Ridhi likes being a TV face

- Yashika Mathur

In the day and age where television actors are vigorously trying their luck in Bollywood to get a break, actor Ridhi Dogra says that she doesn’t like to be a part of the rat race. Ridhi, who has been working on the small screen for a decade, says, “I like being a part of the television industry and being known as an Indian TV face. I don’t look down upon it.” She adds, “I’m aware of its shortcomin­gs. I know that there’s a divide in what they show on television and what is happening in the real world. But I enjoy being the person who bridges the gap. I make sure that the character is real, and people can identify with it,” says Ridhi, adding, “I love being part of the industry. I would like to tell people that we are cool and we are equally good.” Married to actor Raqesh Vashisth, Ridhi has certain expectatio­ns from the film industry. “The kind of creative satisfacti­on that I get from television, I would want that in films too. I like to explore, irrespecti­ve of the medium,” says the actor. Ridhi says that she is still open to all kinds of good work. “I want to work in all mediums. I’m kind of an outsider. I don’t know beyond the casting process, what helps you cut it, but apart from that I’d want to see myself on the big screen, but I don’t think I’m missing anything,” she says.
