'Pushpa Impossible' Actress Indraxi Kanjilal: What Drives Her to Pursue Dark Feminine Roles?

Mumbai, June 8 (NationPress) Television actress Indraxi Kanjilal candidly expressed her aspiration to delve into more intricate roles, especially those featuring a dark feminine character.

Sharing her enthusiasm for playing multifaceted, intense personas, the actress highlighted how such characters push her creatively and enable her to step away from conventional portrayals typically seen on screen. Discussing the types of projects she wishes to engage in, Indraxi remarked, “I truly dream of portraying a dark feminine woman in a film, web series, or even on television. Just once, I want to witness that type of character come to life on screen. It’s an aspect of femininity that remains largely unexplored, particularly in Indian cinema and television. I absolutely adore the concept of dark feminine energy, where a woman is fully aware of her desires and possesses the strength to pursue them independently. She doesn't rely on a man to fight her battles. If wronged, she doesn't wait for a savior; she seeks vengeance herself. That’s the kind of woman I look up to, and honestly, it reflects who I am in real life too.”

The 'Pushpa Impossible' actress continued, “I would love to embody a character that signifies strength, mystery, and power because we haven't seen enough representation of that in Indian narratives. However, when that opportunity arises, I am determined to work hard to be part of it. My dream role is to portray a dark, powerful female lead who doesn't wait for a hero to come to her rescue. She is the hero of her own story. It frustrates me when I watch shows or movies where the leading woman constantly turns to the male lead for direction, as if all the solutions lie with him while she appears lost. In reality, that is rarely the case. Women possess incredible intuition, especially in challenging situations; we instinctively know what to do.”

Known for her role as Prarthana in ‘Pushpa Impossible,’ the actress shared her lifelong eagerness to join the entertainment industry, often discussing her ambitions with friends.

“I don’t know where the passion came from, but since childhood, I have always known I wanted to be an actress. Watching TV, I admired the actresses and often imagined what it would feel like to be one of them. I was confident that I would eventually be in their shoes. For me, it was never a question of 'if' but 'when.' Even as a child, I would tell my friends, 'When I become an actress, I will do this, I will do that,' and so forth. That belief has always been ingrained within me. I’ve always felt deep down that I would become an actress. It has been a part of my identity, and I manifested it with such conviction that it ultimately became my reality,” Indraxi elaborated.

Indraxi Kanjilal has made a significant impact in the Indian television landscape through her remarkable performances in shows like “Pushpa Impossible” and “Wagle Ki Duniya.”
