interview with PTI, the actor says, "My best phase started with 'Phas Gaye Re Obama' in 2010, otherwise I would have been reduced to just a comedian. It would've been very sad if I did only comedy.

"Here, we give tags to everyone -- he is a comedian, he is a hero, he is a character actor. Why? Everyone is an actor. I have a big problem with the tags."
"In 'Aakhon Dekhi', the man refuses to believe anything which he can't see. Just opposite to it, there's a blind man in 'Kadvi Hawa' who says, I can see it. Why can't you?
