SHOULD LEARN FROM NEW-AGE ACTORS: DIPSHIKKHA
Dipshikkha Nagppal, who is known for her vivacious personality, reveals that she was actually very
shy and reserved as a youngster. The actress, who has been a part
of showbiz since the 90s, says, "Acting just happened to
me. I remember I had to replace a girl, who had participated in a modelling
competition in college and I won that. After that, I kept getting modelling
assignments and people started noticing me. I was quite shy and had a lot of insecurities. But fortunately, I had the confidence that I
could make it."
Over the years, a lot has changed in the industry and the actress, who is currently seen in the TV show Megha Barsenge, feels that the profession is taken more seriously. Dipshikkha shares, "Today's generation knows what they’re doing and the competition is fierce. I believe I should learn from them rather than offer them any advice."
"When I look back on my career, I sometimes regret the mistakes I made. I wish I had someone to guide me.”
