For eight years, actor Sriti Jha infused life to the character of Pragya Arora on the small screen. Now she is enjoying the process of searching for new avenues to experiment. “There’s so much more to learn, and grow,” says Jha, who has joined a stuntbased reality show.

“Just the fact that it’s a reality show and I’m not portraying a character is outside my comfort zone... More than anyone else, I’m looking forward to surprise myself,” says the actor, who has done shows like Shaurya Aur Suhani and Dil Se Di Dua... Saubhagyavati Bhava.

Jha also shares that she is not restricting herself to any medium, and is open to exploring with future projects. “I’m open to all acting jobs. I don’t know whether there is a particular kind of role that I would like to do. But whatever I have been auditioning for till now, no two roles have been similar. I didn’t get through any, but it was so nice to audition for so many different parts,” she tells us.

Going through the whole process of picking a project, giving auditions, not getting the part, after so long, what sort of emotion does it evoke? “It is very exciting. I loved preparing for the auditions. I loved going and auditioning after so long. I am enjoying that process so far,” shares Jha.

As she moves ahead with a new adventure, she hopes to continue “learning and growing in the process of creating this fictional person that does not exist, and as an artiste”. She also acknowledges the change that digital space has brought about in the industry.

“Content has evolved with the web medium coming in. There is an opportunity for more people to tell stories. It is brilliant and beautiful. There is space for every artiste, and for audience to consume all kinds of content,” she signs off.
