Ashita Dhawan: Ironically, being typecast has given me continuous work for the past 20 years

Ashita Dhawan Many actors are wary of being typecast, but Ashita Dhawan , who has frequently been cast in roles centered around humorous and memorable catchphrases, feels it's a blessing in disguise. With a career spanning over 20 years and roles in shows like Sapna Babul Ka Bidaai , Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Imlie, Krishna Mohini , and Mera Balam Thanedaar , she credits her typecasting for her non-stop work. She shares, 'Unfortunately, I've been typecast in the industry, but I'm not complaining. Honestly, if I hadn't been typecast and played those roles, I probably wouldn't have been working non-stop for the past 20 years. Of course, there's some regret, as deep down, I know I have more to offer and would like to explore different aspects of my talent. But my motto is to keep working, no matter what. Art should never gather dust. Whatever is meant for me will come my way eventually, but until then, I keep working and striving. I accept what the industry gives me with gratitude and continue working hard, waiting for what destiny has planned next. This is how I deal with typecasting.' On the roles she aspires to take on, Ashita explains, 'Every actor wants to play a role that leaves an impact on society — something meaningful, with a message, something different and challenging. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo When I signed Krishna Mohini, I did so because the subject wasn't widely accepted. It wasn't something people were open to, and the topic wasn't easily accepted. But I thought, why not give it a shot? If we want to spark a revolution, someone has to take the first step. ' However, the show wrapped up within four months. She says, 'Unfortunately, even that didn't get accepted because, in our society, while people are eager to do things, they often lack the courage to truly accept them. As actors, we all wish to do something that brings about change, but society doesn't always embrace it. Still, we keep trying. I keep trying too. For me, trying isn't just a word filled with hope; it's a commitment, an ongoing effort. So, I just keep going and keep trying.'
