The 35-year-old actress revealed how she started her journey from a music video to doing TV shows. She also spoke about the struggles she faced while giving auditions for several roles and how she got her due with TMKOC. Scroll down to know more.
Talking to ETimes, Anjali Mehta aka Sunayana Fozdar revealed that she wasn’t from the film families and how she broke from being typecast. “There have been many. For me, touchwood, getting work was never difficult. I am not from this background. I got picked up from college for my first music video on Bappi da’s Gori Hai Kalaiyan. Then I did South films, ads and then I got my first break in TV – Santaan. But the point was, to get good roles was always a struggle. If I did a particular role, I would get typecast in that. So to break free from those stereotypes was a struggle. At that time, while casting people would say, ‘Aap fair ho, you look very modern.’ I started my career playing the role of a middle class girl from a ‘chawl’. People would say, ‘Aap gareeb nahi dikh sakte’. So I would get typecast a lot. But thankfully, I have got good opportunities,” she said.
