Actress Pranali Rathod, in a new interview with a leading tabloid, recalled her struggling days and how she dealt with rejections.
Pranali Rathod is currently winning hearts with her portrayal of Akshara in one of her Star Plus’ longest running show, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. Before making it big in the industry, the actress went through a lot of struggles and faced a series of rejections.
In a recent interview with ETimes, Pranali recalled her early days and said, “Before entering this industry for the first year, I only gave auditions because I knew where the auditions would happen. But I could not travel alone for the auditions as I was young, I would go with my mother. I would travel from one location to another in the sun. I did all that for one entire year. I struggled for one year to bag my first project. There was a point when I only got rejected and I was demotivated. I felt this was not meant for me, I was very demotivated. But my family taught me one thing to not give up because of rejections, they told me instead to learn from them. You should work on yourself and take those rejections positively if you want to be an actress. Thanks to my mother, father and my family, I could reach so far in life.”
The Kyun Utthe Dil Chhod Aaye star told the publication that she aspired to be an actress since childhood. She revealed that she used to participate in dance, drama during her school days and even dabbled with theatre in college. She said that she loved watching movies while growing up and named Madhuri Dixit and Sridevi as her favourite actresses.
Pranali said that she is blessed to have bagged different roles without getting typecast and doesn’t regret doing any of them. She further added that she is able to play Akshara today because of what she has learnt from all her roles that she has done so far in her career.
