I don’t have to beg for work anymore: Aahana Kumra

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Aahana Kumra has spent days wondering when would stage artistes get the validation they deserve but today she considers herself fortunate that due to digital platforms, actors like her do not have to beg for work or be bitter that stars kids get it easy.

The “Lipstick Under My Burkha” actor did theatre for more than a decade before venturing into TV series, films and digital platforms. While the actor always craved for validation as a stage artistes, the situations has changed today. “The best part about what’s happening right now, for actors like me, is that we have a great platform like the internet, through which our work is reaching across. I don’t have to beg for work anymore,” Aahana told.

“There was a time I used to think, instead of taking so many auditions, can’t they just come and watch our play? I used to feel just because someone comes from a film family, they get work faster, whereas we have to do ten auditions for one project.”  The 34-year-old actor says, though the outsider versus insider debate will exist, she has never been bitter about it.
