Television actress Asha Negi opened up about her initial hesitation in taking up the project, ‘Criminal Justice 4.’
In a candid conversation, the actress admitted she was unsure at first, but a deeper understanding of the script and her character eventually won her over. Negi revealed that she initially had reservations about taking up `Criminal Justice 4` due to the limited screen time her role offered. The `Pavitra Rishta` actress admitted that she was unsure if the character would make a lasting impact or simply fade into the background. Asha mentioned that her doubts were soon dispelled once she delved into the script and received a detailed character briefing. She realized that, despite the limited screen time, the part was layered and rich in performance potential.
The ‘Baarish’ actress told IANS, “Yes, I was a bit skeptical at first because of the limited screen time. I wondered if the character would fade away—what then? But once I read the screenplay and received the character briefing, I realized that although the screen time was less, the role itself had a lot to offer. It was a performance-oriented character. I understood that it`s not always about screen time—if the character is strong, that’s enough for me. So, I went ahead with it.”
