Asha Negi embodies the character of the intelligent and self-conscious Sanya Sen, reminiscing about her struggling days in Bollywood, saying, “I would not call it a struggle, it was more about me adapting to the new environment. Hailing from Dehradun, I came from a middle-class family with no connections in the industry and started auditioning through the help of a friend. I arrived with no prior experience or training in theater, but I have no regrets. I cherish my journey and am grateful for all the challenges and successes along way”.
Furthermore, she shared her advice for the upcoming generations, saying “First and foremost, it is essential to thoroughly prepare for your career. If you aspire to become an actor, it is crucial to master the craft of acting. Attend workshops, participate in theater productions, observe individuals in your surroundings, gain diverse experiences, and actively pursue auditions. If you lack connections, make an effort to network and persist in your endeavors. Do not lose hope, as your efforts will eventually pay off.”
