Mumbai, Dec 29 (NationPress) Renowned for her choice of roles that emphasize depth over mere screen presence, Bollywood actress Chitrangda Singh has had an impressive 2025 with her films “Housefull 5,” “Parikrama,” and “Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders.” She expressed her gratitude that even a modest portfolio of work has resonated with audiences through the years.

In an industry frequently driven by metrics, frequency, and visibility, Chitrangda is thankful that despite her limited filmography, she remains memorable to viewers. She argues that true memorability stems from the impact of a performance rather than its duration.

Discussing her approach to selecting roles that prioritize substance over mere visibility, she stated in an interview with IANS: “I think people are gradually realizing that it’s not just the quantity of work that makes you unforgettable. A single impactful scene can significantly elevate a character and leave a lasting impression.”

The actress emphasized that while visibility holds importance, it is ultimately the quality of the work that lasts.

“That said, I understand that visibility is essential, and one does need memorable roles rather than just fleeting appearances. However, I believe a balance of both is effective. I feel that quality work is always cherished,” she remarked.

From her debut in 2003 with Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, where her subtle and layered portrayal gained her immediate acclaim, to films like Yeh Saali Zindagi and Inkaar, Chitrangda has consistently focused on characters that exhibit emotional depth.

Her performance in “Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders,” released earlier this month, was notable for its subtlety and underlying tension, reaffirming her conviction that even restrained performances can create a lasting impact.

“People don’t forget quality work. I feel truly thankful that despite having done less, I am remembered. Quality work leads to more opportunities. Good work generates more work over a longer duration,” she stated.

On the subject of Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders, Chitrangda commented on the film’s approach to female representation in noir, a genre often limiting women to clichéd roles. She noted that the film successfully transcended the stereotype of women being depicted solely as victims or manipulators.

“This might be because we have a female writer, Smita Singh, who has done an excellent job. However, I don’t want to limit this discussion to gender; men can also create compelling characters. Nevertheless, that’s what makes this project unique and exciting,” she concluded.

“Otherwise, it’s quite simple to portray a woman as devious, making her the apparent suspect.”
