‘Musafir Café’ actress Vedika Pinto talks about working with Anurag Kashyap.
Actress Vedika Pinto, who worked with filmmaker Anurag Kashyap in the film “Nishaanchi,” has opened up about the valuable lessons she learned during the experience. She said that working with Kashyap taught her important lessons about life and helped her develop a better understanding of herself.
She revealed that one of the biggest takeaways from her journey was learning to accept herself. Vedika also spoke about the role of networking in the film industry. Recalling how she eventually got the opportunity to meet Kashyap, she said she had wanted to meet the filmmaker for a long time. Her agent eventually arranged the meeting, during which Kashyap noticed something in her that led to her being considered for “Nishaanchi.”
The actress shared, “Working with Anurag sir taught me about life as much as it taught me about acting. It is difficult to explain in words, but because of Nishaanchi and Anurag sir, I learned to accept myself, and that has been one of the biggest lessons of my journey.”
When asked about the importance of networking in the film industry, Vedika agreed that building professional connections can play a significant role in finding opportunities. “It depends on what you mean by networking. I wanted to meet Anurag Kashyap for a long time, and my agent finally arranged that meeting. During that interaction, he saw something in me that eventually led to Nishaanchi. If that meeting had never happened, I might not have got the film. So, networking is important because people need to know you before they can consider you for a role.”
