Ashi Singh: Sometimes people get roles based on followers, which I don't appreciate

In the era of social media, actress Ashi Singh, who began her career with television, feels that being active on social media is essential. While the actress prefers to stay away from it, the job demands otherwise.

Talking about her social media presence, the actor says, “I don’t enjoy being on social media. But it’s important. Sometimes people get roles based on followers, which I don't appreciate. At the same time, I don't want to lose out on a good opportunity only because of that. That’s why I still show up online.”

Ashi made her TV debut with Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai and was also seen in the film Qaidi Band. When asked if doing films was ever her plan, she says, “When I was auditioning, I never thought that I’d audition for film or for TV. That was never on my mind, and I gave a chance to everything that came my way. When I got my first TV show, it was like the biggest successful thing that happened in my life. It will always remain close to me."

Ashi adds that she continues to choose roles based on the strength of the character, not the platform. “Even till now, I never think that, okay, I want to work on whatever platform. I just feel that whatever I’m playing should be good, and I should enjoy it more than anything else. My character should be remembered. People won’t remember the platform.”
