Anchal Singh, who have been featured in two web series this year. However had faced a slowdown in the past six months. The actor was seen in Netflix’s Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein and SonyLIV’s Undekhi season 2 this year. Last week, Anchal posted her views on Instagram stating why she is missing from the screen for long.
She wrote, “Everyday I get asked by people what am I doing next or why wasn’t I part of any roundtables or why haven’t I been nominated for my work. For all those interested, here’s the truth – 1. I haven’t been asked to audition for any role in a series or a movie in the last 6 months apart from 2 at the max. When I made calls to check, I have been told that no work is happening right now. And nominations obv is not in my hands.”
She wraps up, “The truth is bitter. Despite all of this, I am sitting at home. I don’t have work. It upsets me & is quite depressing. But it is what it is!! It’s the year end, I have come to my family & enjoying the real love here.”
The actor said that she will continue to dream about becoming an actor like Tabu or Vidya Balan. While speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Aanchal said, “Sach kabse itna courageous ho gaya (When did truth become courageous)? I was just showing them the reality that getting such acclaim doesn’t mean you have climbed the ladder of success. It means that you have the ability but you need to prove yourself three-four times.”
She further added, “It is also a little sad that we are scared and ashamed to admit that we aren’t doing any work right now. It doesn’t mean your journey isn’t important and you are less than others. It doesn’t mean you won’t work from now onwards. It only means that this is your current state. In my case, after a lot of struggle, I have still done work. But there are so many people who have a lot of talent but they aren’t getting opportunities. So, it’s important that we stick by each other and offer faith.”
Meanwhile Anchal’s co-stars extended support for her. Actors Aditya Rawal and Patralekhaa landed red heart emojis on the post, co-star Shweta Tripathi Sharma commented, “You are a (diamond emoji) and there’s nothing more important than that. Shine tou karogey hi, aaj nahi tou kal (you will shine, today or tomorrow) (hug emoji).” A fan wrote, “Sometimes the most talented people also have to be the most patient. Wish you all the luck you deserve!”
