Mumbai, Feb 8 (NationPress) Rashmi Desai has participated in various television series throughout her career. Like many other actors in the TV industry, she dreams of collaborating with some of Bollywood's most acclaimed directors.

I am prepared to audition and hope to have the chance in this lifetime to work alongside them. The way they offer a fresh outlook on life is truly remarkable.”
When questioned about whether Bollywood tends to typecast television actors, she responded, “Yes, they do. Challenges are a part of life. When you put in effort and deliver quality work, you are destined to enjoy the rewards of your hard work. Yes, you encounter hurdles; they often categorize you as a television actor, OTT actor, or film actor, but I believe an actor is simply an actor. I also think that taking a break is equally important for an actor.”
