After an illustrious career in television, Ridhi Dogra is also conquering the big screen by getting cast in big films alongside superstars such as Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. Ridhi played the role of Shah Rukh’s adoptive mother in Jawan and the role of Emraan Hashmi’s wife in Tiger 3. Ridhi recently said that now she is looking for bigger roles and has proven merit.
Speaking to the Hindustan Times, Ridhi said, “I have so much love from the audience, but the industry needs to wake up. What is it that you need to do to prove yourself? I have proved myself time and again. What is probably not there is that I am nobody’s sister, nobody’s daughter, nephew, or niece.”
“I am going to keep pushing it, wherever I can. If you work in a factory and the factory owner is more comfortable talking to his bhatija (nephew), over the guy who is putting in hours and hours, you can’t do anything. I have proven myself enough; now I need the big roles and spotlight,” she added.
Ridhi added, “There is so much noise generally around certain people, and I am going to call them talentless, without having to make anybody, but because they are everywhere and they are papped, you will cast them, and it has always been like that, there is nothing new… There were times when I was just an audience, and I would look at some people and think to myself, ‘Why is this person acting, and why is that person not doing it?’ After being an actor and in the industry, you get it.”
“Your work should be enough to speak for you, and people should reach out and call you, and that has happened… I have got calls, but whether it materialises fully or not, let’s see,” she said.
She was also seen in Mumbai Diaries 26/11.
