The 21-year-old Celesti Bairagey had determined to make a career in teaching. The pandemic made her a social media influencer, and one viral video garnered her a role in Indian television. Moving from a small town in Assam to Mumbai was a “major cultural shock” for the newbie, who was seeing high-rise buildings for the first time. “A casting director contacted me over Instagram and asked me to audition for the role of Rajjo. I sent my audition monologue as per their directions, but I didn’t tell anyone at home because I didn’t know how they would react. Since I had never worked on a daily soap before, I was not expecting a positive answer, but the next day I was asked to come to Mumbai for a mock shoot,” says Bairagey, who was accompanied by her father.
