Barkha Singh Opens Up On Being Replaced: ‘I Can't Play The Controversy Game'
Barkha Singh said that she has been lucky to set foot in the OTT space but noted that there were various factors that determined if one would have the project or not. Barkha Singh has had a busy professional year, with two web series released in recent months: Criminal Justice: A Family Matter, starring Pankaj Tripathi, and Lafangey. She has carved out a niche for herself in the digital arena and is making excellent progress in the film industry. She has always been outspoken and in a recent interview, Barkha shared how she was replaced by someone with a lot of media attention and PR. In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Barkha said that she has been lucky to set foot in the OTT space but notes that there are various factors that determine if one has the project or not. Recalling one incident, Barkha said, 'I was selected for a role, my fittings were done, but then at the last minute, I was replaced by someone who was just very topical because of their media and PR spottings. They got into some controversy and they replaced me only because the platforms felt that that person would get them more eyeballs. Such things give you anxiety. As actors, we only have our skill to fall back on, but in today's time, you have to play the game. I can't play the controversy game, but those who do, they get so many offers." Barkha Singh On Joined Criminal Justice Barkha Singh was last seen in the fourth season of the acclaimed crime thriller series Criminal Justice. The actress admitted that she was scared of joining the show mid way. 'There was a fear if people would accept me, but more than that, it was also a change of category for me as until now, the audience has seen me in a lot of sweet girl-next-door roles, but here it was a no makeup, no glam serious role of a lawyer, so it was a double gamble for me," Barkha said. Barkha Singh Was Once Stereotyped By Casting Directors Moreover, Barkha claimed that for a long time she was confined to a glamorous role as casting director thought she would not be fit otherwise. She noted that being cast in other roles was out of the question, she even struggled to get auditions. But thankfully, she got a good response for Criminal Justice and later, the same casting people have called her to say how different she looked.
