Chitrangda

Singh has seen the film industry up close and personal. With over 20 years of experience, the actress has navigated through internal politics and power plays to establish her name. In an exclusive interview with Zoom after the release of her latest film, Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders, Chitrangda agreed that powerful people within the industry always create obstacles, especially when the stakes are high. In an industry where there’s a lot to gain and lose, actors must learn to either fight or manifest for fate to be on their side. She linked reality to the narrative shown in Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders.

Talking to Zoom and sharing her insights into internal politics and power games, Chitrangda said more powerful people always stand between the person’s progress. “It will always happen. In this industry, there is so much to gain and lose. Whenever you’re in a place where there’s fame and a lot more to gain, there will be so many people standing in between. As the stakes go up, there will be people standing in between. Either you have to fight or have fate by your side to go through,” Singh said.When asked whether it was fate or fight in her journey, Chitrangda added, “In my case, it was both. You have to rely on both. Ek se kuch nahi hoga. You have to fight and depend on fate that it works out.”
