MITHILA PALKAR On “LITTLE THINGS” In Her Life

Mithila Palkar has appeared in numerous shows and films. She is, however, best known for essaying the role of Kavya Kulkarni in the series Little Things. But over the years, the young actor has also impressed the audience with her dance moves and singing, the snippets of which she keeps sharing on her Instagram.

You may rightly call her as the girl who took the internet by storm with her mint-fresh spunk, which instantly connected with the Gen X.

Women Fitness India gets in a candid chat with the OTT star on journey, fitness and love for acting!

Mithila you began your career with a debut in the Marathi industry and today you are one of the most famous OTT stars and influencing personality, how would you describe your journey as?

I started my career with OTT itself actually. My first ever film was a Bollywood film ‘Katti Batti’ where I had played a supporting role. The Marathi debut happened fairly later and I actually started my tryst with acting on the Internet and in between all these projects happened. My journey so far has been absolutely overwhelming in a good way. All of this happened so fast that I didn’t get the time to catch up on everything that was going on but it’s a surreal feeling to look back at my journey.

You mentioned once that coming from a non-film family your family did not first approve your decision to be an actor, how did you convince them and how do they look at your journey now?

I kind of had to negotiate with my grandfather on my decision to pursue acting with him being absolutely not in favour of films. I told him and I knew that I am not an unreasonable or impractical person so I asked for those 6-12 months to figure this out. If I cannot and if I realise that this is not meant for me, I will voluntarily move on. I just wanted that chance to at least experiment and see if it's going anywhere because I never acted professionally before. I needed a fair chance of giving my acting passion that time & commitment it needed and only then to gauge whether this is meant for me or not.
