India, July 2 -- B eing noticed was never a problem for Eijaz Khan, who says, "fans often tell me they want to see me in more diverse roles". Eijaz dominated the small screen from 2003 to 2008 featuring in multiple hit TV shows, and later featured in films, OTT and reality shows. Despite being part of several notable films, he admits that he's still navigating his place in the industry. The actor admits that just as his popularity soared on TV, he made the surprising choice to take a step back, seeking relief from what he calls "over-consumption" and the pressure of constant visibility. "There have been phases where I thought, maybe I made a mistake by stepping away from TV at my peak in 2008. I'd have built four more houses and secured my family's financial health forever. But that's water under the bridge," he says. Eijaz, who was seen in the series Adrishyam 2 recently, reveals that some roles were taken out of necessity than creativity. "I've done work sometimes just to pay bills. But I've tried not to compromise on the craft too much," he says. Post Bigg Boss, he made a "conscious effort to align roles" with his evolving sensibilities. He says, "While I have played the best roles in my time, there was a period when I felt I was being over-consumed. I was part of many shows at the same time. Later, I chose quality over quantity with the thought that now was the time I wanted to play sensible roles. But that too didn't work in my favour." As he continues to redefine his career, Eijaz admits to facing an ongoing dilemma about visibility in the industry. "I'm still unsure about navigating this space - whether to be highly visible at events or stay selective and risk being forgotten." Perhaps most revealingly, Eijaz confesses to bouts of imposter syndrome. "It might sound funny, but even today I go through phases where I struggle with imposter syndrome. I keep wondering, am I doing the right thing? How did I get here?" he ends....
