While she wishes to change the pace of her career trajectory, Aakanksha Singh has no regrets thus far. She made a splash on television with 'Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha' and then vanished from the scene until we spotted her again in 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania' (2017) and 'Runway 34'. Singh forayed into digital entertainment with 'Escaype Live' and is headlining 'Rangbaaz: Darr Ki Rajneeti' on ZEE5.

Asked why she didn’t continue her television and Bollywood stint after Badrinath…, she says that people began to “typecast” her. “I didn’t want to be stuck in something I am not enjoying. In television, you tend to work for 30 days a month and [end up] doing the same thing for years. Somewhere, the actor inside me was not [satisfied] doing that. I was not willing to do any television show because they wanted me to play a mother to a 21-year-old again [after Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha].” Post Badrinath, where she garnered the experience of being on a Hindi film set, Singh was typecast again as the “heroine’s best friend”. “I wanted to run away from that. I drifted to the south because I liked the work that came to me.”
