Kamya Panjabi, known for her role as Mohini in Ishq Jabariya on Sun Neo, shares her secret to success in an industry often driven by shortcuts and flattery. With over two decades of experience in Indian television, Kamya emphasizes the value of hard work and authenticity over relying on others or shortcuts.
Staying True to Herself
Kamya revealed, “I’ve never been into flattering people to get ahead. Maybe my success would have come sooner if I had, but that’s just not who I am. Some try to stay in people’s ‘good books’ for opportunities, but I’ve always focused on my work. I believe in letting my performance speak for itself.”
Dedication to Craft
Even after 20 years in the industry, Kamya remains committed to her craft, often working 12-hour days on set. “I don’t allow dupes to replace me. I feel responsible for giving my best,” she said. “I never compromise or take shortcuts. Every character I play gets my full effort, and that’s why people still remember roles like Sindoora, Preeto, or Didun.”
Advice for Aspiring Actors
Kamya has some advice for newcomers: “Being someone’s Facebook friend won’t get you roles. In television, it’s all about fitting the character and delivering. Focus on your craft, adapt to roles, and that’s how you succeed in this industry.”
