"I take pride in playing bold characters."
Known for her roles in Shraap, Love Guru and Namkeen Kisse, Muskaan Agarwal said she takes pride in playing bold characters.
She never planned to enter the entertainment industry. But fate had different plans for her.
The actress said: “I am a clinical physiologist by profession, and entering the entertainment industry was never part of my original plan.
“I came to Mumbai solely for my studies, with no intentions of pursuing a career in this field. However, fate had other plans for me.”
She first auditioned for a role just for fun.
“It all began when I decided to audition for a role purely for fun, without any serious aspirations. To my surprise, I got selected, and that marked the beginning of my journey in this field.”
Although Muskaan has played various characters, it was her bold roles that gained attention.
She explained: “Over time, I have portrayed a variety of genuine characters, but I was truly noticed when I took on a bold role.
“That performance garnered significant attention, and since then, my journey in the industry has been going well.”
However, she has noticed changes in the industry:
“I have been a part of several projects for Atrangii and have also worked in episodic television shows.
“However, I have observed that people do not always appreciate good performances. The industry today leans more toward bold content, as it tends to attract greater recognition and viewership.”
Muskaan Agarwal recalled her home being burgled during the early days of her career but despite the incident, she continued with her work.
“From the very start of my career, I have been associated with bold roles, so I did not find them particularly challenging to portray.
“I take pride in playing bold characters. In today’s time, actors who embrace bold avatars often gain fame, as seen in the case of Triptii Dimri.
“I consider myself a bold artist, and I believe that while actors can take on both positive and negative roles, performing bold scenes requires a certain level of experience and confidence.”
According to Muskaan Agarwal, boldness reflects confidence:
“I believe being called a ‘bold actress’ is a recognition of the confidence and versatility I bring to my roles.
“For me, boldness is not just about the characters I portray but also about the courage to take on diverse and challenging roles that push boundaries.
“Acting is an art, and I embrace every opportunity to express emotions and tell compelling stories.
“If being bold means being fearless in my craft, then I take it as a compliment.”
“That being said, I am actively looking for a good project that challenges me in new ways. However, I am thoroughly enjoying the work I am currently doing.
“I aspire to expand my presence across various OTT platforms and explore diverse opportunities.”
Muskaan Agarwal stated that she wants to leave a lasting impact, adding:
“My long-term ambition is to establish my own name in the industry and carve out a special place in people’s hearts.
“Beyond my professional aspirations, there are many things I wish to accomplish for my mother, as she holds the most important place in my life.”
