Asha
Negi
is
one
the
talented
actresses
in
the
television
industry.
The
actress
will
be
seen
in
the
third
season
of
Abhay,
which
also
stars
Kunal
Kemmu,
Divya
Agarwal
and
Tanuj
Virwani
in
the
lead
roles.
Recently,
in
an
interview
with
News18,
Asha
spoke
about
her
journey
from
Pavitra
Rishta
to
Abhay
3.
She
spoke
about
her
struggling
days
and
revealed
how
she
was
demotivated.
The
actress
added
that
she
was
told
that
she
looks
too
'Pahadi'
to
be
an
actress.
Talking
about
her
struggling
days,
Asha
said
that
it
was
not
easy
and
was
a
roller
coaster
ride.
She
said
that
she
had
come
to
Bombay,
and
initially,
it
was
not
difficult
to
get
work
as
she
got
work
without
experience,
but
doing
that
work,
the
experience
of
it,
learning
acting
through
that
experience
was
a
bit
of
a
struggle.
Asha
said
that
post
Pavitra
Rishta,
she
did
Nach
Baliye,
Fear
Factor,
and
hosted
Indian
Idol,
but
after
these,
she
had
done
two
TV
shows,
both
of
which
got
shut
in
a
month,
because
of
which
her
confidence
went
for
a
toss.
The
actress
added
that
there
was
a
time
when
she
thought
that
she
felt
it
was
time
for
her
to
pack
her
bags
and
return
to
Dehradun.
But
she
later
realised
her
love
for
acting
and
started
watching
a
lot
of
shows
and
films
from
the
perspective
of
acting
and
she
did
a
couple
of
workshops.
Asha
recalls
how
she
was
demotivated.
She
told
the
entertainment
portal,
"People
used
to
demotivate
me
a
lot.
They
used
to
think,
especially
in
Dehradun,
not
really
in
Bombay.
In
Bombay,
hardly
but
jiss
shehr
se
tum
hote
ho
na
vahan
ke
log
tumhe
zyada
demotivate
karte
hai
(The
city
you
belong
to,
that's
where
people
demotivate
you
a
lot).
People
used
to
do
that
to
me
a
lot.
Yehi
lagta
tha
unko
ke
kya
hoga
(They
used
to
think
what
will
happen),
a
girl
from
Dehradun
will
go
to
Bombay
and
become
an
actress,
aisa
toh
nahi
ho
sakta
(This
isn't
possible)."
She
added,
"Sometimes,
they
would
say
this
out
of
concern
also.
They
would
be
scared
and
want
you
to
do
a
9-5
job,
get
married,
and
have
kids.
There
was
one
time
when
somebody
told
me,
'you
look
too
pahadi
to
become
an
actress,
you
have
these
oriental
features'.
This
was
in
Mumbai.
Somebody
told
me
this."
When
asked
if
she
left
television
for
OTT,
she
said
that
people
want
to
do
different
characters
and
keep
shuffling
their
projects,
which
was
one
of
the
big
reasons
for
the
shift.
She
added
that
in
OTT
medium,
you
do
a
show
and
finish
it
in
a
month
and
move
on
to
another
project,
which
she
really
liked
and
enjoyed
doing.
She
feels
it
(OTT)
is
less
hectic,
not
monotonous
and
one
gets
to
do
a
lot
of
characters.
