Niharika's relatives not supportive of her decision to become an actress
TV actress Niharika Chouksey has revealed that she faced discrimination from her family members because she is female - just like the titular role she is playing in the show Faltu.
"I had a similar experience like the lead character in Faltu when I told my parents I wanted to make a career in acting," she said.
"They were pretty supportive but my relatives weren't. They were like 'girls shouldn't be working in this field'. This clearly shows their lack of knowledge about an acting career and how discriminating they are."
