Actress Rinku Dhawan has expressed her desire to work in the OTT and web series space, after boasting of a elaborate career for over two decades in the GEC space.

The actress took to the comment section of a casting post on social media, to seek for work in the digital space of the entertainment industry.

The casting post, shared by a platform looking for fresh talent for a web series, caught the attention of several aspiring actors. Among them was the best established actress, Rinku Dhawan, who openly put forward her interest in being part of the digital entertainment industry.

She wrote, '... I want to work in web series.'

Interestingly, Rinku's public appeal for work echoes a move made by veteran actress Neena Gupta, a few years ago, who had also taken to social media to seek roles.

Neena had taken to her social media account back then and written, 'I live in Mumbai and am a good actor looking for good parts to play.'

A few months ago, actress Divyanka Tripathi had also shared a post expressing her interest in exploring opportunities in the voice industry. She wrote on her social media account, 'Exploring voice work opportunities. Would love to collaborate and lend my voice to meaningful projects.'

Talking about Rinku, the actress has had a long and notable career in Indian television.

She is best known for her role as Chhaya in the iconic show Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii and many more.

She was last seen in the hit show Anupamaa, where she portrayed an antagonist.

On the personal front, Rinku was married to actor Kiran Karmarkar, who essayed the role of Om Agarwal, her on-screen brother in the hit show Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii.

The two reportedly fell in love during the shoot of the show and got married in 2001. After over 15 years of marriage, the couple parted ways and finalised their divorce in 2017. They have a son together.

Rinku was also seen in the reality show Bigg Boss 17, where she was appreciated for her outspoken, bold and strong personality.

It's a bit sad that established actors have to publicly ask for work. Shows the reality of the industry - out of sight, out of mind. But smart move following Neena Gupta's path. That worked out brilliantly for her!

Respect for putting herself out there. No shame in asking. She's a capable actress with great screen presence from her Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii days. OTT could use more seasoned performers instead of just new faces.

Honestly, I find this trend a bit unprofessional. Casting directors should be approaching talent, not the other way round on public forums. But given how crowded the market is, maybe this is the new normal. All the best to her.

Chhaya ji is looking for work! 😍 She is such a fine actress. Our mothers grew up watching her. Web series will get a huge boost if they cast her. Waiting to see her in something like 'Delhi Crime' or 'Made in Heaven'.

Shows the power shift. Earlier it was only TV or films. Now OTT is the main platform for actors who want to do meaningful work. Good luck to her. Hope she gets a meaty role soon.
