From bold scenes to family viewing: Ashmita's acting journey
4 Oct
Summary
- Actress Ashmita Bakshi now prioritizes script and family viewing.
- She previously starred in shows with bold scenes but will avoid them.
- Her TV debut in 'URI' marks a new direction in her career.
Actress Ashmita Bakshi has charted a dynamic path through the entertainment industry since her OTT debut, exploring a variety of roles. Her early projects like 'Boss' and 'Paurashpur' presented her with opportunities that challenged her comfort zone, including scenes she later decided to avoid.
Bakshi's perspective has shifted significantly, with a greater emphasis now placed on the script's quality, the collaborative team, and the suitability of content for family viewing. Although she has previously appeared in productions featuring bold scenes, she now expresses a preference for avoiding them, stating a desire for her family to be able to watch her work.
However, she leaves room for exceptions, indicating a willingness to consider projects with mature themes if the script, actors, and overall team are exceptionally strong. Her debut on television with 'URI' represents a departure into a different genre, filmed in locations like Kashmir and Naigaon, distinct from its real-life hospital inspiration in Srinagar.
Her experience on 'Paurashpur' during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly a scene involving Anu Kapoor, provided valuable lessons. Kapoor's professional approach helped her feel comfortable and in control of the scene's filming, contributing to her evolving understanding of her career aspirations and boundaries.
