Ashmita Jaggi: I auditioned for Avantika and it was a positive response I got

AltBalaji is all set to come up with another project titled Girgit. And the  trailer of ALTBalaji & MX Gold's  thriller obsession Girgit. And already media has reported about Gully Boy fame Nakul Sahdev and Ashmita Jaggi has been roped in for a significant role in the series.

Girgit is a story that brings to the fore the darkness inherent within all of us. It explores the limits of human indecency, the lows that one is willing to hit, and the depths of depravity one is willing to touch to get what one truly desires. Ashmita Jaggi talks about her character and how excited she is to be part of the series..

About the character you are playing in Girgit?

I am playing a smart, confident & an opportunistic woman- Avantika. She is an interior designer who owns her own studio and wants to grow her business by hook or crook. She’s close to her mother who influences her to be a gold digger and thus pushes her to bear with the erratic behaviour of her to be husband. Though Avantika follows her mother’s lead, she is a woman of her own and doesn’t shy away from making her own choices when things go out of hand.

How did you get the part?

Initially when I got to know about the storyline I was already interested to be a part of the show. Then I learnt that a common friend is working as one of the creative heads on the show. I auditioned for Avantika and it was a positive response I got. I trusted the sensibilities of Rishu, our creative director and before I knew it I had signed up for Girgit. 

How excited are you about the show?

Once I was on board we started doing rehearsals and I learnt that the show is going to be directed by Santosh Shetty who I had already worked with on Srikant Bashir. This was an added advantage and I was extremely happy with the way the rehearsals were going on. Another exciting part about the show was that we were to shoot in Himachal and it was right after the second lock down so it was a blessing in disguise. It’s a solid production, Rangrezza has been supportive & kind. Shelly Sharma, our DOP is fantastic & nonetheless the cast is power packed. Wonderful performers & team players. I am happy the way our show has turned out and I’m nervous but excited to view the response it’s going to get from the audiences. The vision we all shared for the show, has come together and has been translated very well onscreen, thanks to all departments, especially the post production team. I’m eagerly waiting for the release of Girgit and I hope it entertains our audiences to the fullest.
