Panchayat Fame Sanvikaa Shares Note About Inequality In Industry: ‘Wish I Was An Insider'

Last Updated: Actress Sanvikaa, who plays Rinki in Panchayat, shared a cryptic note on Instagram about not getting respect in the entertainment industry. Actress Sanvikaa, known for playing the role of Rinki in Jitendra Kumar and Raghubir Yadav starrer comedy drama series 'Panchayat', has shared a cryptic note on Instagram. In her note, she wrote about the challenges of being an outsider in the entertainment industry, and how she wishes that she came from a powerful background, suggesting that it would have made her journey easier. She also expressed her frustration over not receiving respect and not being treated as an equal. While she did not exactly mention what happened, her cryptic post has garnered significant attention online. In her latest Instagram story, Sanvikaa wrote, 'Sometimes I wish I was an insider or maybe from a very powerful background, things would have been so much easier (maybe, I don't know)." She further added that her battles would have been lesser if she weren't an outsider. 'As basic as getting respect and being treated as an equal. The battles would have been lesser. Hanging on…" she wrote. Check out her story below. Sanvikaa plays the role of Rinki- Pradhanji and Manju Devi's daughter- in Panchayat. She is gearing up for the release of the highly-anticipated Panchayat season 4, which is set to premiere on June 24, on Amazon Prime Video. Born as Pooja Singh, Sanvikaa is originally from Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur. She completed her graduation in engineering but never really wanted to step into a 9-to-5 job. Last year, in an interview with a YouTube channel, she opened up about her career trajectory. She revealed that when she thought of pursuing her acting career, she told her parents that she was going to Bangalore for a job but instead flew to Mumbai. In Mumbai, she had to weather some setbacks but soon got work as an outfit assistant director. She simultaneously auditioned for several other titles and a few weeks later got a commercial ad. Her biggest break came when she was roped in to play Rinki in Panchayat. This turned her into a household name and everyone on social media couldn't stop talking about it. She later went on to be a part of several OTT shows including Ravi Dubey starrer Lakhan Leela Bhargava and Hajamat among others. First Published:

‘Would be amazing to explore projects here' actor Alia Bhatt gets candid about the city

From the poised and sophisticated teen girl in the film Student of the Year to milestones like portraying the unapologetically strong Gangubai Kathiawadi – which earned her a National Award, and stepping into motherhood, actor Alia Bhatt's professional and personal arc is something all of us have witnessed over the years. One such milestone in the journey was her initiative to start a sustainable clothing brand for children and mothers – Ed-a-Mamma. Recently, the brand, in partnership with Reliance Retail, opened their first store in Bengaluru aiming to bring sustainability and conscious living to the city. 'Bengaluru has a vibrant and conscious community, and I hope it becomes more than just another brand here; I hope it becomes a part of the city's larger conversation on mindful, sustainable living,' she shares. She started it before becoming a mother, unmindful of the significant changes she would have to incorporate post the life-altering event. 'Becoming a mother has only deepened my connection to the brand in such a personal and powerful way. I'm always thinking about comfort, texture, safety, softness, and even how easy something is to put on and remove,' she says. Besides her entrepreneurial journey, she also gets candid about her potential entry into the Kannada film industry. 'I have always admired the storytelling and creativity coming out of Karnataka,' she says, adding, 'Whether as an actor or even on the production side, it would be amazing to explore and collaborate on projects.' Sharing a special bond with the city, she adds, 'Even though my visits to Bengaluru have been short, they have been full of love and warmth. The food, the energy, the city have always been welcoming.' Adorning many hats as an actor, mother, singer, and entrepreneur she embraces the challenges and laughs them off. 'The biggest challenge for me is time – there's never enough of it! But I'm learning to prioritise and be fully present in whatever I'm doing at the moment,' she laughs. As the store comes into its own, Bhatt is hopeful of it bringing a change. 'In Bengaluru, I believe our planet-friendly approach will really resonate, encouraging families to make better and kinder choices. It's about planting seeds of change, one product at a time, and the 'garden city' feels like the perfect place to do that,' she says.
