Popular charismatic TV star Asha Negi who off-screen is a fitness-work-out-enthusiast seems super-excited about her latest image-defying role as the darker, evil character ‘Sonam Khanna ’ in crime-thriller ZEE5 web-series ‘Abhay-3’ directed by the innovative Ken Ghosh - Chaitanya Padukone
Which has the talented actor Kunal Khemmu as her co-star. Speaking to the news-media, Asha says, “ Always wanted to do something different and also defy my goody-goody positive image. Although it’s a challenge of sorts I am having fun and enjoying the grey-shades role.
Even my fans have loved my latest outing as ‘Sonam’ in Abhay-3 where I also have action mock-fight scenes as well. .Maybe they also love to hate my psycho negative-tinged character,” she laughs.
Many years ago, vivacious model-TV star Asha Negi won the ‘Uttarkhand Beauty Queen’ Award and soon she began her conquest in Mumbai’s Tellywood ( TV industry) .
Besides proving her impressive acting talents in a string of TV shows including Ekta Kapoor’s ‘Pavitra Rishta’ and ‘Bade Achhe Lagte Hain’ she excelled in reality shows as well.
With her agile dancing caliber, she won the Indian dance reality show ‘Nach Baliye-6’ along with her partner Rithvik Dhanjani in 2014 ( whom she was later dating-courting until they repotedly decided to split two years ago). The following year she even made it to the final round of the ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’ (2015).
In the recent past, the versatile Negi had successfully entered the OTT digital zone in this ALT Balaji finite (2019-20) web-show ‘Baarish’ Recalls Asha fondly, that ‘Baarish’ was a welcome relief on-screen for both the ardent web-watchers and also for us -- the cast of ‘Baarish’ .
Rains have always played a romantic catalyst in hundreds of our Bollywood movies, but this time it’s happening in a web-series where Sharman Joshi and I are several others were featuring.
After excelling in acting, dancing, daring adventure, hosting—what next on Asha’s dream-wish-list ? She reacts, “ Hmm, I would love to learn singing, because it’s a stress-buster.
In fact I had even hosted the musical reality TV show ‘Indian Idol (2015) . Given a chance I would also love to work opposite Ranbir Kapoor in a Hindi movie (blushes). Although I know I will be awe-struck initially”,.
