Known for his wild antics and the ever-viral catchphrase “I like it,” he has not only entertained millions but also inspired countless fans with Saanand’s off-screen journey of resilience. Sharing a poignant turning point from his struggling days, Saanand Verma aka Anokhe Lal Saxena said, “There was a time I approached one of the popular Bollywood directors for a role. Unfortunately, he spoke to me rather rudely, rejected me outright, and said some hurtful things. That experience stayed with me for years. But life has a funny way of turning things around. After Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai became a hit and Saxena Ji gained recognition, the same director called me, this time with warmth in his voice. He invited me over for dinner and shared how his family, especially his kids, are huge fans of my character. That moment was surreal. Today, we share a great bond.”He adds, “It was a powerful reminder that no rejection is final, and the universe always circles back with something better. That day, I truly felt how talent and resilience eventually find their way to the spotlight—or in my case, to the dinner table of someone who had once turned me away. It was emotional, humbling, and honestly, I like it!”From walking miles to auditions to starring in major films and web series, his journey is a true example of passion, grit, and determination. Beyond comedy, he has proven his range with impactful roles in movies like Mardaani and Chhichhore, making him a respected face in both television and cinema.
