Popular actor Achint Kaur says with time she has often changed her mindset and evolved as an actor to stay relevant.
Moving from weekly to daily soaps, Achint said for her it was initially difficult to find her footing in the television industry.
She has been part of shows like "Banegi Apni Baat", "Swabhimaan", "Saaya", "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi", "Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii", "Jamai Raja" and others.
"I am from the weekly era where the content was very intelligent. Then when daily soaps came in, it took me a year to understand how will I fit in. In TV I got lost (initially). During the weekly era, no one would offer me negative parts when I watched daily soaps I never saw myself fit into positive roles. I got to experiment with daily soaps.
"As actors, we get into our comfort zone and don't push ourselves and then we start seeing the negative in the outside world but the fear is within us. I have realised this and put an end to this. I have always got good roles to play that have been impactful be it positive or negative or grey," Achint told PTI.
The actor said as an artiste she makes sure to learn about her craft as much as possible.
"I am with the time, I change myself, I work on myself. I keep changing my performance abilities, I keep working on them. I take a lot of workshops. I do a lot of theatre to learn how to perform differently."
"There is no destination as to what I want to play next if there is then I will again have to look for something that is new and different every time. Every day is a new path and I want to capture it as much as we can. I am clear, monotony is not what I want."
"It (web) is a brilliant platform, we can experiment a lot. The canvas is huge here. I want to do a lot of web. I am hungry. I am pushing for web, meeting people and calling people."
Talking about "Jamai 2.0", Achint said, "There is no connection between the TV and web show. Only the word 'Jamai' is the same, the perspective is different. It is not a quintessential type. It ('Jamai 2.0') is a thriller, there are a lot of sub-plots, there is a lot of layering, there is realism and honesty."
