My whole life, which had moulded itself around that one big moment, went kaput. I ended up sitting at home for the next eight months. During those initial days, I was getting calls for meetings, new projects, and even another film with the same production house. But suddenly, everything went silent. It took me a year to recover from that."Akansha Ranjan Kapoor on self-doubtsShe revealed that she has now become more conscious about her choices and wants to do quality work that creates an impact, rather than just being one of 18 actors standing in a frame. She further spoke about the pain of being in front of the camera, and said, “I’ll send a voice note and immediately think, ‘I can’t stand my own voice.’ I obsess over the smallest things, like why my hand was positioned a certain way in a scene. My sister tells me, ‘No one will notice,’ but I just can’t let it go. This is the pain of being in front of the camera. It’s the nature of the medium. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I just hope to find a better balance and not be so harsh on myself."Meanwhile, Akansha is currently seen in the show Gram Chikitsalay, which revolves around the story of a young, idealistic, and brilliant Dr Prabhat, who takes charge of a neglected Primary Health Centre in a North Indian village, hoping to bring about much-needed changes — only to realise it is he who will have to change before anything else. Helmed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, the show also stars Amol Parashar, Vinay Pathak, Garima Vikrant Singh, and others in key roles. It is available to watch on Prime Video.
