Mumbai, May 7 (NationPress) Actress Akansha Kapur, known for her dynamic roles, is set to star in the upcoming TVF series, 'Gram Chikatsalya'. During an interview with IANS, she expressed her long-standing desire to collaborate with TVF.
Akansha shared, "Whenever I select a project, I have a mental checklist—and 'Gram Chikatsalya' ticked every box. I’ve always wanted to work with TVF. Each time I enjoyed a show, I discovered TVF was behind it. Their writing is remarkably strong. Collaborating with Deepak Sir, Arunabh Sir, and being linked with Prime Video was significant for me. Additionally, it was my first opportunity to work with Amol, which completed my checklist!"
Regarding the essence of 'Gram Chikatsalya', she noted, "It tells a warm, engaging, and heartfelt story about rural healthcare in India. Beyond that, it delves into themes of friendship, self-discovery, and the essence of life itself. It encapsulates everything in one narrative, and I genuinely believe viewers will find it both moving and entertaining."
When discussing her departure from a glamorous image, Akansha revealed her first role was not glamorous, portraying a simple girl from Bihar. "I initially played a girl from Bihar. After two urban roles, I’m now exploring something distinct again. I’d describe my journey as balanced—fifty-fifty. I’ve always aimed to undertake diverse roles," she commented.
She further added, "It’s essential to fit the character authentically. If some creators perceive me as suitable for particular roles, I feel grateful for that. I appreciate the creators who believed I was right for this part. Adapting is crucial. Initially, I didn’t seem like someone who would typically fit this role, but it came together beautifully. I think everyone delivered their best. I auditioned, and Rahul Sir, Arnab Sir, and Deepak Sir believed it worked—and I’m deeply thankful for that."
