Did Big Production Labels Pave The Way For Rashi in Bollywood?

Talking about associations with big labels like Dharma Productions and Ajay Devgn FFilms Pen India Limited, Rashi revealed that one has to constantly prove in order to pave his or her way. She said, “Once a project is released, then you’ll immediately have to see what’s coming next because there are so many other projects that are releasing so, I think you’ll always have to keep positioning yourself to deliver better. But of course, having the body of work that I have had, has definitely helped me in people taking me more seriously. I’ve been fortunate enough to be working with some of the best in the industry and of course that carries weight.”

Casting Couch to Digital Relevance, Rashi Mal Speaks About it All

The casting couch is a grim truth of the entertainment industry that struggling performers and others who fell short of their dreams often bring up. Rashi thinks that the casting couch applies to all industries, not only those in the film industry. She said, “People did warn me but then again there are all kinds of people everywhere. That is just not true of our business, that is true of any business. You learn how to conduct yourself, you learn how to deal with people who are not giving you the best energy or the best vibes. That’s life!”

Speaking about staying relevant on social media to get roles, she said, “I think there are different people that work in different ways. Some people will consider this as important, some people won’t. I think if you’re talented, you’ll eventually shine through. But yes, you cannot undermine the importance of social media. It is important to put yourself out there at least in some capacity.” Rashi believed that if one doesn’t adapt to changes, he or she will be left behind.”
