While she wishes to change the pace of her career trajectory, Aakanksha Singh has no regrets thus far. She made a splash on television with `Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha` and then vanished from the scene until we spotted her again in `Badrinath Ki Dulhania` (2017) and `Runway 34`. Singh forayed into digital entertainment with `Escaype Live` and is headlining `Rangbaaz: Darr Ki Rajneeti` on ZEE5.
Asked why she didn’t continue her television and Bollywood stint after Badrinath…, she says that people began to “typecast” her. “I didn’t want to be stuck in something I am not enjoying. In television, you tend to work for 30 days a month and [end up] doing the same thing for years. Somewhere, the actor inside me was not [satisfied] doing that. I was not willing to do any television show because they wanted me to play a mother to a 21-year-old again [after Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha].” Post Badrinath, where she garnered the experience of being on a Hindi film set, Singh was typecast again as the “heroine’s best friend”. “I wanted to run away from that. I drifted to the south because I liked the work that came to me.”
