Ridhima Pandit, In Her Element

From making your acting debut in advertisements to playing the character of a super humanoid robot in the daily soap, Bahu Hamari Rajni Kant, how has the journey been so far?

Fantastic. Not many people know that before I became an actor, I was an artist manager. So, I’ve been behind the scenes and it helped my whole experience of being in front of the screen. I’ve done many ad shoots, which are a lot different from shooting for television daily soaps. In ads, we shoot for 12 hours only for 30 seconds and here we shoot for 12 hours for a whole 30-minute of footage. But I believe that television is the best platform. It has given me whatever I am today, people recognise me because of it. In my first show, I was very raw and nervous because I had seen too many run-of-the-mill characters, which were undoubtedly very much appreciated but at the same time did not give creative satisfaction. Thus, I was waiting for the right opportunity.

Your twitter bio describes that you were born to act. When did you develop a passion for acting?

My twitter bio describes that I am a firm believer of three stages in life, Nobody; Wannabe; Somebody. That was a thought which came to me when I wasn’t even an actor but I always knew that I wanted to be one. Currently, I am in the want-tobe stage. I have the least inclination towards gaining fame but I always remember one thing that I don’t want to be a nobody. I knew that I wanted to make a name for myself and face the camera since I was a kid.

Bagging ‘the Best Debut’ at an awards show was a significant part of your acting career. How has your life changed after that?
