Ridhi Dogra's explosive comment Ridhi Dogra said that the acceptance of TV actors in movies is a battle.
She explained, “Aapke chehre pe koi nahi bolta, to look cool. Kyunki aajkal ek bohot hi achchi cheez hai bolna ki ‘we are inclusive.’ They’ll tell you that you’re a great actor.
But jab aap room se chale jayenge, tab agle din aapko pata chalega aapko nahi lenge kyuki aapne television kiya hua hai. (No one will say it to your face because they want to look cool. Because it’s cool to say that ‘we are inclusive’.
The next day, you’ll find out that they won’t cast you in the film because you have worked in television)." Ridhi added, “Kyunki gussa bohot aata hai. Aap helpless feel karte hain.
Isliye maine Ekta jaise, Atlee jaise logon ke saath kaam kiya hai jo in sab cheezo ki parwaah nahi karte hain. (Because I feel very angry. I feel helpless.
Which is why I have worked with people like Ekta Kapoor, Atlee, who don’t care about such things). Lekin jo log.
