Pavitra Rishta actor Asha Negi recently revealed that she struggled to get work after the show. In an interview with Hindustan Times, the actor said that Pavitra Rishta was her big break. The actor did a cameo before she starred in Ekta Kapoor’s Pavitra Rishta. Asha Negi did a few reality shows after the television soap. However, the actress had to struggle a lot and did not get the kind of work that she had expected.
Talking about her initial career phase, Asha said that she was overconfident when she came to Mumbai. Negi reportedly came to Mumbai in order to fulfill her acting dream. The actor also revealed that she did not have any acting experience at that point in time. Further, she only wished to do films or advertisements and did not wish to venture into the television space. However, when she started auditioning for roles, she realized that it was not easy to get work. Further, she changed her mind and even agreed to do a cameo for a television series. Asha said that she did not have any contacts in Bollywood.
Asha Negi was reportedly replaced by other actors in two television shows namely, Ek Mutthi Aasmaan and Kuch Toh Hai Tere Mere Darmiyaan. Talking about the difficult phase, Negi said that she had compromised on her choice of projects. However, she later felt that it was a mistake to do so. Negi referred to the period as a ‘low phase’ in her life. She also said that her mental health was affected during the period.
On the work front:
Asha Negi will soon star in the second season of the crime thriller web series Abhay. This series features actor Kunal Kemmu in the lead role. Further Abhay 2 will feature on the streaming platform, Zee5. Talking about her experience, Asha Negi told Hindustan Times that Abhay 2 was ‘pretty chilled out’.
