‘My heart goes out to Sri Lankans’
Actor Avantika Hundal, who had been away from the small screen for quite some time, believes in balancing work and leisure in the right equation. Known for shows like Yeh Hai Mohabbatein and Man Ki Awaaz Pratigya, Hundal shares that she had been busy travelling, trying her hand at Punjabi cinema and also took up some tourism projects.
The 29-year-old has been associated with Sri Lankan tourism and finds the prevailing crisis in the country really disturbing. “My last Colombo trip was to promote tourism in adjoining small towns. I had such a memorable time there. And, just after I returned, I got the news of power cuts as well as another crisis. Emergency being imposed there due worsening situations came as a shock to me. My heart goes out to the people there and I wish things to be back as they were earlier,” she shares.
On the subject of work, Hundal, who has been playing central characters, tells us that for her, the size of the role doesn’t matter.
“I have been part of shows that have run for the longest period, but the length of the role never tops my priority. Instead, how impactful it is in the long run is what matters the most,” elaborates the actor, who has also been seen in films like Mr & Mrs 420 (2014) and its 2018 sequel, and is currently playing an antagonist on a TV show.
