After working with Salman Khan and choreographer Thomas Paulson, Anna joined an acting course in Balaji Productions. Soon, she ventured into acting and bagged roles in shows like Crime Patrol and Savdhaan India.

Talking about her journey in the acting world, Anna Jaisinghani shared that she originally hails from Gwalior. She shared, “I have a degree in BA English Honours. I loved to dance and act. I always wanted to be famous, and it all started with dancing. While I was in college, I used to teach dance to kids. I came to Mumbai and did an acting course at Balaji Telefilms. After that, I got small roles in Savdhaan India, Fear Files, etc. Sony TV’s show Dekha Ek Khwaab, which also starred Aruna Irani ji, became my big break.”

“I kept auditioning in Mumbai. During that time, I made some friends at the ISKCON Temple. I started taking a spiritual path and leaned towards it more. Soon, I realized that the materialistic world is an illusion. I lived in Pune also for some time, where I worked at the ISKCON temple,” Anna said.

Comparing the two lives, Anna also says, “There is a huge difference. In my old life, you could show off; it all looked glamorous. You spend money, shop, and live in big flats, but here, there is devotion. Sometimes I think about the older days and laugh.”
