Nikita Dutta states the shift between the mediums is not easy, and it is disappointing for an artist to face such a situation. However, she also believes that there are open-minded people who recognise talent and give a chance to shine.

The actress agrees that switching between mediums was not easy. “I wouldn’t deny that I haven't faced any difficulty while switching mediums. I have received cold reactions towards my choices. I started with films and then I jumped to television, so when I was venturing into the medium, a few people told me that T.V is a black hole and I will never come out of it. I wouldn’t be able to do anything else rather than long-running daily soaps. But I still went ahead as I followed my gut feeling.”


While talking about the experience on television, Dutta said, “I had brilliant three years of experience, I have learned so much from the medium. I owe a lot of my acting skills to these three years of television."

When Nikita was planning to come back to films, she received some negative feedback from few naysayers. Said Dutta, “After my first show, I was trying to get back to films, I already did 'Gold', and I was filming for 'Kabir Singh'. So, at that time, I heard from 1-2 people saying that ‘But she’s from television, I don’t think she will be able to act. She might go over-the-top as she’s from television.’"

Nikita states the shift between the mediums is not easy, and it is disappointing for an artist to face such a situation. However, she also believes that there are open-minded people who recognise talent and give a chance to shine.

On the work front, Nikita will soon be seen in Bosco Martis’s dance film 'Rocket Gang', opposite Aditya Seal.
