Mumbai, Feb 4 (NationPress) Actress Indraxi Kanjilal, widely recognized for her portrayal of Prarthana in the hit TV series 'Pushpa Impossible', recently shed light on her early days of struggle in Mumbai.

She expressed that becoming an actress was her lifelong aspiration. Indraxi stated, "From a young age, I envisioned myself as an actress. Watching television shows with my mother ignited my admiration for the actors on screen. As I matured, my love for acting intensified. I aimed to kick-start my career at 18, prioritizing my education first. Interestingly, I began modeling at the tender age of 3, but my real journey only commenced after completing my 12th finals."

Reflecting on her entry into acting, the talented actress shared, "I attended a screening of the film Doctor Strange, and shortly after, I received a call informing me that I had been chosen for an audition and a mock shoot in Mumbai. Following the mock shoot, I began filming for my debut show Pushpa Impossible, and it has been an incredible journey ever since. Now, three years have passed, and I have gained invaluable experience along the way."

Moreover, she did not encounter difficulties in persuading her family, as her father, Mrinmoy Kanjilal, is a prominent producer in Kolkata. "My father belongs to the entertainment industry, so he wholeheartedly supported my decision. However, my aspiration was to work in the Hindi industry rather than in Bengali cinema. The real obstacle was securing opportunities with production houses and auditions, yet my parents stood firmly by my side, and I am immensely thankful for that.

Indraxi Kanjilal mentioned that she initially felt apprehensive about being judged for her Hindi due to her Bengali accent. The actress recounted, "I relocated to Mumbai in May 2022 for work. It was a daunting experience because I feared that people would criticize my Hindi because of my Bengali accent. During my mock shoot, reactions were somewhat pleasant, but once I began working, I faced considerable criticism for being inexperienced and not knowing how to convey emotions effectively. I lacked knowledge about the camera, but I was resolute in my desire to learn."
