Actress Ruhi Singh, a former pageant winner, sets the record straight about the misconceptions surrounding pageant titles. While they do offer opportunities, they don't guarantee work, she says. Singh, who has represented India internationally, credits pageants with giving her confidence but notes that it also came with a label she had to fight against - the perception that she's 'model material' and not an acting talent. However, Singh's hard work and dedication to her craft have paid off. She has honed her skills by attending acting classes with renowned instructors, including Atul Mongia, Neeraj Kabi, and Abha Joshi sir from the National School of Drama. Her extensive experience in theatre and character workshops has helped her break free from the constraints of her pageant image. The rise of OTT platforms has been a game-changer for Singh, allowing her to showcase her versatility as an actress. She credits OTT with changing the way filmmakers perceive her, enabling her to take on diverse roles and genres. Singh hopes that the industry continues to move away from labels and towards recognizing actors as performers, rather than being defined by their pageant background. One notable example of her growth as an actress is her role in Masti 4, where she was cast without an audition due to her ability to break free from her 'pageant girl' label. Singh's success in comedy, a notoriously challenging genre, is a testament to her dedication to her craft. She emphasizes that cracking a role and seeing it released are two different milestones, and the feedback from audiences is what truly matters to her as an actress.
