Mumbai:
Actress Sara Khan said that she feels people no longer judge Actresses based on their screen roles alone and added that she is not worried about “being typecast”.
Sara, who is currently seen as Goddess Kritikayein, said, “I think people no longer judge Actors just by their screen roles. Social media is now so common that people can learn about actors through their profiles and see who we really are outside of our characters.”
“So, I’m not worried about writing because it helps people understand us better and opens up more diverse career opportunities.”
The actor said it was years ago when Actors were worried about being typecast.
“But that’s not as much of a concern now. Social media allows audiences and producers to see more of an actor’s talent beyond their role, allowing us to showcase other skills and change any preconceived notions based on past characters,” he said.
Sara plays the role of Goddess Kritikayein in ‘Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya’ airing on Sun Neo.
Talking about what made her say yes to the show, Sara said, “Whenever I take on any character, I make sure I assess how important the character is. To take on a role, it is always important for an actor to see what kind of exposure he gets.
“That’s why when I saw that this character has a lot of potential in the series, with different avatars and different tones, it appealed to me.”
Talking about acting, Sara made her acting debut in the show ‘Sapna Babul Ka…Bidaai’ in 2007. She was then seen in the show ‘Preet Se Bandhi Ye Dori Ram Milaayi Jodi’ where she replaced Priyal Gori.
She was then seen in the movie ‘Junoon—Aisi Nafrat Toh Kaisa Ishq’ in 2013. After that she appeared in shows like ‘Sasural Simar Ka’, ‘V The Serial’, ‘Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya’, ‘Encounter’, ‘Tujhse’. Hi Rabta, “Bhagyalaxmi”, “Saubhagyalakshmi” and “Jaana Na Dil Se Door.”
