Actress Rashami Desai, known for her work on the small screen and in plays such as Mrs Mara Online Che, has opened up about the challenges faced by theatre talents. She expressed that these artists often do not receive their due recognition on time and do not require validation from others.
Theatre: An Underrated Medium
In an interview with IANS, Rashami stated, "Theatre is the most underrated medium that we all do. A theatre actor works really hard. They don't get their dues on time. And the kind of fun they have, they have a small family, and they're happy with that. They don't need somebody else's validation. They don't need anybody to tell them, 'Okay, do this, do that.'"
Risk-Taking and Resilience
Rashami emphasized that theatre talents are ready to take risks and embrace failure. She added, "And if they're making any mistake, if there is any kind of failure, other people are ready to hold their hand and say, 'Okay, this too shall pass.' So, yeah, there's always a new beginning, and theatre is the best medium to learn that."
Deserving More Respect
She further remarked, "But they deserve more respect, and people should know more about theatre and theatre actors. It's a beautiful medium to work in, and I'm really happy that I did theatre. I'm sad that I did it after such a long time… I am actually grateful to Vaishali ji, Pratima ji, Ayub ji, and the people I've worked with… Ojas Rawal, Asif Patel. The people are amazing. Amazing is not the word, actually… fun and so positive."
Career Highlights
Rashami made her Hindi television debut with Raavan in 2006 and later played a dual role in Pari Hoon Main. She gained widespread fame with the show Uttaran. She has also participated in reality shows such as Zara Nachke Dikha 2, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5, Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 6, and Nach Baliye 7. Additionally, she made a cameo appearance in the Salman Khan-starrer Dabangg 2.
