Ridhi Dogra Exclusive interview: The actor speaks about why she chose to do Jawan and Tiger 3 despite it not being something she is generally known for

Ridhi Dogra
Ridhi Dogra has had a successful month with the release of `Asur 2` (Jio Cinemas) and ‘`Badtameez Dil`’ (Amazon MiniTV) both co-starring Barun Sobti. However, the actress is far from done with the year as she now looks forward to the release of two big films in theatres. Dogra will be seen in both `Jawan` and `Tiger 3` scheduled to release this year. However, both `Jawan` and `Tiger 3` are not projects and genres she is generally known for.
"I had friends telling me, `Why are you doing these films?`. I had friends in the industry, asking me, `Why are you being a part of a film that is not about you?`. I was very clear that I am doing this not to take over the film. I am doing this for a very different reason. I was doing it to learn, to challenge myself, to put myself in an uncomfortable spot. I come from a world where we get so much love and adulation and we have a loyal fanbase. In today`s time, stardom is so instant. I feel really blessed to come from television where I enjoy that loyal fanbase. Whether I go to Kashmir or Chennai, I have met people who have seen my television shows and who are invested in me, and want to take a picture with me. I didn`t really need to go and do it and I did it for my own reasons,” Dogra told Mid-day.com.
