Karishma Tanna, renowned for her iconic role in the immensely popular television show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, embarked on her acting journey with great fervor. Despite her successful stint in the television industry, the transition to the silver screen was not as smooth as expected. Tanna candidly disclosed that despite her popularity, she faced hurdles in securing acting opportunities in movies.

During auditions, Tanna encountered discouraging comments such as "You are too tall" and "Your face is too exposed since you work on TV." These remarks, rooted in preconceived notions about television actors, added to the challenges she faced in pursuing her film career.

Despite the setbacks, Tanna's determination and talent continue to shine, proving that one's potential cannot be solely defined by the medium they work in. Her resilience and ability to rise above such judgments inspire others to break through barriers and prove their worth based on their abilities rather than industry stereotypes.

Karishma Tanna, in a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, challenged the prevalent notion of a 'fresh face' that many directors and producers seem to adhere to. Expressing her skepticism, she questioned the need for a so-called fresh face when what truly matters is finding an actor who can aptly portray the character.

Tanna passionately articulated her perspective, stating, "A lot of people love to conform to the herd mentality, thinking 'if she is a TV actor, let's not cast her, let's go with a fresh face.' But what exactly is a fresh face? I fail to comprehend this concept. Only a handful of directors and producers possess the vision to look beyond the norm and discover talent against all odds."

Tanna's insightful remarks shed light on the industry's tendency to overlook experienced actors in favor of newcomers, solely based on their television background. Her questioning of the "fresh face" trend challenges the traditional casting conventions and emphasizes the importance of recognizing talent and skill rather than relying solely on preconceived notions.

Through her candid remarks, Tanna encourages a more inclusive and visionary approach to casting, promoting the exploration of diverse talents irrespective of their previous screen presence.

Reflecting on the profound impact of rejection based on her TV background, Karishma Tanna candidly expressed the emotional turmoil she experienced.

She shared her feelings, stating, "The dejection and humiliation I felt were profound.

Simultaneously, I found myself questioning why actors are confined within specific categories.

Why can't the lines be blurred? An actor is an actor, regardless of the medium they work in."

Tanna highlighted the historical divisions that separated TV, film, and theater actors, emphasizing the changing landscape that is gradually erasing these boundaries. Despite this progress, she acknowledged that the struggle for TV actors persists, burdened by the perception of being solely a "TV actor." While she acknowledged that people may respect her work, the challenge lies in finding consistent opportunities. The struggle to break free from these preconceived notions continues to be an uphill battle.

Through her candid remarks, Tanna sheds light on the ongoing struggle for acceptance and recognition faced by TV actors. She advocates for a more inclusive industry where the merits and capabilities of an actor are valued beyond the labels and stereotypes associated with their previous work.
