Pranali Rathod, who became a household name as Akshara from Rajan Shahi's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, has come a long way. Before making it big as Akshara, the actress played a variety of roles from positive to negative. Recently, Pranali joined ETimes TV for an exclusive chat and opened up about her journey in the industry, facing rejections and her inspirations while growing up.
"Before entering this industry for the first year, I only gave auditions because I knew where the auditions would happen. But I could not travel alone for the auditions as I was young, I would go with my mother. I would travel from one location to another in the sun. I did all that for one entire year. I struggled for one year to bag my first project. There was a point when I only got rejected and I was demotivated. I felt this was not meant for me, I was very demotivated. But my family taught me one thing to not give up because of rejections, they told me instead to learn from them. You should work on yourself and take those rejections positively if you want to be an actress. Thanks to my mother, father, and my family, I could reach so far in life," shared the actress about the rejection phase.
