The actress talked about how she was not comfortable wearing a pallu onscreen and so she declined the offer. On being quizzed if she is proud of the choices she made until now in her career. She answered, "I remember there was a time when I was very new to the industry. I remember I knew a creative from my first show and she called me for an audition and there was a pallu on my head and I asked them why am I wearing a pallu. She told me that is the character and I walked out. That show was Sasural Simar Ka which went on for many years."

For the unversed, Sasural Simar Ka starred Dipika Kakar, Avika Gor, Shoaib Ibrahim and others and was a huge hit. However, Ridhi has no hard feelings for not signing the show. "Though that was a big show, in hindsight I never felt bad about not taking up that show. So, I am proud of my choices. I am very happy with the way things have panned out for me. I have always believed that I am here to stay. I am an actor forever," she added. Asur: 5 Reasons Why You Should Be Checking Out Arshad Warsi, Barun Sobti and Ridhi Dogra’s Web-Series.
