Rasika Dugal recalls career turning point after decade of struggle

Mumbai, Sep 17 (UNI) For Rasika Dugal, nearly a decade after she graduated from the Film and Television Institute of India, the period around 2016-17 brought a noticeable change in her career, with regular work and greater recognition finally coming her way.
Dugal talked about her professional journey and struggles with her husband and actor Mukul Chaddha in Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi's show 'Double Date'.
Having graduated from the FTII in 2006, Dugal said it took almost a decade for her work to find broader recognition. She worked in films like "Qissa" and "Kshay," but didn't receive the recognition she expected at the time.
The 41-year-old actress said that after 2016, she received consistent work with films like "Manto," "Mirzapur," and "Delhi Crime." Meanwhile, the growing influence of broadcast platforms opened up new work opportunities for artistes.
In the programme, Dugal and Chaddha also shared their experiences related to their relationship, marriage and personal life.
