Aadhya is still in the learning phase. Every new day she learns new techniques which enhance her acting skills. Asking about her acting experience in most-touted Bombay Begums, she said, “For many acting is a routine work or just a small task to do, but for me especially, acting is one of the soothing places on the earth where I forget my worries and I truly dedicate myself in the character which certainly turns out best.”
Talking about the Bombay Begums experience, Aadhya explained, “Bombay Begum’s cast was like a dream come true moment for me when I met many senior & reputed actors in the film industry who were always at my back encouraging me to do my best all the time, in every scene. I learned many new things, grasp many new skills, and most satisfying, I understood people, society. Experience is the best thing! You get to know many things through your experience and yes, Bombay Begums taught me the best things in life!”
Asking about how she chooses her films, Aadhya told, “I sincerely thank Singaporean Cinema for being kind to me and this is the reason why I stepped into more serious roles. When I get any offer, I firstly challenge myself for the character I want to play. I get many offers for TV shows as well as for movies. Sometimes, I am also asked to choose between TV & Films. My answer to such questions will always remain the same. A character, whether for a TV Show or a Film, when played with true devotion and uniqueness, the efforts of the actor always get a highlight & I am truly ready to accept any challenge for any character in my life. I want to be successful in every role I am playing. Well, the Web is currently the new normal for both movies and TV Shows. Bombay Begums was an engaging web series in which I have accepted the challenge of the role and tried my level best to justify my role in it.”
Presently Aadhya Anand is adored by the amazing work-life with zero intentions of backing out now. At this stage, she seemed to be dedicated and devoted to her work life. She is selective in picking her roles and gives 100% in enacting them. There are two upcoming ambitious projects in the pipeline for which she will soon start the shooting.
