Rasika Dugal Says Recognition Came After A Decade
Rasika Dugal is an actor who spoke about her career journey.
She said her work became more regular around 2016 and 2017.
She had left the Film and Television Institute of India in 2006.
This meant about 10 years passed before she found more continuous work.
Earlier films such as Qissa and Kshay encouraged her.
However, she said those projects were not as well known as her later work.
After 2016, projects including Manto, Mirzapur and Delhi Crime came one after another.
She said the growth of streaming platforms helped create this change.
Rasika Dugal said her work became more continuous between 2016 and 2017.

Earlier projects such as Qissa and Kshay encouraged her but were less widely known.
After 2016, Manto, Mirzapur and Delhi Crime arrived back-to-back, she said.
Dugal attributed the shift partly to the emergence of streaming platforms.
