Sargun Mehta Has Come A Long Way. It was 2015 when Sargun started her journey in the Punjabi film industry with Angrej, and went on to do Love Punjab (2016), Lahoriye (2017), Qismat (2018) and Kala Shah Kala (2019). Here read below to know her journey from From The Girl-Next-Door Kind Of Looks To A Sensuous Actress.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, she said, “Finding my voice as an artist was not at all challenging. My family as well as my husband (actor Ravi Dubey) have never questioned me as to what I want to do. A lot of time, in most of the cases, people think ‘ke log kya kahenge’. But I have never had such people in my life,”
Further, she recalled one instance and said, “There was one manager that I had long back when I was doing television, and that person told me ke aapko toh character role hi karna padega, aapko aise Punjabi filmon mein heroine koi nahi lega, woh bhi bade hero ke saath. After hearing that, I just said, ‘you are fired’. And then, I did what I had to do.”
However, before gaining a foothold in the industry, the actress had to wait for years and sit at home. On this, she said, “I did just one film in three years. I always thought ‘ke nahi karna woh kaam jis mein maza nahi aa raha, zyada se zyada kya hi ho jaega’. I am fearless like that,” She added, “I want to back more realistic stories. I want people to feel connected to the show the minute they start watching it, and that is the reason why I keep on telling actors to don’t act, and stay real,”
