“It is unfortunate that in every industry, there are people who take ad...” — Ishita Dutta Quote

It is unfortunate that in every industry, there are people who take advantage of needy people, but I would like to tell all the budding actors not to be vulnerable and always have a backup plan because rejection in auditions and films is not the end of the world.

TV gives people a chance to establish as an actor.

I remember when I got my first salary, Rs 3000/- while working as an assistant director during my college summer vacation and I gave it to my mom.

I think TV content has changed a lot and even films, especially after the web platform has come in. Now, there's an option for everyone, you'll find content that appeals to you. So, I really like how storytelling is changing.

It's become like an urban myth. I don't know her. I don't know anybody she knows. I was standing there at the party by myself for an hour and then I left. Once I got those auditions, I worked really hard. Nobody did me any favors.

You have to keep persevering. An actor goes to a lot of auditions and doesn't get the part.

In my early 20s, I started doing comedy. I started doing auditions in Chicago. It led me to writing my own sketches for Second City. The team we had was called Forgotten City - that was the beginning of my writing.

I have always been pretty resilient. I think you have to be in this career, with so many auditions and so much rejection.
