Raashi Khanna who is known for her ravishing looks is over the moon with the reviews her Hindi project Farzhi is getting from all quarters. Farzi is directed by Raj and DK and starred Vijay Sethupathi and Shahid Kapoor in important roles.
Speaking about her journey, she said “It’s a bit surprising actually to realise that I have completed a decade in the film industry. I still feel like a student in cinema, trying to understand the nuances of the craft and improve myself. It’s been an enriching journey,” On doing content-driven roles, Raashi says “Actors get content-driven films only if they prove themselves. After my first film Oohalu Gusagusalade (2013) I did several masala flicks. I auditioned for several films too. Raj & DK saw one of my old auditions and my videos in Tholi Prema and cast me in Farzi,”
Elaborating further about her looks and usage of makeup, Raashi shares“It’s OK to drop my make-up if the character needs it, because as actors, we look forward to living the role with authenticity,” On the challenges she faced and Godfather in the industry, Raashi shared “In the effort to evolve as actors and improve with every film, we do put ourselves under pressure. But that’s the challenge. Every film is a risk, so we need to be courageous to choose this profession, particularly without a godfather,” She continued
“The biggest challenge I encountered is the way I look. Since many think I’m good for masala entertainers and never tried to cast me for content-driven films."
About her ups and downs in the industry, Raashi reveals “I have seen ups and downs but I never gave up on myself during my low phase, and perhaps that’s what helped me not to take my setbacks seriously. The effort was always to work harder and learn from my mistakes,” On her 3 AM friends, Raashi adds
, “It’s tough to have people in the industry as best friends because after we do films we move on to other films, it’s like a professional space. I don’t have any 3AM friends from the film industry, but I have friends outside the film circle.”
