'No Acting Offers Since 3 Years': Aahana Kumra Reveals As She Forays Into Production

Lipstick Under My Burkha fame Aahana Kumra has shared her decision to venture into production after receiving fewer acting opportunities that align with her preferences. Aahana revealed, "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 for so many years, and I am completely fine with it."

What Led Aahana Kumra To Pursue Production?

The actor explained, speaking to Hindustan Times that the shift may be due to the industry's focus on casting A-listers in projects. "They (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 very ‘good actor’ tag for a long now; I am done now. If you are a good actor, nobody offers you work, and yeh good actor ka tag leke mujhe kuch karna nahi hai agar kaam hi nahi milraha. I have to pay my bills!," she stated.

Aahana also shared that she has now ventured into producing content. "I have got my own production house. I am going to focus on those things now because I feel that’s the way forward for me. If I do get offered something, I’ll do it, but I work on my terms."

She further highlighted the challenges in the industry, adding, "It’s a little tough situation because the market is really bad. I know that people will not comfortably say, 'No, no, we want you.' Everyone has become so easily replaceable these days. It has become like a fish market. Jahan sassta milega vahan se lelenge.”
