She further said, “I have got all my projects till date from eminent producers who have directly signed me up with faith in my talent just like it happens in Bollywood. I am told by some producer friends in the industry that some key people working in channels demand auditions because they like to feel good about getting to select actors for a role.”
“Honestly, if auditions were so important, they should have happened in Bollywood too for every single movie because that it a more glamorous platform in terms of production, casting, and scripts,’’ said the actress.
“I am luckily in a space where now I choose my work, and fortunately, I have the privilege to do so. I have only been doing a lot of modeling for two years, shooting for music videos, and selectively working on short films."
In the end, she said, “In February this year, I also shot for a classy Kannada movie in Bangalore for an OTT platform. But I feel pretty content as an actor and I an not looking out actively to act anymore. If it happens, it will out of destiny!"
