Asha Negi reveals people judged her after break-up with Rithvik Dhanjani: ‘Ab toh film actor ban gayi hai…’

Many actors have spoken about how playing dark characters affect them mentally. However, Asha Negi confessed that given she switches off easily, shooting for Abhay 3 was not tough. “I feel lucky that way because, after a cut, I don’t linger in the character, and can go back to my chilling mode. There are certain scenes where you need to cry a lot. It just weighs you down emotionally and you may feel drained. But in Abhay 3, I am a psychopath who has so much fun while committing crime. So it was fun.”

Talking about working with Kunal Kemmu, the actor called him a ‘wonderful and supportive co-star’. She added that he was quite chilled out on set and was always looking out for her. Negi said, “I am someone who is quite a zoner, and while on set, I would sometimes get lost in my world. I would be thinking quietly and Kemmu will come and ask, ‘What happened, Are you sad? Sab thik hai?’. It would be so funny as I would tell him that’s my face (laughs). It was really a lot of fun working with him.”

While Asha Negi climbs the ladder of success, there are many who try to pull her down by blaming her ambition for her break up with Rithvik Dhanjani. Sharing that she always wonders what’s the correlation between her work and personal life, the actor revealed that given the breakup and release of Ludo happened around the same time, she was blamed and judged.

“There were many who said that she has done a film and broken up. They said, ‘Ab toh film actor ban gayi hai, why will she date him (Now that she is a film actor, why will she date him).’ That’s how people judge without a thought. They create their own perspective, which is so sad. Whatever happened, it was between me and him. There is a lot of love and respect among us, and I don’t think anyone else should bother.”

Starting April 8, Abhay 3 will stream on ZEE5.
