Actress Rasika Dugal feels the careers of no two actors is ever the same, and no actor can have the same experience as others in the profession. Rasika made her Bollywood debut in Bollywood in 2008 with “Tahaan”. She was then seen in projects like “Tu Hai Mera Sunday” and “Hamid’’. She was also seen in OTT series as “Mirzapur” and “Delhi Crime”, and the digitally-released film “Lootcase”.
Rasika says she doubts herself almost “everyday”. “I just think that because I have had many years of experience I know how to possibly manage my self doubt around certain things a little better than others, but as the years go by your career changes. There are new challenges everyday and the difficult thing and interesting thing about this career is that there is no one way to do it,” Rasika told IANS.
“Your career cannot be a mirror image of somebody else’s. No actor’s experiences can be similar to the others,” she pointed out.
“There is no benchmark, So, every actor’s journey is unique and it throws unique challenges at you. So, self doubt is always around,” she said.
Rasika Dugal is gradually establishing her prowess as a voice-over artiste as well. An upcoming series will mark her third project in creating audio content, after Durjoy Dutta’s The Last Boy to Fall in Love, and selected chapters of Like a Girl.
“The offer came my way when I was growing tired of doing household work, and needed something creative to occupy my mind,” says the actor of the 21-episode Audible Suno series that is based on screenwriter and playwright Vekeana Dhillon’s experiences during the lockdown. “It’s a light-hearted story based on Vekeana’s encounters with her brother and husband. It is about how she tries to get in touch with a friend, who is active on social media, but refuses to respond to her voice chats.”
She believes the series will be ideal as an audio series since it isn’t a subject that would shine in equal measure on the visual medium. A dramatic scene, she says, was among the hardest to pull off. “It is a scene when the refrigerator stops working. The scene demanded that the high-strung character attempt to explain the noises she hears from the broken fridge. That was rather challenging to perform. Luckily, Manish Dongardive, who is also a voice artiste, and Shoa Hussain, guided me when things got tough. This experience taught me how to sound rushed without actually rushing through the scene, and bringing clarity.”AGENCIES
