One such arc follows Meenakshi who wants to become a director but is stuck in the corporate loop. Portrayed by the talented actor Ritika Singh, she recently revealed the actual inspiration behind her character, sharing “My character’s arc in Bench Life is our director Manasa Sharma’s real life story. She was a living example right in front of me. To see her go from a software engineer to directing her own series was so inspiring. It makes me very happy to see women chase their dreams and keep their passion alive, by following where their heart takes them and fully committing to it. One needs to be really brave to be able to defy the societal norms and expectations and truly be who they want to be. And I was so glad I got play that character in Bench Life.”
