Quotes
Amruta Khanvilkar
Actress known for her roles in films, OTT platforms, and television.
“And I think this generation of actors has become very accepting. Earlier, there were so many norms and restrictions, like a female artiste’s career ends once she gets married, it was believed that if you played a secondary character, you would never get a main lead role offered, but that’s never the case. Another myth was that if you have done TV, you cannot do films. With time, all these norms have changed. As a female artist, many were often told that if I wanted to be a heroine, I had to be a certain weight. Now, times have changed, and it is a great time to be an artiste or even an influencer.”

“When I did action for the first time, it felt so liberating. In a Neeraj Pandey series, one female does amazing stunts. I am so glad I got this opportunity. On my first day performing stunts, I punched a stuntman, and my entire hand was swollen. This happened on 21st November, two days before my birthday. The injury was so bad that it hurt a lot. Initially, I didn’t realize, but then Emraan sir told everyone. However, having played this role, I feel fearless.”
