Mumbai, Sep 16 (IANS) Actress Ritika Singh, who is seen as Meenakshi in the web show ‘Bench Life’ has revealed the actual inspiration behind her character.
Speaking about her role’s inspiration, Ritika, who made her acting debut alongside R Madhavan, with the leading role in bilingual film ‘Irudhi Suttru/Saala Khadoos’, shared: “My character’s arc in ‘Bench Life’ is our director Manasa Sharma’s real life story. She was a living example right in front of me.”
“To see her go from a software engineer to directing her own series was so inspiring. It makes me very happy to see women chase their dreams and keep their passion alive, by following where their heart takes them and fully committing to it. One needs to be really brave to be able to defy the societal norms and expectations and truly be who they want to be. And I was so glad I got to play that character in ‘Bench Life’,” she added.
