Akanksha also recalled the 'struggling phase' before becoming an actor.
The actress revealed how it was quite difficult for her to overcome her 'self-doubt' when she first entered the industry. She also shed light on the challenges a beginner actor has to face when they don't have a 'godfather' in the industry.
She shared, 'One of the biggest challenges was overcoming my own self-doubt. This industry tests your patience and confidence every single day.
Initially, I used to take rejections personally, but over time, I realised that every 'no' is leading you to the right 'yes'. Today, I look back and feel those challenges were blessings because they made me emotionally stronger and fearless.'
The actress further shared, 'You have to prove yourself with every project and performance. I feel proud that whatever love and respect I have earned is purely on my merit and hard work.
I always believed in staying grounded and letting my work speak. I am grateful to the audience for loving me for who I am and not just for the characters I play.'
She further opened up about her character in the show and shared, 'What drew me to Geet was her fearless honesty. She is bold, rebellious, unapologetic about her choices, yet extremely vulnerable when it comes to love and family. She doesn't care about what society thinks, but deep down, she is seeking acceptance.'

The actress also shared, 'I found Geet's journey fascinating because she is full of contrasts – she can fight the world yet breaks down alone. To interpret her depth, I tried to understand where her pain comes from, what her dreams are, and why she reacts so impulsively. I believe every action has an emotion behind it, and showing that honestly was my main aim.'

Debina Bonnerjee shares glimpses of what her life is like these days
Actress Debina Bonnerjee, who is gearing up for her upcoming show 'Pati Patni Aur Panga', has showcased a glimpse of what her life is like these days. Debina took to Instagram, where she shared a picture of herself and alongside it, she gave a list of things that are keeping her busy. She wrote: 'Life Lately Shoot, Sleepless nights, Mommy duties, Dressing up & showing up, Tired? Yesss, Excited? Always, Grateful? Super Check.' Debina and her husband Gurmeet Chaudhary first got married in 2011 and then tied the knot again in 2021. They had their first child, a daughter, in April 2022, and their second daughter in November 2022. The two will be seen in the upcoming couple reality show, 'Pati Patni Aur Panga' hosted by actress Sonali Bendre and comedian Munawar Faruqui. The show is all set to premiere on Colors TV on August 2, featuring a diverse mix of celebrity couples as contestants. The lineup includes Hina Khan and Rocky Jaiswal, Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla, Avika Gor and Milind Chandwani, Debina Bonnerjee and Gurmeet Choudhary, Sudesh Lehri and Mamta Lehri, Geeta Phogat and Pawan Kumar, along with Swara Bhasker and Fahad Ahmed. Debina and Gurmeet opened up to IANS about why they agreed to be part of the reality show 'Pati Patni Aur Panga.' Debina said: 'For me, the reason was that I don't usually get the chance to work with Gurmeet daily. Right now, Gurmeet is away from television, so at least we are together on this show, working with each other. That was the sole reason—we get to spend time together and have so much fun.' Gurmeet and his wife Debina Bonnerjee rose to prominence after portraying Rama and Sita in the 2009 television epic 'Ramayana'. He then participated in the reality show Pati Patni Aur Woh with his then fiancee, Debina. The actor then worked in shows such as 'Geet-Hui Sabse Parayi,' 'Punar Vivah', 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa', 'Nach Baliye 6,' 'Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi (season 5)'. Gurmeet's first film in Bollywood was in 2015 when he was cast as the character of Jaidev in the psychological thriller 'Khamoshiyan'.
