"A lot of men writing women characters do this disservice. They make the characters very nice. I was a tad bored with it. I was missing complexity. But then, I got several roles that were were different. I am totally enjoying this phase," she says. Rasika adds that she has never tried to find out why she has been accepted or rejected for a role.
"Why you are or are not approached is something I don't know about. I am happy to be oblivious to this. If I find out why someone takes or rejects an actor, I will quit this career. I would rather be oblivious and delusional rather than sit and worry what people think," she says. She adds that she heavily relies on her instincts while choosing roles.
"I approach every role instinctively and I don't believe in labelling a role as strong or weak. I am uncomfortable with that as that's not how I saw it. I saw it with moments of weakness and strength,"A she says. The actress has been seen in series such as Out of Love, Delhi Crime and Mirzapur. She has also been part of movies such as Lootcase, Tu Hai Mera Sunday and Hamid.
