Actress Charrul Malik, who used to be a journalist before she started acting, says that the various changes in her career have involved a lot of struggle. However, she says that she loves the way her career has shaped up.
“I'm very happy with my career right now because I have come a long way, from different backgrounds and after doing different things. I should say I have experimented a lot. From a law graduate to a mainstream news anchor to an entertainment producer and anchor and now an actor. I'm very happy with my career graph and I think it has shaped up very well and I have really worked hard on it and I'm still working hard and shall be working hard tomorrow as well. Each day is a learning day,” she says.

She adds, “When I look back, there were a lot of struggles. Without struggle no one reaches where they're in their life. I missed a few opportunities. When I was in a news channel, I was under contract. I was offered Bigg Boss. I couldn't go because of that contract and was bound. I missed that opportunity. I still regret the same. We all have to handle the situation well because we have no other option. I was a little sad for a day. But later I thought that maybe this opportunity was not meant for me and after that during my tenure with the news channel I was called to the Bigg Boss house with Farah Khan and was there for a good 4 to 5 episodes.”

She says, “I'm looking for good opportunities, to do impactful roles in web series and films and even If I get a nice TV show. I don't mind doing that. I have played so many characters so I can't stick to one thing. And I don't regret it. I'm open to do different roles, characters where I can prove myself.”
Ask her how she keeps herself updated, and she says, “I believe in being myself first because I do not copy anyone. Firstly, I see every actor from this perspective, how they're acting, what's their USP, but I don't believe in copying anybody. Nowadays people copy. You have to be original first. The more natural you are, the more you will come out as a nice actor. So, I think, for the betterment of my craft, I keep my eyes and ears open. I watch everybody in movies, web series and other platforms and try to absorb the qualities of good actors. I don't know whether I'm successful in doing that or not but I don't want to lose myself. I want to be in control and be myself. You should create your own niche and keep your style original. It will be great. Work on your craft. I think observing is the best thing you can do and you have to be a good listener too. That's what I'm doing and is working for me.”

She loves watching films, series and shows and says that each one teaches her something. “The movie I have watched several times is Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. I have been following anchor-based shows because I have been an anchor and would love to anchor a good show someday as an entertainment anchor post because that was my forte. I like to watch shows based on anchoring like Kaun Banega Crorepati. I connect with reality shows more than serials and comedy shows. I used to watch F.I.R a lot before and I loved The Family Man. So there are a lot of shows and web series that I love. Delhi Crime is another one of my favourties. Shefali Shah is a brilliant actress. There are different actors whom I watch and learn from and they're natural actors like Pankaj Tripathi, Shefali Shah and mnay more. I love the way they act and carry any character so smoothly. If we talk about Superstars then of course there's Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan sir and I am a hard core fan of Manoj Bajpayee'' she says.
