Actress Achint Kaur opens up about asking for work online: 'The response has been so positive, I’m not ashamed to ask'

After spending years lighting up screens with her powerful performances in iconic television dramas like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kahani Ghar Ghar Kii, and Jamai Raja, actor Achint Kaur found herself in the shadows.

But recently, she made headlines for a different reason: a heartfelt video shared online in which she openly asked for work. The video quickly went viral, prompting an outpouring of support and admiration.

Talking about the response on the video, the Jamai Raja actress told Hindustan Times, “The response has been so positive. I’ve received so many calls. That’s the kind of reaction I was hoping for when I decided to post a video asking for work,” she explains.

Her absence from the industry wasn’t due to a lack of interest or passion but stemmed from deeply personal and unavoidable circumstances. “It’s not like I didn’t want to work, I couldn’t,” she says. Achint became a full-time caregiver when her mother was diagnosed with cancer, a role she dedicated herself to for nearly five years. “I even tried giving auditions from my mother’s hospital room, but nothing came of it,” she adds.
