Ridhi stated that she learned and dedicated herself to the process.
During the conversation, Ridhi Dogra recalled a specific incident while shooting for a show, where she suggested some improvisation to her directors. In response, she revealed that the directors made comments like, "She will get the Oscars."
Ridhi continued, "These are deflating comments, and I understand why people think the way do because no one is taking pride in TV." The Maryada fame remembered, "I even fought. If somebody is going to make me feel small, I would always come back and tell them off."
The actress recalled that during the shoot of the show, one of the co-actors told her that the director mentioned that he couldn't shoot the show like a big film as the actress (Ridhi) was not Aishwarya Rai.
Ridhi mentioned, "I confronted the director and complained about it. The director had said, 'Yeh kaunsa Aishwarya Rai hai (She is not Aishwarya Rai),' and I told him, 'Aap kaunsa Mani Ratnam ho (You're not Mani Ratnam)."
