I don't care if Ankita plays a young role or an old role, so long as she gets to play a well-written character and one that she is happy of playing and doing justice to.
As for her age, whether she won awards at age 26 or age 28, or whatever awards she wins after her 30s, what does that matter? How does age matter? Some of the best and biggest actors in the Indian film industry as well as the TV industry are 30 or over. Vidya Balan, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra among some of the top actresses.
On Indian television, Sakshi Tanwar, Shweta Tiwari, both who worked with EK, have done fine in their 30s.
How long does youth last anyway that there's such a fuss about it here? Youth is fleeting but talent transcends age. Please let us move past this age issue 🥱.
