Yuvvika Chaudhary’s acting career has taken a backseat in recent years, and she is now concentrating on music videos. The actor, who has appeared in television shows such as Astitva…Ek Prem Kahani, Om Shanti Om (2007), Summer 2007 (2008), and Toh Baat Pakki (2010), believes that good film roles are difficult to come by.
“As an actor, I’d like to do more because I know what I’m capable of.” Yes, I agree (my talent has been not tapped). I should be getting some good film roles soon. “As an actor, you’re always looking for new challenges,” she says.
While film roles are unlikely, Chaudhary has dabbled in the digital space with the web series Roohaniyat.
So, in comparison to film, does she believe that OTT platforms provide better roles for women and, in fact, actors?
“You get very little opportunity to work in films. There are some excellent films being produced, but the number is small. People have been fortunate in the web space because they have the opportunity to perform. As an actor, you have so many options—-there are short films and seasons of various series to choose from. It has opened doors for many actors,” says the actor, who will reprise his role in Roohaniyat’s second season.
In addition, the 38-year-old owns a production company with her husband, Prince Narula. While they currently only make music videos, she is open to expanding into filmmaking, particularly as a means of gaining acting experience.
“We’re also exploring our options as producers, and we have a lot planned.” “We’re taking things one step at a time,” she concludes.
