Some actresses, regardless of how small their roles may be, leave a lasting impact on the audience. These actresses have a unique way of connecting with the viewers through their performances. One such actress, who has steadily carved her niche in the industry and worked with several big names, is Aahana Kumra.
Aahana Kumra made her debut in 2009 with the short film Mai, but her Bollywood film debut came in 2013 with Sona Spa, directed by Makarand Deshpande. The film also featured the legendary Naseeruddin Shah. After that, the actress quickly made a name for herself with standout roles in Lipstick Under My Burkha, The Accidental Prime Minister, Inside Edge, and Call My Agent: Bollywood. She was also seen in the TV series Yudh, where she starred alongside Amitabh Bachchan, playing his daughter, Taruni Sikarwar.
However, due to a lack of good offers, she hasn’t been able to secure a film role in the last three years. Her last appearance was in Revathi’s 2022 film, Salaam Venky, alongside Kajol. In an interview, the actress expressed how the industry has become a ‘fish market’, where everyone is easily replaceable.
In a candid interview with Hindustan Times, Aahana Kumra opened up about the challenges she’s facing in the industry. She shared, “I am not being offered shows anymore. I haven’t received an offer in more than three years. Nobody is offering me anything. I used to do so much work on OTT but haven’t done any since so many years, and I am completely fine with it. The makers want to go to a star or somebody who is going to charge less. I am looking at alternate forms of cinema because I have to run my kitchen. I am trying to do something else in life. Honestly, I have carried the tag of a very ‘good actor’ for a long now, I am done now. If you are a good actor, nobody offers you work, and I don’t want this tag if I am not getting any work. I have to pay my bills.”
Aahana Kumra also made headlines when she shared a tribute to Indian Cricketer, Jhulan Goswami on social media. She posted a few photos, dressed up like the cricketer, but had darkened her skin in the pictures. This led to a severe backlash online, with many accusing her of mocking the cricketer.
